Ok for one. I'm sixteen years of age don't insult my intelligence, two I'm going to buy the movie if you read my post I said I didn't want to wait for the aussie release or buy online and three it was under spoilers so my assumption was that people weren't going to read them if they didn't want to be spoiled. SIMPLE AS THAT. I don't need a bunch of twats telling me otherwise.
I bought the dvds too even when I had a burned copy of them just to support the team. [This message has been edited by Spy (edited 11-21-2007).]

I loved the movie it was great and it had crude humor, scientific humor and those touching moments that made episodes like "jurrassic bark" so great. Speaking of that episode i loved how we found out what happened to Seymore to make him fossilised and we also learnt how old New York was destroyed. The whole time travel deal was cleverly constructed to expand what we know about the Futurama universe. I loved the whole Larz & Leela relationship story and i knew Fry was related to Larz the moment i seen him, It wasn't untill we seen Fry's double in the year 2012 (with the wrinkles) that i knew Fry's double was Larz. The story was excellent and i cant wait to find out what happens next. |

I have seen it. Oh my god it was amazing! I fell in love with Fry and Bender all over again and Leela is better then ever. | Spoilers ahead! Highlight to read. |
|---|
| I absolutely love the into, Hermes introducing the crew to the theme music. I feel sorry for Hermes with losing his body. Good to see Barbados Slim, Michelle, Seymour and other well known characers on it. There was a time when I was saying where is Zapp and Kif and they were there. Ok on the Bender: How adorable was he. Yes he is a sexy killing machine and I love his comment on Fry's tattoo on his butt “Hot or Not” I wouldn't mind having that tattoo on my butt. Fry: I love him! I love his relationship with the whale. It's adorable. Fry has a lot of heart doesn't he. I love his moments when he went back to his time Fry,Leela, Larrs (I hope I spelt it right) Ship: this had me going! It's brilliant, emotional and the best plot/twist ever. That is the best thing about the movie. Laughs: I have to say the nude beach was really funny. That is something to the guys, Leela and Amy naked and for the girls, Fry naked. I was laughing to much when Fry delived a package to the bartender. I hate those naked spammers Aliens. They make me cringe especially when one of them made out with himself now that everybody know the truth about Nibbler. Is he going to stay like that in the next movies?

Excellent movie. I just wish the DVD come on the UK really soon 5/5

| God, where to begin. BBS was great. The first half was a bit slow - itwas funny but there wasn't much else to it, the story didn't really take off until the second half. And boy did it take off. I think my favorite thing about BBS and its many sub-plots was the duplicate of Fry that stayed back in the 20th century. I love that whale(I always love the random animal characters is a movie, Plopper was my favorite aspect of the entire Simpsons Movie). :3 The whole |
*MAJOR* Spoilers begin here

"Fry is Lars" thing was very well done. It was unexpected but when you watch the movie again, it becomes obvious that they were heavily hinting at it all along. The whole "My hair! My lungs! ...I'm Lars!" discovery was a cheap way of having it all make sense... But I wouldn't have written anything better.  But that scene still made me cry - I'm so overly sensitive. |
And end there
| Spoilers ahead! Highlight to read. |

| Actually, BBS hit me even harder than Fryrish did. I also like how that matched up both Frys' stories to different situations. "I want what will make you happy, not what what make me happy." |
So overall: Best episode ever? No, but I'd probably rank it somewhere up there. And this is more than what I expected from Futurama's glorious return. Futurama - Just won't stay dead! 5/5

This was such a suprising movie. I was tempted to walk away and watch Top Gear but I couldn't stop watching. The time travel bit was quite confusing, but the hilarious storyline made up for that. I'll just say this- the ending was rushed, but that's good in the sense of wanting to watch the next movie. The shippiness was ok, but overall...
THIS MOVIE WAS GREAT!!! |

It took a long time for the movie to get going. The second half was definitely much better than the first half. There was some Fry-Leela shippiness, but not as much as I would have liked.

I did not like the story of the second Fry that gets left behind. It was dumb. Also, Fry's presence in the past completely negated the sadness of Jurassic Bark, which was very dissapointing to me.The twist at the end of the movie regarding Lars really turned the whole thing around got mr. I actually saw it coming at the very beginning, but managed to talk myself out of my theory. THe space battle was great, especially when they worked Hermes into it. The song were... ok

All in all it was very good. The sciency humor just didnt seem to be on par with what we're used to from the series.

