The First Review For FUTURAMA: BENDER'S GAME Shows Up Online!!


Merrick here...

Screen Jabber, who nabbed the first review of FUTURAMA: THE BEAST WITH A BILLION BACKS in May (HERE), has done it again by posting this first (to the best of my knowledge) review of the forthcoming FUTURAMA: BENDER'S GAME (another "movie"-to-be-divided-into-multiple episodes thingie). The article also includes some images from the DVD.

Interestingly, the spoiler heavy review says BENDER'S GAME feels more whole & less like a bunch of episodes strung together than the previous DVDs (yeah!). As a whole, the write-up is quite positive.

Yeah yeah, it all sounds a little crazy and confusing. Actually, a lot crazy and confusing. Especially when they throw in Star Wars references, Star Trek references, a demolition derby with spaceships made from Lego and a cave full of scary Morks. But don't worry, it all makes sense in the end. And there are plenty of laughs while getting there, too. There's a little bit of a sag in the middle — there are a lot of plot threads that need to be juggled — but by the time they get to the fantasy world, the writers are firing on all cylinders. Bender's Game seems a lot less like four episodes joined together than the first two DVDs did. And there are so many more clever touches, sight gags and one-liners in this one.

...says the piece, which you can find HERE.

FUTURAMA: BENDER'S GAME will release on November 4 on both standard DVD and Blu-Ray. This will be the first FUTURAMA title released on Blu-Ray (HERE) and, hopefully, portends more FUTURAMA BR releases (like the series, maybe?) somewhere down the line.
