FUTURAMA: BENDER'S BIG SCORE (DVD Review) - 25/11/07

So welcome back Futurama in the first of four feature-length movies with "Bender's Big Score" and it's like they have never been away! 20th. Century Fox ( Or should I say 'Box'?) have the piss ripped out of them royally over their moronic decision to cancel the series in the first place. Eh? Executives in suits that really don't have a clue??? We have an excellent package here starting with a hologram cover of Bender on the slip-out cardboard case and the fold-out has various scenes from the film on it. We have the tale of the Planet Express crew fighting off nudist alien scammers with a pastiche of the gamut of sci-fi films from Star Wars to the Terminator in between the laughs in this time travel saga. The general cynicism is still there with the gross-out humour intact and a nice package of extras. With the 5.1. Dolby Audio, Captioned and Subtitled in English, Spanish & French with a Widescreen Ratio of 1.78:1 running at 89 minutes in colour it's great that Futurama is at last back! This is the Region 1 (USA) NTSC version 2007. SPECIAL FEATURES: Commentary, a live Comic Book reading by the cast of Futurama, a full-length episode of Hypnotoad (Tedious!) With Deleted Storyboard Scenes, an Animated Promo from Al Gore, first draft of the Original Script plus 3D Models/Turnarounds with New Character/Design Sketches and more. With the other 3 films coming in 2008 - I say hurry up!
