So the Futurama movie came out yesterday and of course, I already own a copy.
The first thing that struck me was the animation. The quality of it had me wondering if it was just my TV or if it was a bad render. Everything else looked fine, but the movie itself looked... poorly encoded.
The plot moved quickly, a little too fast to allow proper comedic timing on jokes. As with the TV show the plot itself was of little consequence. It was funny enough, predictable as all hell, though. Overall, I see good things ahead for the new season.
Almost all the voice actors have changed the voices of the characters. Just a little bit, barely noticeable if you're not a crazy futurama fan.
The extras had a couple of good points of interest, such as commentary by Al Gore. It also included a math lecture by the math consultant, a professor from ASU. I recognize her name, Sarah Greenwalt, and her appearance, but that could be from seeing her in the hall, since I pretty much lived in Walker. I don't think I know her. If I did, I'd totally get her to introduce me to Billy West. Also on the extras is an entire episode of Hypnotoad, which I watched even though I was sure it was going to be hypnotoad just staring at the screen for 23 minutes (and it was, though Morbo does a plug for the hypnotoad dvd box set during the commercial break).
It's worth a purchase, not quite all I was hoping for, but it could have been much much worse.
