Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The latest feature-length DVD spin-off from Matt Groening’s terrific Futurama, The Beast With The Billion Backs picks up directly after the recent Bender’s Big Score, and the momentum and fun from that production comes along with it. The story of The Beast With The Billion Backs follows, as you may have guessed from the title, the arrival of a strange creature on Earth. Said creature then takes control of Fry, who becomes the Pope of a brand new religion that soon begins to exert its grip on the planet. And without giving too much away, the panic and paranoia becomes just one part of an ambitious animated adventure, that makes a fair few points among its many, many laughs. The good news for fans of Futurama is that The Beast With The Billion Backs really delivers, with more guffaws and a better all-round script than the mightily enjoyable Bender’s Big Score. It’s not without the odd problem, and still doesn’t quite manage to match the highs of the TV show at its finest, but it’s a very welcome fresh addition to the Futurama universe. Two further direct-to-DVD movies are in the works at the time of this review being written, and with them comes continued hope for a full-on revival of one of the funniest animated programmes of the past ten years. It may not make suitable family viewing, but Futurama is brilliant television, and The Beast With A Billion Backs offers plenty of evidence as to why. Strongly recommended. --Jon Foster Synopsis: In FUTURAMA - THE BEAST WITH A BILLION BACKS, space rips open, allowing a monster the size of a planet to come to Earth. The alien uses its powers to make Fry the head of a new religion that convinces its followers to depart from Earth, leaving the robots to take over the planet. The second in a series of full-length Futurama titles, THE BEAST WITH A BILLION BACKS features regular characters and appearances by Dan Castellaneta (THE SIMPSONS), David Cross (ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT), Brittany Murphy (8 MILE), and Stephen Hawking.

 Rating:  - love 31st century stylefuturama, the science fiction cartoon brought to you by those who made the simpsons, returns for another tv movie. like the first one in this range, bender's big score, it's actually four episodes that form one long story joined together in one long 85 minute movie. and anyone who says it's not funny is absolutely right. because it's not funny. It's absolutely hilarious! slightly better paced as a movie than bender's big score, the jokes just keep coming and the pace never lets up for eighty five minutes as a result. and very very funny these jokes are. the film follows on directly from the cliffhanger ending of bender's big score, but you don't need to have watched that in order to get into this. the story ... Read More: Rating: - Not perfect but definitely good fun!The plot of this feature length Futurama episode is no where near as intelligent as "Bender's Big Score" but it is just as enjoyable and possibly slightly more humourous ("Bender's Big Score" wasn't big on laughs). The funniest part for me was Destructor's line "MY LEG FEELS FUNNY!" this was back to the old almost unexplained hilarity of Futurama. However, the storyline is generally quite gross, which wouldn't bother everyone, but if you only like Futurama's really intelligent brand of humour, this is not for you. The special features are brilliant, particularly the animated trailer for "An Inconvenient Truth" and the epidode comprised of all the cut scenes from the old Futurama videogame, a real must have for any Futurama ...

Now, after watching it in 20 mins clips (as 4 episodes rather than a movie) I must confess....it is as good as the TV shows. With Bender taking over Earth, Fry becoming pope of a new religion....this cannot be missed for a futurama fan... gotta wait till Nov now for the next 1 Rating:  - So weak! No comparison to the TV series.This and "Benders Big Score" where such a let down for me. I'm a huge fan of the TV series and was looking forward to these feature length films. But all the writers have managed to do is mess up the characters and storylines created by the excellent TV series. All the jokes have been taken from the series. The storylines are weak and they just drag on and on. I wish they never bothered Rating:  - Solid Futurama stuff...I must be one of the very few people that prefered Bender's Big Score to this effort, which I gave 4 stars. Don't get me wrong, this is funny and average for Futurama, which for a fan still makes it better than alternatives! There were funny things going on, but the whole tentacle thing ended up being tedious for me as did the colleen poly-relationship "joke". Could see where that was going pretty quick. Some people said Big Score was too confusing.... Well, it's a sad fact that some things do need an IQ in double figures to follow. Hardly fair for all animated fun to be simplistic! For me, this was also too repetitive. A recycled swamp side-story is a prime example of this. But.... As is sometimes the case ... Read More: |
