Studio description:
In Futurama's latest and most tentacle-packed epic, space itself rips open, revealing a gateway to another universe. But what lies beyond? Horror? Love? Or maybe both, if it happens to contain a repulsive, planet-sized monster with romantic intentions! Nothing less than the fate of human and robot-kind is at stake as the Futurama crew takes on The Beast with a Billion Backs.

The Beast with a Billion Backs will be presented in widescreen format with English Dolby Surround 5.1, along with French and Spanish subtitles. Bonus features include:

The second of four direct-to-DVD adventures featuring the Futurama crew, The Beast with a Billion Backs picks up where its predecessor, Bender's Big Score, left off while balancing multiple love stories and the arrival of a sexually voracious alien from another universe. Unlike Bender, the various story lines converge well here--the tentacled, Lovecraftian creature Yivo (voiced by David Cross), which wants to mate with the entire population of the universe at once, makes Fry (Billy West) its de facto leader (Pope, actually), which in turn plays havoc with his relationship with new girlfriend Colleen (Brittany Murphy). And Yivo's scheme causes the people of Earth to evacuate the planet, leaving it in the hands of robots--which is, of course, excellent news for Futurama's resident mechanical malcontent, Bender (John DiMaggio). Beast is probably best understood and enjoyed by longtime fans of the series, who will recognize and appreciate the countless "surprise guests" (Robot Satan, the Harlem Globetrotters, Bender's hero Calculon, the head of Stephen Hawking), though the feature is certainly well-written and performed by its voice cast, and should provide plenty laughs for first-timers with flexible attention spans. Parents, however, should note that the humor can be fairly suggestive at times, and should exercise caution in regard to younger viewers.

Extras include a very funny commentary track with creators Matt Groening and David X Cohen, stars West, DiMaggio and Maurice LaMarche, and key members of the production team. Deleted scenes and a making-of featurette with the voice cast are entertaining, but the real features of value are Futurama: The Lost Adventure, which is culled from the Futurama game for Playstation 2, as well as a lengthy preview of the next direct-to-DVD movie, Bender's Game. Suffice it to say that the Lord of the Rings weighs heavily on the storyline. -- Paul Gaita

- A good watch
I enjoyed it a lot and not JUST because it was a new Futurama episode/movie.

The humor here is sadly more similar to Family Guy and less subtle. Some of it works, some feels really out of place.

The characters seem to be very unlike themselves for the sake of plot. There are a few logical flaws as well. It comes off as overly rushed or edited in some ways.

Even with all these faults the movie is still very funny and enjoyable. I'd say buy it, not because it ... Read More

- Stop Ruining The Futurama Legacy
Sure, there are a few laughs and some nice bonus things here, but come on....we all know this is a very lazy effort from people who have no excuse to phone it in. Go and watch any single original episode, then watch this...it is so sad to see these highly mediocre titles using the Futurama name. There is some sharp writing and comical stuff here, but it's like the reunion tour of the once great band you loved that just isn't the same. If this/these movies were of different origin/source material, ... Read More

- Ok, not great
I loved the series but have not greatly enjoyed the two movies. This movie doesnt seem like a continuation of the first. The only connection is really the rip in space. I enjoy callback jokes to the series, however it feels like they are used too much in this film as a crutch. I have bought both films and still watch them, but not with as much joy as i watch the series. The next thing i say may be a spoiler so dont read on if you havent seen it. The on and off thing with Fry and Leela has gotten ... Read More

- Maybe The Idea Is To Make The 3rd Movie Look Better?
I liked the show (most of which I saw for the first time on DVD due to the vagaries of Fox and their scheduling it on Sundays "after" (i.e. usually during) the football) and was pretty taken with the first movie too. This one had me wishing they'd just get on with things and finish it already. The good material here could have been squashed into a single very funny TV episode. However, the feel is more that they had a much cleverer movie about 3 hours long and cut it down to 90 minutes by randomly ... Read More

- A huge disappointment
A waste of time. Not very funny, unimaginative, boring. It seems like the Futurama team is out of ideas.
