At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

(WARNING CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS) Overall i think that ITWGY was a great way to end the futurama series, many plot points are wrapped up , but there is the possibility of a continuation. The series has always been able to mix seriousness and comedy quite well. Like wise the move combines great comic moments(SPOILER such as the vice president dying, Leela's run from the law, Fry's psychic power, and the feminist revolt tactics) with more dramatic moments(Leela and Fry's relationship finally being resolved). I think that the way fry and Leela banded together at the end along with the rest of the cast to start a new adventure was a great way to end the movie, and quite possibly the whole series.The ending was very well formulated and sweet, but without being to corny or melodramatic. However i do feel as though the movie was flawed in some areas; for one it seems as if nobody was quite sure how to use bender in this film, he has several subplots(the majority of which lead nowhere), however he does play an important role in the end of the movie. I personally did not mind bender being in this movie less(it felt as though he took over the end of the series and many of the movies, but they at least could 've written his plot more legibly.Furthermore cubert and Hermes son are nowhere to be seen, and appear to be abandoned at the end, however their characters never really did much so again its not a big deal. Lastly i feel that the overall moral of the story (protect the environment, otherwise we may become and endangered species)while important came across as very preachy and non subtle in some portions. However i feel as though the movie managed to mix comedy, drama, romance, and a bit of social commentary quite well together in what appears to be their send off. 8 out of 10

The fourth (and, at time of writing, final) Futurama movie is the one that cements the standard for the collection of DVD's by making a majority of the four. Having enjoyed Bender's Game more than the other two films, I was hoping that the third film had been a turn away from the lesser first two. Instead though Wild Green Yonder is more like the first two films in that it is not funny enough to last 90 minutes and suffers from a total overdose of plot.Now I'm not suggesting that the third film was brilliant, but just that it seemed to keep all the characters in the same plot thread and also helped itself immensely by being consistently funny so I was likely to be thinking about the problems it had (and it did). Wild Green Yonder does not do this. First and foremost is the problem that, while it has good laughs, there is not enough funny material to spread across 90 minutes. With Futurama the plots have always been a bit secondary and the episodes worked off quick-fire comedy and asides. 90 minutes means you have to have a plot and cannot easily rely on quick-fire comedy as easily unless you really get it right (a reason why I worry about the Arrested Development movie). This film doesn't have enough comedy in it to keep the viewer laughing to the point where it is the film's "all".The writers have tried to do the plot in such a way to create lots of smaller situations though, seemingly in order to allow for lots of gags and jokes. The problem is that, without the laughter to cover this, it leaves the plot fragmented and really messy. As with the other films, the characters are split up across several different threads that kind-of all move in the same direction to the same place but just makes the film feel like a mess with no flow or motion. It is fun to see as many of the characters as we do but by ramming them all into the film it partially causes this in my opinion Bender's Game is the only one that makes this business work simply because it kept the characters more or less together in the various sections of the film. Here they are fragmented and it doesn't work as well.The look of the film is as good as the usual Futurama standard and I enjoyed the different things they did with the titles, credits etc. The voice work is also good and, when anyone in the main cast is given a good line or catchphrase they generally nail it with their delivery. The guest voices are more mixed with most good but some dialling it in. Overall Wild Green Yonder is a solid film that, like the others, will mostly please fans without being good enough to win over casual viewers. It is funny but not enough for the running time and the plot threads are messy, distracting and fragmenting. I still quite enjoyed it but it was only "OK" and not good enough to hide the problems even as I was watching it.

As the summary says: They must have saved the worst Futurama film for last. I finally got the DVD yesterday and man i was disappointed. The story of this particular futurama movie was more simple than the other futurama movies - but boring as hell.All the other Futurama movies had very complex stories with weird things going on all the time - and they were all entertaining and funny. This latest and fourth movie is just about weird things.The script is better structured than the previous movies. There are fewer plot-holes, BUT!!! it is a very boring story compared to all of the rest of the movies. The part about Leela joining the space-hippie-feminists were not funny. Nor were the tin foil hat stuff with Fry.Throughout the movie i just looked at the timer and said to my self: isn't this movie over yet! But it wasn't. It just did go on and on.Im sure that most Futurama-people at this point in Futuramas history had gone on to more interesting projects. Because the spirit of Futurama was gone in this last movie.All Futurama fans should of course watch it, but prepare to be disappointed.

To call this a "movie" is a misnomer. Its nothing more than an episode of Futurama stretched to what feels like hours. Don't get me wrong there were some funny bits, but the gags came to thin and slow to keep my attention. Marginally better than "The Beast With a Billion Backs" this, for a big Futurama fan, was a big let down.Though Bender's big score was a watchable piece the latest two movies were a bore. If they plan on making another Futurama movie they need a big re-think. The Southpark movie proved that converting Prime time "Adult" cartoon comedy shows in to full blown comedy movies can be done. The Simpsons movie and the last two Futurama movies proves how difficult this is.