I just finished watching it with my flatmate.
The storyline was a bit of a mess (I get annoyed by any time travel related stuff) and the songs weren't very good but there were some good moments and bits that tied into previous episodes.
Not the best futurama ever but I still think it will be worth getting the DVD.

I saw the package the other day, very cool. Iwent into a local video store and they had just received them. The guy at the desk let me take a look at the box, but of course he wouldn't sell it until next week. He said he was taking it home that night to watch, I would be jealous but he is paid $7 an hour and works Thanksgiving so I think he deserves it. The cover is a cardboard slipcase with the TV screen being a lenticular image of Bender.

| Well, finally, we're back! I have to admit, I'd kinda gone off Futurama a little these past few years. Not that I didn't still think it was great and all, I just rarely watched it anymore. It was already at the point where I knew most episodes line-for-line anyway. But, I can happily say that this movie has renewed my interest in it entirely. Well, where to begin? Firstly, LOVED the jokes at the start, such as the "many fans" one. I noticed there were a lot of callbacks. Futurama's always been pretty faithful to the universe it's created and this was absolutely no exception, though there were a few too many gags repeated directly as seen in the show, without any real point. Still, it wasn't too bad. Humour-wise, it's about as funny as any good episode of the show, only it manages to sustain itself for an hour and a half. Nice! Plot-wise, there is a LOT going on in this movie. Unlike the Family Guy movie, it doesn't just feel like multiple episodes put together though, and actually has a really good storyline, it's just that the structure is way off. It kinda takes a while to pick up, the middle bit's pretty confusing but then when they finally pay it off at the end, you realise just how smart it is. This is vintage Futurama here, people. Think Roswell That Ends Well's twist, but tripled. I do have a few gripes, though. Firstly, Nibbler's talking and being super-intelligent in front of everyone. Not only does he NOT erase their memories of it, but nobody seems all that phased by it - not even Leela. There's also no pay-off to that whatsoever. Secondly, Fry's storyline in the past COMPLETELY cancels out the emotional impact of episodes like The Luck of the Fryrish and Jurassic Bark (and the whole story with him and the sea creature just isn't that interesting). And, while I can buy the "heads in jars" idea, the fact that Hermes head remains alive when it's NOT in a jar is just plain retarded. I cannot praise the whole paradox/time travel storyline though. It gets so complicated but once everything is resolved it's just plain brilliant. The big twist at the end was great - I figured it out a couple of minutes before the reveal but I still went the majority of the movie without even being suspicious of it. I remember thinking "Hmm, that's clearly Billy West, he's not making THAT much effort to disguise his voice" pretty early but not giving it a second thought. D'oh. One thing that puzzles me, though, is how they're going to turn this into four individual episodes. Now, I kinda get what the storylines are (I'm assuming the Leela/Lars and the Fry-in-the-past storylines will run in the same episode, the nudist alien takeover is another storyline, possibly Herme's head though that seems like more sub-plot material, and there appears to be an Xmas episode somwhere in here) but given that they all run side-by-side with eachother (eg. You see Hermes' head in a jar in a LOT of scenes), it looks like they'll have to change a LOT of stuff to make it work. I'll be interested to see how they do it. Perhaps the main story will be a two-parter. Anyone notice in the credits how they actually list the movie as officially being episodes 501-504? Anyway, overall, I really enjoyed it. It wasn't as gut-wrenchingly hilarious as I was hoping it'd be but the humour is still conistent and the mind-blowing-ness of the storyline more than makes up for it. Can't wait for the second one! Oh, loved "This Toy Shop's Going to War," too. The first song was kinda lousy but that was great. A |
On a final note, "Bender's Big Score" is an asbolutely TERRIBLE title for this movie. It makes it sound like it's about Bender becoming a football player or something (which is especially bad given that one of the other movies is also called "Bender's Game" ). Couldn't the writers have thought of something, uhhhh, better? [This message has been edited by Beamer (edited 11-22-2007).]

