“I have been impressed with the other Futurama u0026#39;filmsu0026#39; (for wont of a better word), yet none of them achieved what this one did, the main thing I look for when watching the Futurama cartoon: laugh out loud comedy. And this has that – though not wall-to-wall, it contains enough clever plot writing to satisfy the most adamant of cartoon fans. The CGI far excels the majority of former episodes, although Futurama has always enjoyed a very shiny veneer of pure u0026#39;coolu0026#39;. The character development was handled with far more maturity than in the previous longer installments, and focused on characters which were previously overlooked. In addition, the popular culture references were intelligent, amusingly accurate and, above all else, integral to the plot. No part of this film felt unnecessary – every moment of the outing felt it was necessary to the overall shape of the piece.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn conclusion, this is by far the best longer-addition Futurama produced to this day. In fact, Iu0026#39;m only sad I saw an advanced viewing, because now I have longer to wait for the next production! The writers have proved they can provide fresh material and give it to the viewers in a non-patronising, intelligent but not pretentious manner.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBring on the next installement!”
