Editorial Review:

Description:
The thrilling conclusion to Futurama: Benders Big Score.

Bender and the planet express crew must contend with a massive cosmic team that sends the world into panic.

Amazon.com:
In Futurama's latest and most tentacle-packed epic, space itself rips open, revealing a gateway to another universe. But what lies beyond? Horror? Love? Or maybe both, if it happens to contain a repulsive, planet-sized monster with romantic intentions! Nothing less than the fate of human and robot-kind is at stake as the Futurama crew takes on The Beast with a Billion Backs.

The Beast with a Billion Backs will be presented in widescreen format with English Dolby Surround 5.1, along with French and Spanish subtitles. Bonus features include:

The second of four direct-to-DVD adventures featuring the Futurama crew, The Beast with a Billion Backs picks up where its predecessor, Bender's Big Score, left off while balancing multiple love stories and the arrival of a sexually voracious alien from another universe. Unlike Bender, the various story lines converge well here--the tentacled, Lovecraftian creature Yivo (voiced by David Cross), which wants to mate with the entire population of the universe at once, makes Fry (Billy West) its de facto leader (Pope, actually), which in turn plays havoc with his relationship with new girlfriend Colleen (Brittany Murphy). And Yivo's scheme causes the people of Earth to evacuate the planet, leaving it in the hands of robots--which is, of course, excellent news for Futurama's resident mechanical malcontent, Bender (John DiMaggio). Beast is probably best understood and enjoyed by longtime fans of the series, who will recognize and appreciate the countless "surprise guests" (Robot Satan, the Harlem Globetrotters, Bender's hero Calculon, the head of Stephen Hawking), though the feature is certainly well-written and performed by its voice cast, and should provide plenty laughs for first-timers with flexible attention spans. Parents, however, should note that the humor can be fairly suggestive at times, and should exercise caution in regard to younger viewers.

Extras include a very funny commentary track with creators Matt Groening and David X Cohen, stars West, DiMaggio and Maurice LaMarche, and key members of the production team. Deleted scenes and a making-of featurette with the voice cast are entertaining, but the real features of value are Futurama: The Lost Adventure, which is culled from the Futurama game for Playstation 2, as well as a lengthy preview of the next direct-to-DVD movie, Bender's Game. Suffice it to say that the Lord of the Rings weighs heavily on the storyline. -- Paul Gaita

Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Barely a 5 star rating. Still excellent.
I debated with myself as to if I should give this a 5 or 4 star rating. However, my deep appreciation that they are releasing movies after such a long drought makes me recommend it. My complaint is that it as not as funny as the TV episodes or even the first movie. Still, it is funny and I do love the characters.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - All three movies
I have casually watched the series in the past. Recently, I casually watched a few reruns and started really getting into Futurama. I saw some of Bender's Big Score on TV and then watched the whole movie on DVD.

Of the three, I loved BBS the best. There were a lot of funny jokes and I love how they complexly interwove time travel into the movie. When you watch with the commentary on, you learn of all the thought that went behind this movie (e.g. numbers in the background, how they came up with equations, etc.) which they didn't do in the subsequent two movies. Couldn't watch the whole Hypnotoad episode. Zzzzzz. 5 stars.

The Beast of a Billion Backs was an interesting story but I personally didn't think it was that funny. 3 and half stars = 4 for the story, 3 for the (lack of) laughs.

Bender's Game was funnier than BBB but I'm not crazy about parodies because if you've missed the parodied movie.... In this case, it was the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy. 4 stars.

Still, I am great fan and will purchase the 4 season episodes.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not Great, But Not Awful...
I'm a Futurama fan of a few years... watching the series got me more interested in learning about quirky quantum physics, and other oddities that made the show a gem in the world of animation.
Loved Bender's Big Score... it hearkened back in a small way to season 4, with the exploration of the Fry/Leela relationship. And I like a little drama combined with satire and comedy (and insane characters). Adds depth to the characters, and the show, in my opinion.
That said, I didn't like BWAMB nearly as much as BBBS. It destroyed all the emotional buildup of the end of the original series and the first movie. That threw me off my game in a big way. Also, I would have liked more of the witty zingers and quotables I grew accustomed to with the show.
And I know a lot of people complain about the giant tentacled Yivo. If any of you ever watched a few genuine 1950's B movies, you'd understand why Yivo is there. The DVD cover also makes more sense when you connect BWAMB to movies like The Crawling Eye, and other wacked out sci fi movies of the late 50's. I do admire the Futurama crew for what they attempted here, in lampooning the B movie genre. Sadly, it doesn't measure up to their standards established by the show. Nor does it go far enough in its satire of b movies.
I hope Bender's Game will be an improvement. I REALLY hope Into The Wild Green Yonder surpasses even that. I've grown rather attached to all the characters, and hope Fry and Leela end up together, and end the movie series (and possibly the entire series) on a happy note. Is real closure too much to ask for?


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - ambivalent
nothing smart or funny about this one. very disappointing for a futurama fan. i'll forget this one exists..


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Futurama: The Beast I Should Not Have Purchased
Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs A disappointing DVD. Not up to the standard set by Bender's Big Score or the TV series. A few good lines, but weak & sappy plot. Bought for my daughter--two weeks later it's on TV. Even the October stock market would have been a better place to put the money I spent on this DVD.