| Okay, I'll be the wet blanket here. For a movie to have so much potential, it fell flat with me. Not as bad as The Cryonic Woman or That's Lobstertainment but damned sure not as good as The Sting or Roswell. This was a case of trying to add every character in a space of ninety minutes. It was very rushed. The multiple time paradoxes, while intergral to the story, were confusing and the ad hoc nature of the time changes were disjointed. The biggest thing was that they crapped all over the continuity of the series. Suddenly Devil's Hands meant nothing, Fry's sudden disappearnce was negated, the story of Seymour was thrown in the garbage and Nibbler came out of hiding and not a single person seemed to care. Leela should have at least asked a few questions about the 'pet' that she has fed for seven years. Nothing about "The Other", the mighty Nibbolonian fleet is defeated by naked aliens swinging folding chairs - WTF? Leela says that Lars is the only man she'll love when Lars was Fry - you would think that the dumb broad would realize that Fry being Lars would mean that whe really loves Fry. Not a fucking word of kindness from Leela to Fry. She knows how Fry feels about her, yet she seems to have no problem parading every new boyfriend she gets in his face. She seems to enjoy tormenting Fry - she knows she can do no wrong in his eyes, so he's her ego-boost. I'm beginning to hate the Leela character more each time I see her - she in her own way is more clueless and vain than Amy ever thought of being. This movie has now made the entire series less special because all the fine storytelling and raw emotion that the series bought forth was flushed like cheap toilet paper just so they could say it was big and spectacular. A big letdown. Of course I was expecting much more, but the budget cuts show. The songs sucked - none reached the greatness of Robot Hell, The Elves Are Back or Devil's Hands. The lack of the orchastra showed. The writers should give back part of their salary for coming up with this convoluted mess of a script and beg for a chance at redemption. This is my opinion and I'm sure that it will be the opinions of others, and others will hate me for dissing this crapfest of a movie. I will buy the other DVD's in hopes of a reserection of the series, but that's the only reason. I hope the other 3 DVD's are better than Benders Big Score. I give it a "Two snaps down and going down in flames". Ralph 'You blew this one, Matt Groening' Snart |

| To the people saying they downt know how they will turn it into 4 episodes go back to every 22 minute mark and watch. Youll notice at the end of every 22 minute a major event happens, such as at the 22 minute mark nuist discover the time sphere and nibler calls the attack. When the attack fails because of their "mighty chairs" nibbler yells "we're doooommmmeeedddd". Which would signify the end of the first episode. At the 44 mintue mark you'll notice Fry is killed by bender, That would be the end of the 2nd episode. And at the end of the 66th minute you'll notice Nixon loses the Planet Earth to the scammers and they are forced to abandon the planet. That would be the end of the 3rd episode so i think that the episode structure is pretty obvious. |

