Futurama : Into The Wild Green Yonder

Review by 
Gareth Von Kallenbach

The fourth (and lets hope not final) of the planned straight to DVD Futurama movies, Futurama: Into The Wild Green Yonder has arrived and continues the winning formula of the television series and three previous films.

Not only that, but it ties things up nicely should this be the final outing for the Planet Express crew.

The film opens with a new take on the traditional opening credits and we are treated to the scenic Mars Vegas complete with futuristic interpretations of the class Las Vegas hotels.

Futurama Movie

As the film opens, Mars Vegas is being destroyed to make way for a new and even better Mars Vegas.

This does not sit well with Amy (Lauren Tom), as her father is the one behind all of this, and when she learns that he plans to eliminate portions of a solar system to make the universes biggest miniature golf course - she decides to join a militant feminist group with Leela (Katey Sagal).

As this is happening Fry (Billy West), learns that he has the power to read minds and is recruited by a secret organisation who inform him of a great evil that is loose in the galaxy and that he will be the key to preserving the universe.

Bender (John Di Maggio), as usual, is happy to drink and grift his way through life until an affair with a local crime figures wife provides him with some danger and distraction.

When a planned protest goes horribly wrong, Leela and Amy end up as fugitives and are doggedly pursued by Captain Zapp Brannigan as they race against the clock to save the creatures of the solar system from Leo Wong's planned construction.

Futurama: Into The Wild Green Yonder is loaded with laughs and plenty of pop culture gags. Snoop Dogg and Penn Jilette make cameo appearances as do many of the characters from the series.

With sharp picture and sound, this is yet another enjoyable adventure for fans and should add demand for future adventures in the series and provide great viewing enjoyment.

EXTRAS

There are loads of extras which include a whole bunch of deleted scenes and commentaries. But while your out at the DVD store, you might as well check out The Beast With A Billion Backs and Benders Big Score as well.

Conclusion: Movie 80% Extras: 70%
