After learning this morning that the region 2 release of the new Futurama DVD movie was indefinite, yadda yadda, you know the rest.
This was brilliant. I can't understand why i'm not seeing rave reviews. That said, I tend to be easily pleased, and don't consider this a bad thing - just means I see more good in everything.
Futurama starved for several years I would have been happy with just about anything, but this seemed very well put together. I've seen others say that past characters were over-used. I felt that only perhaps on Santa's second appearance, but it didn't upset me!
I'm a sucker for anything involving paradoxy time travel, and perhaps that's why I liked this so much. I'm not saying it's better than all past episodes, and I do think they might have trouble as TV episodes. The story is very complicated in places and I don't think anything shown on Comedy Central is going to make sense to a dip-in dip-out viewer. WHO CARES? Not me.
One statement - anybody surprised by the "reveal" in the last five minutes probably doesn't appreciate the show. I really hope the writing/drawing was intentionally such that it was clear throughout.
One question. Can I really deepen my voice by inhaling smoke? I've always though my voice was too high..