I got the movie on DVD yesterday and I love it! I’ve watched it twice already, I wanted to see it a couple of times before reviewing it…| Spoilers ahead! Highlight to read. |
|---|
| The beginning caught me off guard, I love the way it starts with that owl and then Hermes introducing the crew again. I was expecting the main intro first but this was a really great way to introduce us to everyone again. Speaking of the main intro, I love the new longer spiced up version of the intro, and the extra music is great as well. Those 4 years of waiting were all worth it just for that! Having a call back to Space Pilot 3000 playing on the TV screen in the intro was a smart move too… I disagree with the people saying the first part of the movie is slow and not as good. I think I actually preferred the first half myself as it was more joke orientated and more pure entertainment. I’m a big fan of the Season 2 style episodes of Futurama which had a light hearted jokey style and this reminded me of that. On the subject of the style and eras of the show, this movie interestingly didn’t feel specifically like any one era of the show, it felt like it’s own entity with different elements of the show spliced in for good measure, which I like. Personally I’m not such a big fan of Season 4’s style and I was worried this movie would follow suit, luckily it didn’t which I was relieved about. The humour on the whole was great, although this isn’t the funniest Futurama has been. There were enough jokes to keep things funny throughout with only a couple of misses. All of Hermes decapitation jokes were hilarious; it was great seeing so much of Hermes as I really like him. Surprisingly not much Dr Zoidberg, but I’m sure he’ll be used a lot more in the other movies. The plot was really interesting and had a great twist. The time travel paradoxes are always fun and interesting. I wonder how many more times plots will involve the Cryogenics lab in the year 2000. The love story between Fry and that whale thing was quite touching. This movie had heart and was quite sad but it once again showed there is a lot of depth to Fry’s character beyond stupidity. I’ve never been a fan of Nibbler talking, but thankfully in this movie he was used sparingly and it actually worked well. There were plenty of call backs to past episodes which was great. I noticed on second viewing that when Lars visits Planet Express the fossilised Seymour is in the background which is a nice touch. I thought it was absolute genius showing how Seymour got fossilized in the past. It always bugged me how he went to sleep and died and yet his fossil is standing on all fours. Now we know why! Also Bender in the flying saucer as Fry is Frozen was such a genius call back and reference. The Nude aliens were ok characters, not the greatest but they did the job. Nudar’s voice sounded very familiar for some reason, it reminded me of the principles voice at Leela’s orphanarium. The voice acting in this movie was on top form, really great and nothing to complain about. I didn’t like how some of the characters voices were going in Season 4, but this movie has them sounding more like Season 2 and 3 era which is a good thing in my book. On the downside the animation bugged me at times. It was still really well animated but sometimes the characters were too off-model, especially Professor Farnsworth. It’s not a major problem, but it’s a slight disappointment. Not much 3D either but that’s probably down to budget. It’s a shame there was no score, it was noticeably absent and hurt the movie a little. Especially as recently I’ve been playing Super Mario Galaxy and that has some beautiful orchestrated music despite the fact it’s just a Mario game! The songs were both ok, not up to past standards but not bad either. I forgive the first song just for Robot Santa’s dance, that was frigging hilarious!... I was surprised there was no All My Circuits of Scary Door but there was some Hypnotoad to make up for that. Also some people have complained about too many characters being shoved in. I disagree, there were just the right amount and there’s plenty of character completely absent from this movie. Could’ve done with more Zapp Brannigan but maybe they’re saving him for the other movies... Everyone was in character, and I was relieved that Bender wasn’t obnoxious like he has been in such episodes as ‘A Pharaoh To Remember’. I was a little disappointed by the transfer of this DVD, Fox Home Entertainment should have done a better job as there was quite a bit of shimmering evident on the outlines in quite a few scenes. It’ll be interesting to see how the UK version compares when that comes out. It will also be interesting to see how the HD version of the movie compares whenever that hits. Also wasn’t this meant to be in widescreen? There certainly weren’t any black bars at the top and bottom of my TV, it filled the screen. The extras are ok. I just about managed to sit through all 22 mins of Everybody Loves Hypnotoad. I sure as hell won’t be doing that again in a hurry! The maths lecture was alright, could’ve done with more Futurama. Haven’t watched with commentary yet, will do that tomorrow. Nice to see the full 5 minute original trailer from the Comic Con which somehow never leaked onto the internet. The packaging is excellent. I love the artwork, and the slipcase with the holographic cover underneath is really nicely designed. |
Overall I would say this movie is well worth the wait, it’s a fantastic Futurama adventure and well worthy of continuing alongside Futurams’ legacy. It’s not as good as the best Futurama, but it’s certainly better than the worst Futurama so that’s more than good enough for me! I can’t wait for the next Futurama movie, roll on ‘The Beast With A Billion Backs’!...

Okay, I indulged/treated myself for Thanksgiving, saw it the other day, except for the end. (Thanks Fox). But since I already knew about the 'twist' at the end anyway, I figure I can wait for that part.First, I agree with all those who said that it felt rushed and choppy in parts. Understandably, it seemed like the writers were trying to cram in a lot of material. This impression was intensified by the large number of characters - some of them seeming randomly thrown in. Overall I enjoyed it and laughed a good amount of times, but I did have a few problems with it. The plot was fairly well done but I had some issues with some of the style aspects and some of the decisions made by the writers. | Spoilers ahead! Highlight to read. |
|---|
| I agree with Beamer that Nibbler started talking in front of the crew with too little provocation and that his revealing himself had absolutely no real point or reason, especially without erasing their memories later. Why would the Brainspawn attack have not been important enough for Nibbler to reveal himself but these naked aliens were? Also, what was with Nibbler's voice? I think this may have been explained somewhere once but it sounded different to me. It was nice to see a lot of the minor characters again, but with so many being tossed in, I was a bit disappointed with no Mom or Calculon, those being two of my favorites; I mean, they had room for Michelle and Chanukah Zombie but not Mom and Calculon?
Also, there was no Kif/Amy interaction at all, which I know is a good thing to some people. Bits I loved: The drunk guy in the phone booth; the recurring references to "Torgo's powder" products or whatever those were--how is it no MST3K fan has brought that up yet?--and, while I don't agree with the writers' apparent decision to retcon Luck of the Fryrish, Cryonic Woman and Jurassic Bark, I must say I did laugh at the 'explanation' of how Seymour got fossilized. It was...creative. The parts with Fry back with his family again were very sweet, and the Bender/time travel stuff was funny. In fact Bender was possibly the best thing in this movie. I thought the songs could have used some more work though, they could have been improved; I don't feel they lived up to the standard of the Robot Hell song, the Neptunian elves' or the one in HHRHGB. They'll likely grow on me with further listenings, however. Speaking of Hermes, I also enjoyed the LaBarbara/Barbados Slim subplot--it was nice to see more of them. |
All in all, it just somehow didn't quite...feel like Futurama to me; maybe it was the relative lack of science-based jokes, the somewhat rushed nature or the fact that I didn't think it had the emotional effectiveness of some of the best episodes. Despite all this, I did still enjoy it, but I don't think it was up to the quality standard of the series as a whole.

