Good news, everybody. Futurama came back and in a big way. I was very happy to hear that Matt Groenig was making four Futurama movies and if this is the quality we can expect like we recieved from the first one, I can't wait to see the other three. This is much better than most of the other television cartoons that were made into movies as this movie seemed much more clever and fun to watch. It has an excellent story and it didn't overdo bringing back all the old characters through out the series. It brought out just enough of the supporting characters for this to be enjoyable and not like a parade. There was even enough drama to really care about the characters involved with the situations. And towards the end there was quite a twist that I did not expect and I'm glad they revealed their hand with it, because it made me wonder where they were going with certain parts of the story and when the twist was revealed, it tied up everything just nicely. At times this movie seemed to drag on a bit and the pacing wasn't the best, but I sure was glad to see this movie made and much happier to see how well it was. Good movie, well worth the time to watch it.
