Good news everyone! Futurama has officially returned this week with its direct-to-DVD movie, which was released over in the US on Tuesday November 27th. Unfortunately, there is no release date set for the UK as of yet – which is annoying considering this is a monumental event and I am sure most, if not all, Futurama fans would agree: something this big should have been released globally, not just in the US.
The good news is, I’ve been reading a lot of good reviews on the film and thankfully it sounds like it’s way better than the Simpson’s movie which as I stated earlier here, seemed to tie things up a little to quickly towards the end. So far from what I’ve read it sounds like the Futurama movie doesn’t do that at all and actually has a very good, structured plot to go with it.
I have to say, Futurama is my favourite out of the two shows; and if the Futurama movie didn’t do so well, I think I would start to lose faith in Matt Groening. The Simpson’s is good, don’t get me wrong, I am just more of a sci-fi geek.
The only bad thing I’ve actually heard is that a lot of the humour is based on established themes and inside-jokes, so someone not familiar with the Futurama universe might not pick up on some of the jokes, but for me a Futurama addict, this doesn’t seem like a bad thing at all, as it will make it just that much more enjoyable.