| What's really bugging me is the fact that they totally and completly ingnored TDHAIPT and the stuff that happened in TLOTF, Jurassic Bark and some stuff in Cryonic Woman have been negated by Fry going back in time. It ruins the emotional aspecys of Jurassic Bark because Seymore never had to wait for Fry to return because Fry was there for the rest of Seymores life and Bender killed Seymore not him being so loyal to Fry that he dies waiting for him. And Luck of the Fryrish, well He was never missing therefore no one missed him so the fact the Yancey named his son after his little brother makes the story pointless. If Fry wasn't missing then Cryonic woman and Michelle freezing herself is pointless becuase she does what Leela does qwith Fry. She knows that he'll keep coming back so she uses him until she finds someone better ditches him then the guy turns out to be a complete dickhead and she goes back to Fry. Which brings me to something else that bugs me. The way Leela treats Fry. I haven't seen the end so I don't know how she was when she found out that Lars was Fry but she knows how Fry feels and keeps going on and on about Lars around Fry like she shoving it in his face that she found someone better. I don't get the whole LaBara/Hermes/Barbados Slim stuff. Considering that she dumped Barbados Slim For Hermes in the first place makes me think that she doesn't care about someones body but yet she keeps whitching Between Barbados and Hermes because of bodiues so that was pretty random to me. The songs were defianatly missing stuff but due to budget cuts can't blame them much. But they still could have done more. |
I'll second what km73 said about it not feeling entirly like Futurama due to a lack sciecy jokes. It still had some fot eh emotional stuff like it would normally. It was good but not as good as it could have been.

| About the whole Jurassic Bark thing; to me it doesn't ruin it, to me it actually makes Jurassic Bark make more sense. How else could you explain the fossilised Seymour in Jurassic Bark standing on all fours when he quite clearly died with his head down lieing on the pavement? It's almost as if they had this alternate past planned all along and they knew that Seymour didn't really die like that, hence Jurassic Bark now makes much more sense and therefore is better now... |

| It ruins it because Fry never went missing therefore Seymore never waited there for 12 years waiting for someone who wasn't going to come back. Because the Fry who went back was there it changes the ending because Seymore had to wait, therefore he never searched for fry and no one missed Fry at all. Yes it does explain why Seymore was on all fours but it wasn't him waiting for Fry because Bender killed him trying to kill Fry. Whole timelines and stories are now changed and don't work anymore because of Fry going into the past and therefore wasn't missing at all. |

| The movie doesn't ruin the emotion for me for Jurassic Bark, infact it does make it seem like more sense but i'm happy Seymour never lost Fry cause I have said I want Seymour back. Also did you notice Seymour was in the movie a number of times as a fossil in the future on a shelf or a bookcase, but I never found TLOTF sad so I had no emotion for it. One a last note, Zapp and Kif were in this movie very little, also NO robot Devil :/ |
I cant believe nobody has talked much about this | Spoilers ahead! Highlight to read. |

| Firstly, the Robot Devil was in it briefly - he was conducting his band at the church. Secondly, I didn't even think that ending was a cliffhanger. I just thought it was something in the same vein as the ending of The Cryonic Woman or A Tale of Two Santas... Like how every Goosebumps book ended with a horrible twist with no intention of resolution. |

This has nothing to do with anything you guys were talking about but the IMDB boards for the movie are hateful. It's a shame.
