Futurama really is such a "Meh" show and their attempt at revitalizing it with wall to wall feature movies really did it no favors in my eyes.
In a generic plot featuring all your usual favorites this essentially feature length episode alike the others has it's moments and there are laughs to be had but considerably too few. The plot is instantly forgettable and reminds me again why I never really gave the television show the time of day.
It's not that it's bad, it's just distinctly mediocre. It's like The Simpsons, but without the overwhelming charm and fantastic characters.
If you like Futurama you'll likely enjoy this, otherwise hop skip and jump over it.
The Good:
There are a few laughs to be had
The Bad:
Not as funny as it should be
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Tin foil hats are a growth industry
Kansas is unfamiliar with evolution
You can't sue the military
Feminism angle wasn't satire, it really does seem to have gone that way
