After it’s untimely cancellation amazingly Futurama has returned from cancellation and started with a joke about the network idiots that cancelled the show. And it is back in all of it’s glory. This is a movie that will be broken down into 4 episodes fro the cartoon network, but this is it in all it’s full length glory. This is amazing, it is as good as the show ever was, and I hope it goes more than just these 4 movies, because this show rocks! Futurama is funnier than the Simpsons ever was, so much more over the top, and so much more in your face. I love Bender, Fry and Leela, Amy, Hermes, and The Proffesor. WHY OH WHY WAS THIS SHOW EVER CANCELLED, BUT THEN FOX CANCELLED FIREFOX AS WELL.

The gang returns, Phillip K. Fry (Billy West), Bender (John Di Maggio), Leela (Katey Sagal), Amy Wong (Lauren Tom), Hermes Conrad (Phil LaMarr) and Professor Farnsworth (again Billy West), and this time they head to a nudist planet, where they all fall for some scammers and give out their e-mail addresses, and then get caught in Spam and Phishing Scams. And not only that but Hermes has an accident, and loses his body, it will be fixed, but for a while he will have to live in a jar from the museum, and her wife quickly goes back to her first husband, and Leela meets the technician Lars Fillmore a bald guy with a deep voice, and they quickly hit it off. Meanwhile they have lost all their stuff to spammers without Hermes to stop them, and professor loses the business, and Bender takes a spam that makes him under the Spammers control. The Spammers move in and smell knowledge coming from Fry’s ass. On it is a bender tattoo with the machine code that allows someone to travel back in time, so they use Bender to go back in time and steal things for them, until they have stolen all the wealth of Earth, and even Leela’s pet Nibbler (who is actually an advanced race) can’t get them to stop. They do realize that the copies of themselves made by the time travel are doomed to die though.

REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS….

Once the scammers have stolen everything of value from human history, they decide to destroy the code by killing Fry and blanking Bender’s memory, but fry uses a mirror and the code to travel back to when he left in 2000, but they send Bender to kill him. Bender creates a duplicate so he can use the bathroom. The duplicate catches Fry, but overloads, so Fry stuffs him in a cryo tube before he can explosde. Fry leaves, and the original Bender returns and spends next 12 years trying to find him, and eventually blowing him and Panucci’s Pizza up, before returning to the future. The scammers then wipe the code and the virus from Bender. At Fry’s funeral, Fry shows up and is alive. He also created a duplicate of himself, which Bender killed, and Nibbler destroys the tattoo to keep it from the scammers.

Leela and Lars are getting along great and decide to get married. Fry wants to try and stop it, but it is when Hermes duplicate body is killed, and Lars learns that time duplicates are doomed, that he calls off the wedding, crushing Leela.

The scammers trick President Nixon to sell the Earth, and everyone must evacuate. The crew ends up on Neptune, where Leela organizes an attack force with Robot Santa, Quanza Bot and Chanukah Zombie, though Zap Branagan (Also Billy West) shows up and almost screws things up, but Leela takes over in time. The Scammers have built a fleet of gold Death Stars, but they plug Hermes and his bureaucratic mind into the fleet and he manages to win easily. The scammers then try to use the doom’s day device they got Bender to steal from the Professor, but he tricks them and double crosses them and uses it on them.

Leela trys to get back with Lars, but Nudar, the lead scammer shows up with a doomsday decice proof vest, and he attacks Lars because he smells the time code on his ass, meaning Lars if Fry. Lars gets the Bender from the time capsule out, and kills himself and the Spammer with him.

At Lars funeral he gives a message and tells his story of how the copy Fry became Lars, how he took care of a Narwhale and learned that he just wanted the one he loved to be happy, and how Bender didn’t kill him, but burnt off his hair and burnt his larynx, so he travelled forward in time because he realized he was Lars, so he could Marr Leela.

Bender removes the Tattoo and travels back in time to put it on Fry’s ass in the first place, but he brings all the copies of himself and causes a giant tear in the universe that destroys it.
