While I’m a truly devoted Futurama fan, I’m not one of those condescending supergeeks who claim to love Futurama so much that I have the authority to tell everyone else how virulently they’re supposed to hate anything even slightly different than my favorite old episodes. (That’s right, you heard me.) I’m ecstatic that Futurama has returned from the dead, and I totally loved “Bender’s Big Score.” But this new Futurama flick disappoints. Most of what we know and love about Futurama is still here in spades, but this flick suffers from a poorly-developed plot and a degeneration of the show’s formerly deep and subversive humor.

The 88-minute format is either too long for a compact and focused plotline, or too short for the type of complex story the producers appear to be striving for. The story here jumps around at a very awkward pace and shows signs of severe over-editing. The jokes have been reduced to Family Guy-like asides played for cheap guffaws rather than deep thoughts. (The caped superhero is an unfortunate example, and Bender’s firstborn son is a very unfortunate example.)
Many holes and inconsistencies in the storyline show that plot construction took a backseat to the more easily written sight gags and cheap asides. (Here’s an example that hopefully won’t be condemned as a spoiler. Late in the film the new Yivo character says he [sklee] sent an image of himself to artists in our universe, but most of the story is built on the idea that Yivo thought he was alone in all universes.) The fundamental story has also trumped the longstanding strengths of the show. The personalities of Fry and Leela (and important supporting characters like Kif) are inconsistent, Bender has been demoted to an unworkable subplot, and Zoidberg does little more than vomit for simpleminded laughs. There are also many missed opportunities for building upon the cliffhangers left from “Bender’s Big Score.”

You can rest assured that the great Futurama animation, music, and voice acting (the actors have always been the show’s unsung heroes) won’t disappoint this time around. But the writing will. Certain fans may or may not like the basic story, but the bigger point is that everyone will notice the careless and unprofessional defects in the story. Hopefully this flick will just be a temporary misstep. Console yourself by remembering once again how lucky we are to have Futurama back among the living. [~doomsdayer520~]
I bought this on the day of release, so of course I’m a big Futurama fan and expected to like it. I thought Bender’s Big Score was a decent effort showing some rust, so to speak, and that the new releases would get better from there. This one is a letdown, though. No doubt, there are some good jokes, and I laughed here and there during the 90 minutes. But the writing really doesn’t feel like Futurama. The grossout and mildly sick humor is amped up (it was always there but balanced with the show’s sophisticated writing), and in particular, some of the humor that plays on the film’s “rape” plot has a slightly ugly edge. There’s also a lengthy subplot with Calculon that really drags down the film while offering almost no laughs.
The special features are pretty weak too. The deleted scenes reel is very short, the “blooper” section is just 2 minutes of the voice actors mugging for the video cameras (though this guy is happy to look at Tress McNeill and Katey Segal), and the full-length “episode” created for a video game just doesn’t have the laughs.
Bottom line: I eagerly awaited this and bought it day of release; I won’t be in such a hurry for the next one (which doesn’t look so hot, based on the preview included with this one).
