Futurama Movies Collection

All four of the Futurama full-length movies for a reduced price. How can you NOT love that!The movies themselves are a bit slow to get going in action and laughs, but the plots are more sweeping and the payoff at the end better than a regular episode. "Into the Wild Blue Yonder" is really required for series continuity, as it feeds directly into the first season five episode, "Rebirth," but all of the other movies add to the genre as well.If you're a D&D or Tolkien geek (like me) "Bender's Game" is a real treat to watch. "The Beast with a Billion Backs" is pretty funny, but "Bender's Big Score" is awesome! It really ties nearly EVERYTHING in the Futurama universe together in one film, and I think really sets Leela and Fry up as a couple. (I won't spoil how or why.)The extras on the DVD's are pretty good; nothing earth shaking though.I've seen complaints about the cardboard packaging on here, but that's standard for even the seasonal releases. The DVDs I received had no scratches or defects on them, and since I transfer all of my DVDs into large multi-DVD holders, storage in the flimsier cardboard container is not an issue.Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this set for the avid Futurama fan. If you're not a huge fan of the show, you might actually like these movies more, as the way they're put together is different from the series, and they tend to be more long-term engaging.

Good News ! FUTURama fans. this is the way to get the present 4 movies. they are all in their own cardboard cases and covers. also included are Extras. they are full length movies. all different story lines. not TV rewrites. I'm not giving spoilers. oh I don't like bender much. Leela Leela Leela !

I love all 4 of these movies! I had watched them already before hand... and well I decided I needed to own them cause they are really funny!If you loved the Show you will like the movies :)As for seller side, the movie cases and Discs were in great shape and was shipped very nice, thank ya!

awesome movies. showed up quickly.

I've loved FUTURAMA since it first came out on TV. These "movie-length" versions take some getting used to. At first I didn't like them all that much. But on second (and third, and fourth...) viewing, I am liking them a LOT more. These episodes are pretty "thick." Story lines aren't resolved in 23 minutes like in the old days. Stick with it though: persistence pays off. Considered as a whole, these movies are GOOD moving towards GEAT.

Too bad it was cancelled again. The finale almost gave me tears. I have collected all episodes and will watch them again some years later...

Just a warning to those who make the assumption that the "Futurama Movies Collection" is a boxed collection of the four Futurama movies. In fact the collection is simply four individual DVDs within their individual cases that are sold together by Amazon as a single package. It is no different from purchasing them separately.However, please note that there is a price advantage. At the time of writing (April 2009), the collection costs $72, while purchasing them individually would cost $90.

Futurama is one of my favorite animated series of all time. After being canceled from television the creators have made four full length feature films. All four of them are as hilarious as the tv series. I love it!

If ordered with the complete collection of Futurama (Seasons 1-8) you have all the episodes of Futurama as this collection counts as Season 5 if you check Wikipedia, 4 DVDS yes but the 4 feature length works were broken down into 16 episodes on TV, 4 episodes each so totalled with the 124 episodes on the complete seasons 1-8 collection you'd have all 140 episodes. Good price & came pristine, thankyou!

The DVDs arrived well packaged. As described there was minor cosmetic damage to to the outer cardboard sleeve, the disks themselves appear to be near perfect condition. Very happy. Thank you.

The Epics are not quite as good as the episodes. It feels like they couldn't find enough jokes and material to quite fit into 90 minutes, and 30 minutes feels more natural to this genre. But that aside these are far from poor. If you enjoy the series you will enjoy these, but maybe nor quite as much.

I saw three of these movies on TV over Xmas, I wasn't a Futurama fan before this but I am now. These are excellent, well written and very funny with a brutal wit. Benders Big Score is the best but "The Beast with a Billion Backs" and "Into the Wild Green Yonder" run it close, really imaginative stories that don't let up for the duration and definitely not padded TV episodes.So I brought the box set so I could see the one I missed, "Benders Game" and that's the only one I don't like. LOL! Maybe I'll get used to it but it's well worth having for the others.

For the devotees such as myself, Futurama is just brilliant and having a collected set is great. So very funny, but heart-warming at the same time in a very odd way.I just wish that these "collected epics" were just part of the full set of series 1-8.
