Futurama Is Back !
Friday, November 23rd, 2007
Pure J.O.Y. !
Is one of the sensations watching the new Futurama movie would induce, had it been any good.
Unfortunately it wasn’t any better than a casual futurama episode, streched over an hour an a half, with a loose storyline connecting the parts.
I’m happy Futurama has risen from the dead, another movie is even scheduled for 2008, I just hoped that in more than 2 years of cinematic death, they would come up with some of the quality humor that made futurama what is was in the 30th century of 2005.
One special part I did enjoy was when they remembered to cast fry’s beloved dog, who waited for him in the year 2000. It was one of the saddest most beautiful episodes futurama ever aired.
Then they ruined it by over doing the scene, spoiling all the good things that made the doggy lovable.
It felt like the creators had took the futurama theme, dressed it with "current" out dated jokes, like the whole spam thing, and mixed it with old futurama jokes. They should have invested their time in creating an independent self sustained creation, much like The Simpsons did in their movie.
Disappointed, but still loving futurama. Hopefully the series will return with new episodes.
