“And here we are, folks. Weu0026#39;ve reached the final installment of the four direct-to-DVD Futurama films. Itu0026#39;s been fun, but sadly, all good things must come to an end.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile u0026quot;Into the Wild Green Yonderu0026quot; isnu0026#39;t the strongest of the four films, it certainly offers up laughs and plenty of the clever, over the top sci-fi concepts that the series is famous for. Unfortunately, for every joke that hits the nail on the head, another joke comes across as contrived, or simply falls a little flat. Not to despair though, as the jokes that work, work really, really well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe animation is, as always, top notch. The characters we all know and love are once again brought to life by the wonderful cast, and we get a couple of bonus cameos here thanks to Penn Jillette, Snoop Dogg, and Family Guyu0026#39;s Seth MacFarlane.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs with the other 3 DVD Futurama movies, the story is a tad messy, jumping from plot thread to plot thread, with each episode only vaguely maintaining a semblance of continuity until everything is tied up neatly at the end. That said, the overarching story in this outing is actually very clever, and the ending is spectacular and well designed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story ties up some loose ends, but also leaves us on an ambiguous note, perhaps hinting at a future series of DVD movies, or a theatrical film, or, hopefully, an entire new season to grace our TV screens. Fingers crossed that we get more Futurama, as this series is no where near reaching its use-by-date.”
