Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder (2009) (Blu Ray) - 7/10

These direct to video Futurama movies have kind of been hit or miss lately but since this was the last one they made, I thought I would check it out to get my fill of the series. What I noticed first about this Blu Ray was how good the animation looked, much much better than it looks on TV. What makes this show and movie so appealing to me is the way they pretty much throw every random idea they can come up with regarding space travel and alien creatures but have it all revolve around these characters Bender and Lila that we've come to know so that once we see them getting into these hairy situations, you know exactly how they're gonna act and this movie doesn't disappoint. From interstellar miniature golf courses to an egg planet that can replicate all the extinct species in the world, I pretty much just go along for the ride and see what pop culture references they can throw in. While there are some funny gags regarding the machoism and sexual inuendos Bender throws at the females or the way they depict evolution, the movie didn't feel like the ultimate comedy conclusion to the series I was looking for. It seems that they had so many ideas for this final movie that they just decided to put them all in at once so that everyone's creativity could get credited. In the end, I enjoyed the movie for it's feature length and better graphics but in reality, I will probably just watch the show when it's on TV and not revisit these movies.
