Still Futurama... Still Just Futurama
2 July 2008
I have mixed feelings about the new "season" of Futurama being released first as a multi-episode mesh of a straight-to-DVD movie and then chopped up into three separate episodes. I enjoy getting all the goods at once. However, I feel like I'm being tricked into thinking that three distinctly different episodes are actually one movie.

This "movie" is three very distinctly different episodes. There is the one that gives the movie its title. A beast from another dimension comes through a rip in space and wants to love everyone on Earth. There is a second episode in which Fry falls in love with a woman who has multiple boyfriends. In the third episode, Bender joins a secret robot club that has the motto, "Kill All Humans." Bender's episode was the best, primarily because it featured Bender. The jokes are frequent and well-timed, as expected from Futurama. The beast episode spent most of its humor in representing Fry as an intelligent leader of a new religion. However, Fry's episode was sappy and lacking in much humor. This is all to be expected. Take any season of Futurama and you'll find Bender-focused episodes to be full of great jokes. Other episodes are either funny or sappy (rarely a lot of both). By combining all three of these stereotypical Futurama episodes into a single movie, you will get a good dose of whatever you prefer - as long as it isn't Dr. Zoidberg (who had an abnormally small role in the movie).
