Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder [Blu-ray]

Used but like new

I wish I'd gotten this on Blu-Ray. I simply didn't think about it when I ordered it. Blu-Ray has video commentary, which would have been fun. The regular DVD has the same commentary, but audio-only, played on top of the movie as a language selection.Great show, great extras, I really hope they keep making them like this. When I think back to a lot of other 30-minute TV shows that tried to make something feature length, it generally just falls flat (coughsimpsonscough) but the Futurama writers know their stuff and all of these post-network releases have been awesome. I will gladly pay-to-play for as long as they keep making them.Although I have to say, I'd also like to see them try something like this: Drop the extras, go back to a 30 minute format and release the episodes straight to Amazon Unbox or iTunes for a couple bucks per episode and see how that sells. I would eat something like that UP. You could still collect them and release them in DVD format with commentary later on but I could really go for some more frequent Futurama.I like it either way, I'm just sayin', there are other ways to get my money if the feature-length idea ever loses steam.(Edit: Oh, I have to say I was kind of disappointed when they had literally the entire cast for every audio commentary on every Fururama DVD EXCEPT Lauren Tom (Amy). She's always missing from the extras/commentary. In this DVD, there is an entire extra feature that consists of just her. We find out that she is, in fact, responsible for the entire creation of the show... er, sort of.)

If you like Futurama, Simpsons, Family Guy, Cleveland Show, Big Bang Theory, or other cartoon/nerdy shows, this movie (and the series in general) is a must see!This is the 4th, and final, full length movie made during the time frame after Futurama was originally cancelled but before it was revived on Comedy Central.There are some connections between the series and the other movies, but you can watch it individually and enjoy it. It might take a little while to get to know the characters, but even if you are not familiar with the characters, the jokes are still really good.

I'm about as big of a Futurama buff as someone can be. Bender's Game was my favorite of the movies, but this was a close second. I think what this movie did better than any of the other movies was stay focused on the main characters from the show and exhibit their personalities. This was also a funnier movie than Beast or Big Score. The story was entertaining too and never really lulled or lost direction.

The last of the four movies made for Futurama 'Into the Wild Green Yonder' is yet another very good movie for the Futurama gang however it is not their best work. I rate it 4 Stars not because I think it really deserves 4 stars, I would tend to actually say it deserves 4.5 stars, but that is the math geek in me coming out. One of the wonderful things that has come out of these movies, is that their strong thematic structure allows the show to carry forward basically any story line, and this of course allows someone who has never seen the show to watch it and be in a position where they can watch one of the movies with out any prior knowledge to the show still have a base understanding of the idea, the concepts and the characters. However, it does kind of become an addiction after your first taste, because then you want to see all of the shows and learn more about each of the characters and how they develop, etc. Only to learn that you are at the end of what was a Great show!There are plenty of fresh jokes in 'Into the Wild Green Yonder' as well as plenty of fresh ideas, it is just that in my opinion the last Movie; 'Benders Game' was a little more creative and had a bit stronger movie concept then this final episode. This is not to say that this final episode is weak in any form, If I were to rate these four movies I would rate this last one and Benders Game as the two best of the four1But I guess that if one is to think about how you would end a show like this, there are so many 'easy routes to end it and just call it a day with out putting too much work into the last of the four, like so many other television shows do. The makers of Futurama did do an above average job at closing things out. (Basically they didn't dwell on the 'sappy' ending that it could have been and they didn't do what is know known as the 'Saprano's' style ending!). The story line is very creative and like always a bit reflective on humanity and our overall existence, which may fit into many people's idea of our inevitable course of being. The creators at Futurama have an interesting way of looking at divergent viewpoints when it comes to politics and humanity. They have the ability and use it with out being preachy or self righteous about these things. And I find it very interesting the way they did choose to end it. With out trying to give too much away it is a bit biblical in a way that it seems that only Futurama can do.As a fan who owns all of the television episodes and has watched them more times then I care to remember, (Thanks to an Archos 605, without which I have no idea how I have ever flown on a plane or even watched late night videos w/o bothering anyone before?) I have also watched all of the Movies as well as own them I can say that I am sad to see a creative show like this fade into television history! I will say that if you have the chance to take a look at the extra s in some of the movies, there are some very interesting pieces well worth watching, especially if you are like me and a bit geeky!I will say that if you find the show even a bit interesting the movies are definitely worth owning in your collection. As I am sure you will find yourself watching these movies more then one time and in doing you will let yourself in on the inside jokes as well as some of the more creative aspects of the show.

This film intersperses myriad explicit and oblique allusions to to Star Trek, 1970's commercials, 20th century Americana, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster, with biting social satire. Truly, humor is subjective so some may be disappointed. Some like their entertainment to be like Brannigan's love (hard and fast). Some people suffer from sexlexia. Others will be profoundly gratified by its wittiness, irony, and raucous hilarity. Personally, I think the less than stellar reviews are pure, weapons grade bolognium. Judge it for yourselves, why not....

