This follow-up outing begins to show the strain of 3-4 episodes being melded together. Go to Full Review

Instead of stretching for feature-sized drama and weighty character arcs, The Beast with a Billion Backs feels more like an easy B-movie... Go to Full Review

Doesn't come close to the show's best episodes. Go to Full Review

If you're a Futurama newbie, I'd start with S1 and S2. These flicks are for the wackos who know the difference between Morbo, Calculon, and Wernstrom. Go to Full Review

Ron P Aug 10, 2017 Futurama is usually a smart funny show, and they can make great 23-minute episodes, but they are so stupid at making 1-hour movies. To me, The Beast with a Billion Backs is the worst of the 4 movies, the script and writing is super-lazy and hodgepodge. See more
Ron M Jul 14, 2017 Fantastic animated movie of a great animated tv show by the creator of the Simpson's, Matt Groening. It's sad that Fox cancelled futurama, even though I didn't see it live on tv, I recently binged watched the entire series on Netflix before it goes away in July. I finished the series in 5 days, a week before July, I felt pretty accomplished finishing this great show and now I'm onto watching the movies in between the cancellation of this show. Sorry for that little intro, now onto the actual review, I really liked the animation and felt just like a long episode of the show. The story was good and that's it. I like seeing all my favorite characters in a movie, I doubt that they'll make an actual movie in theaters but this is good enough for now. See more
Rey W Jul 12, 2008 TONS of 'inside' jokes and throwbacks to older Futurama episodes built in specifically for people like me.
