This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Surprisingly incoherent and boring
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreI had been watching "The Simpsons" for ten years when I learned that Matt Groening was creating a second show. I figured that this new one might be interesting, especially since it would depict a man from the 20th century getting cryogenically frozen and waking up 1,000 years in the future. Well, despite a few funny lines, "Futurama" turned out to be a wasted effort. Bland, uninspired story lines made the show a real cop-out. It should come as no surprise that "Futurama" eventually ended while "The Simpsons" is still on. A few years ago there was a crossover episode between the shows, and that's as much as we need.In conclusion, avoid "Futurama". Matt Groening's other show is the one to stick with.
View MoreIf you would like a show where you could actually love the characters, the plots, and theme of the show, than Futurama is the show I would utterly recommend to you. In my opinion, it is a show that will satisfy any person that is interested in a Family Guy like comedy (except that Futurama's comedy makes much more sense and is not random like Family Guy) and has an interest in drama and suspense. Based on my experience, I REALLY love the story and plot of the whole series. I really enjoy the situation between the main characters and the missions they embark on. Personally, it makes me think that if I had the chance to live in that universe, I would want to live there in a heartbeat. This show has really changed my outlook on life.
View MoreThis is the first adult cartoon I've consistently watched. Sure, I've seen a few episodes of "Family Guy" and "the Simpsons", but I never got into them, that and my parents wouldn't allow me to watch those. Now that I'm older, I decided to watch "Futurama" after hearing a ton of praise for the show. And it deserves every bit of it. The main purpose of shows like "South Park" and "Family Guy" is to make you laugh, "Futurama" does that but it also does so much more. This show makes you think about mortality, relationships, and religion. It can also makes you cry. Try watching "Jurassic Bark", "Luck of the Fryirsh", and "Lethal Inspection" without shedding a tear. I'm kind of sad the show got canceled yet again, because I've just recently started watching it, but at least it had the dignity to end. I'm looking' at you, "Simpsons". If you're old enough to watch adult cartoons (which if you're reading this, I assume you are), go check this show out, you won't regret it.
View MoreSometimes I feel like Futurama was made for me. It has everything I love in a show (nerdy jokes, romance, lovable characters, huge world, satire, dungeons and dragons, freeze frame jokes, clever writing, plot twists, continuation, inter dimensional travel, space ships, aliens, an endless list of awesome quotes, and robots) squished together in a futuristic little package. It's light hearted and gives the gift of endless laughter to anyone willing to watch. You can relate to the characters who each have their own flaws and back stories. They are all kinds of crazy in their own way, but the great thing is that nobody in the show cares! Their craziness brings the planet express crew (mainly bender, fry, and leela) together as friends and gets them in and out of a whole bunch of crazy (and awesome) adventures. This show also has its heart-felt moments, and the fact that these moments tend to be thrown into an episode that's making you laugh 90% of the way through makes them that much harder to bear. The show even gets philosophical sometimes, like when bender talks to a god-like space entity in "Godfellas" and when The Professor is put into a spot that makes him second guess the evolutionary theory in "Clockwork Origin".This series did not deserve all the crap it was put through during its life span. It was really ahead of its time back in 1999. Now that sci-fi is becoming more and more popular, I hope that it can return one day in some form.
