Proving that you just can't keep a good animated series down, Bender's Big Score revives the Futurama crew in a full-length feature (reportedly, the first of four which will later be broken down into individual episodes for television broadcast) chock full of the satiric touches that made the Matt Groening series a cult favorite among sci-fi and animation fans. In true Futurama form, the plot of Big Score is proudly ridiculous: At its core, it's about alien telemarketers with a plan to steal Earth's most valuable historical objects, who use e-mail viruses to cripple Planet Express and take control of belligerent robot Bender; the latter carries out their scheme via a time-travel code tattooed on Fry's backside. This allows for all manner of subplots involving Fry's return to the 20 th century, romantic confusion between Fry and Leela (Katey Sagal), and a host of cameos ranging from Kwaanza-bot (Coolio) and Zapp Brannigan to Al Gore (voiced by the real former vice-president, who once again displays an offbeat sense of humor).
Bender's Big Score also features a staggering amount of extras that reflect the show's sense of playful anarchy. Most valuable to longtime fans is the feature-length commentary by Groening, writers Ken Keeler and David X. Cohen, director Dwayne Carey-Hill, and cast members Billy West (Fry), DiMaggio, and Phil LaMarr, which provides a wealth of information on the film's production as well as plenty of laughs from the voice actors. "Futurama Returns!" is a live comic book reading by the cast in front of an enthusiastic convention audience, while "A Terrifying Message from Al Gore" is a short animated promo featuring the ex-veep in an animated promo for his Inconvenient Truth documentary (Gore's commentary for this short is worth the DVD's sale price alone), and "Bite My Shiny Metal X" is an amusing, tongue-in-cheek lesson on the mathematics used to deliver the show's futuristic touches. Perhaps the oddest extra is a full-length episode of Everybody Loves Hypnotoad, a sitcom based around the bizarre title creature that will provoke equal amounts of laughter and exasperation. A small battery of deleted scenes, new character design sketches, and a five-minute promo shot for Comic-Con round out the extras. --Paul Gaita

- Benders Big Return
thats right futurama is back!! the first of the four futurama movies is in my opinion the best of the series. the story begins with a delvery to the nude beach planet were they give their e-mail adresses to naked pink creatures then they start getting tons of spam and bender gets a virus and the nude pink aliens take planet express and discover time travel they then send bender on a stealing spree through time. there is still classic futurama humor and fans will not be dissapointed with the first ...

Rating: - Crappy Case
Movie is Great for Futurama(5 stars). But Case is very very thin cardboard and the disc just slides into a cardboard slot. I am tired of paying good money for movies and no good place to stored it. If I just wanted to watch it I would have put it on netflix. I like to collect my favorite movies/shows I want a nice case for spending 15+ dollars.(I know they claim the poor cases are for the dirty hippies)

Rating: - FUTURAMA LIVES!!!
Futurama: Bender's Big Score brings back to the screen Fry and the gang as they try to stop a trio of alien scammers who have their eyes set on planet Earth! All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the animation does come alive)! Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few laughs.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the humor, and the music are all excellent!

Rating: - A triumphant return for Futurama, fun for fans and noobs alike
This is the first of the four feature-length films comprising Futurama's revival, and it's the most complete effort of the four.Because of the feature-length format, the writers employ a multithreaded plot that gets tangled at times, but the characterization and multifaceted humor is vintage Futurama, and the movie always feels fun and enjoyable as the plot develops.
Back at Planet Express after a two-year hiatus, the crew head off to make a delivery to a nude beach planet, where they encounter ... Read More
