'Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder' (Blu-ray)

10 June 2009 4:04 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

To coincide with the good news from Fox that new episodes of Futurama are coming, we review the Blu-ray release of what once looked like the series finale, Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder.

In some respects Futurama could be considered the poor cousin of The Simpsons. Both shows were created by Matt Groening and both share the same style of animation and satirical humour. Yet, Futurama has not enjoyed the same widespread popularity as its Fox stablemate. Whereas The Simpsons (no relation) has been running for 20 seasons on that network, Futurama lasted only four (a fifth aired but was comprised of episodes that had not been shown in previous years).

Despite that relatively short run, Futurama attracted a dedicated following. This prompted the Cartoon Network, and later Comedy Central, to pick up the show for syndication. The viewing figures convinced the latter to commit to sixteen new episodes that »

[DVD Review] Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder

2 March 2009 10:29 PM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder brings the Futurama series back from the lesser performances of the second and third direct to DVD releases. When I slid the Blu-ray into my PS3 about five different thoughts flitted through my head: please be great, please be really great, please be great, please be funny, please be great. I wasn't being all that creative at the time as my mind's obsession with a suitable ending(?) to the Futurama series had been plaguing my thoughts since the third Futurama movie failed to impress. Bender's Game took stale jokes and put them into the Futurama universe. I recognized the necessity to pay lip service to a genre of nerdery that had been neglected thus far in the Futurama movies - but it had gone too far on too little material. Into the Wild Green Yonder makes no such mistake.

Blu-Ray Round Up, Feb. 26, 2009: ‘Futurama,’ ‘Ronin,’ ‘Vanishing Point’

26 February 2009 1:55 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – Still trying to get over an Oscar hangover? There’s no better way to deflate the pomposity of awards season than with a wicked car chase. Of course, one of the best of all time hit Blu-Ray this week in the controversial Blu-Ray release of “The French Connection,” but the same studio also released another pair of movies dedicated to automobile aficionados and an animated sci-fi comedy when all the metal destruction gets too much to take.

Two of the best car movies of all time - 1971’s “Vanishing Point” and 1998’s “Ronin” - hit Blu-Ray for the first time this week and the final “Futurama” movie, “Into the Wild Green Yonder” also hit the format. All three of these titles were released on February 24th, 2009.

DVD: Review: Futurama: Into The Wild Green Yonder

24 February 2009 10:00 PM, PST | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »

Expectations were perhaps unrealistically high when Fox resurrected the beloved geek favorite Futurama for the home-video market, but they’ve shrunk with each successive direct-to-dvd effort. The movies are far from embarrassing—the best of the lot, The Beast With A Billion Backs,is terrific—but after the series rose from the dead, “good” just isn’t good enough for diehard cultists. As the last of four proposed Futurama movies, Into The Wild Green Yonder could very well mark the end of the series’ animated life, so those same fans probably expect more from it than a few laughs and ... »

Rt on DVD: Final Futurama Flick, Pirates II, and Akira on Blu-ray

23 February 2009 9:04 AM, PST | Rotten Tomatoes | See recent Rotten Tomatoes news »

This week we recommend the fourth and final Futurama movie (Into the Wild Green Yonder), but only for diehard Planet Express devotees; otherwise, your new release options are rotten (Sex Drive, The Haunting of Molly Hartley). Horror fans, however, have something new to cheer about (Wes Craven's original Last House on the Left Collector's Edition, Dario Argento's Four Flies on Grey Velvet), as do those with more esoteric tastes (Noah Wyle as The Librarian in Curse of the Judas Chalice and Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge). Blu-ray viewers have the best choices of the week, with new remasterings to devour (Akira,... »
