The fourth full-length adventure from Matt 'The Simpsons' Groening's animated sci-fi series. Pizza delivery boy from Earth, Philip Fry, who woke up in the year 3000 after accidentally freezing himself in 1999, continues his adventures delivering the goods for Planet Express. Accompanied, as usual, by the beautiful one-eyed mutant alien Leela, and Bender the robot, Fry sets out to save the universe from the bad guys who are threatening the future Green Age. (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment)

So, we have reached the end. Probably. I expected that the filmmakers would have an ace or two up their sleeves for the last movie. It's true they did but there just weren't as many as I expected. Bender, for example, wasn’t given much space while Fry stole the best parts. The Professor and Zoidberg I think only had honorary cameos, and Nibbler disappeared completely. I don't want to criticize it too much because I liked the movie (the ending was ingenious and I'm really happy with it), but I can't help feeling that it could have been better. And the final preferential ranking of the Futurama movies? The Beast with a Billion Backs, Bender's Big Score, Bender's Game, Into the Wild Green Yonder. Bender's iconic scene #4: Bender's execution in the desert. ()
The quality of the Futurama movies is dropping. Few jokes, an uninteresting and stupid feminist eco-plot, Wong as a villain is useless. And the opening credits didn't work this time either (they certainly don't match the "yellow submarine" from the previous film). ()
I really liked this episode, and it resonated with me a lot. It's entertaining, it's thoroughly offbeat, and once again, it addresses a lot of things, but it just works. Bender takes a bit of a backseat, but it's actually not a big deal because he usually delivers the best jokes from the sidelines. The combination of feminism and environmental protection here is truly fantastic. ()