My whole family loves Futurama, and we found this very funny. But it was just so sad to think that this may be the end. I still can't believe that Fox can't find a place in its animation line-up for a show that won its timeslot when it was on the air (despite miserable promotion and frequent pre-emption), has a loyal fan base, and was created by the man who made Fox rich with The Simpsons. Please, please, bring Futurama back!

The final movie in the Futurama series and by far my absolute favorite. Funny, tugs at your heart strings in all the right places, and a must buy. Dvd came at the perfect time, which was earlier than expected.

Arrived quickly and in perfect condition

Ich liebe diesen zusammen mit den 3 anderen Filmen von Futurama

État du volume impeccable et délai d'envoi des plus satisfaisants. Et les DVD sont toujours fort bien emballés! C'est toujours un plaisir de transiger avec Amazon.fr. Et ce ne sera pas la dernière fois! :))

Fourth and final release in a series of feature length futurama movies. Since the only people who will read this will be fans of the show there's no need for me to go into details about it for anyone who isn't.And despite the fact that some seem to have been disappointed with the quality of the first three you'll doubtless have brought them and will buy this anyway, so you'll know that it's four episodes of twenty two minutes duration edited together into one long movie.In this one fry gains the ability to read minds and falls in with a secret sect. Amy's parents wreak ecological havoc in the quest to build bigger and better casinos and golf courses, and leela takes affirmative action to protect the environment.But somewhere out there, an ancient evil is lurking...This didn't sound the strongest plot but in many ways it's the best written of the four. things click in the second episode and it all comes together very well afterwards.But even so there's the usual quickfire humour and pretty much every joke works so there's enough to keep you entertained in the meantime.Since this is the last of this batch and there's no guarantee that there will be any more, the ending has to wrap things up and also leave it open for the show to return if possible. And it manages to do just that in a scene that will make you gasp and leave you desperate for more. And you'll be so absorbed in your reaction that you won't initially notice that kif's uniform changes colour for no apparent reason.This will make you laugh, it will make you smile, and it will make you desperate for more. Please come back futurama. I miss you already.The sole language track on the dvd is english.and the subtitles are english danish finnish norwegian and swedish.the extras are:a commentary from some of the cast and crewstoryboard animatic: the first of the four episodes in rough drawing form, with all the dialogue but no music. This actually has a to be continued moment at the end which you wont see in the movie by virtue of it being edited together.docudrama: how we make futurama so good: a short and totally made up spoof documentary [presented by 'dvd bonus features that nobody watches productions'] showing you how they make the show. not really. but it's very funny.louder louder!: a very short feature showing magician penn jillette who guests in this recording his part. quite fun to watch.golden stinkers: five very short deleted scenes that can be watched individually or all at once. they only add up to roughly six minutes in total, and some don't have finished animation but they're all very good.matt groening and david x cohen in space!: a short film showing how two of the production crew took a flight on a plane that lets you experience zero gravity. well worth watching and it will make you fancy doing it yourself.how to draw futurama in 18 very difficult steps: eleven minutes worth of film showing how the animators draw four of the characters. not much humour in this despite a few efforts so it's really only of interest to those who want to learn the art.3-d models with animator discussion: just what it says. short film of spaceships and other big things from this showing how they were animated. short enough to keep the interest.benders movie theatre etiquette is a fun little bit of all new film showing how you should/shouldnt behave in the cinema. well worth a look.zapp brannigan's guide to making love to a woman uses clips of zapp from old episodes with a new voiceover to give his guide to relationships. not quite as funny as the above bender item but still worth watching.I managed to find two easter eggs on the dvd:watching it on a computer and moving the pointer over the right of the special features screen when you have it at the point where you can select to watch louder louder! will light up a symbol. click on this to see film of actor billy zane improvising some dialogue that was forced on the production team by circumstance.and if you move the down button on the controls when on the special features screen as far down as it will go you can get to see a short bit of animation drawn by one of the animators on rather rough paper. you'll see what I mean.Hopefully not the end for the show, but a good release to go out on

I am not sure if I own all the futurama movie but I own 3 plus this one, and for me, this one is the best of them all, I really loved the story line for one thing, it was making sens and so on, and I thought that we were looking at a Bender that we have not seen before, and don't worry I will not give out anything on the movie to upset anyone that want to purchase it but call me optimistic or what but the way the movie ended , I took it as it was opening the door for not only a new movie but a totaly new Futurama serie, with a totaly different setting and place , but that is only the way I have kind of see the ending, I am sure that everyone could have a different opinion . but I thought it was a great one.
