Will the crew be able to save the day, or will Bender's larcenous tendencies and their general incompetence doom them all?

Part of

Futurama Collection

When Fox commissioned a new series of Futurama episodes after Futurama's initial cancellation, it was decided that four feature-length episodes would be produced, and this is the result. In general, the plots are slower to develop and more sweeping in scope than the plot of a typical Futurama episode.

Probably the strongest of the Futurama films. Is a pretty neat self-contained story, but works best as a part of the whole, offering some solace to long-time fans. Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.
