Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder (2009)

Like other Futurama offerings that run 90 minutes or so, Into the Wild Green Yonder is basically three half-hour episodes played back-to-back. (You even have the opening and closing credits and commercial breaks all in place.) It's a very good feature-length show with a storyline that feels overall like Futurama should feel. (I like it better than The Beast with a Billion Backs.) Our story opens as a green bubble or shock wave expands its way across the universe, affecting star and planet systems as well as Fry's brain. Fry resists his newfound mind-reading abilities but tries to win a poker championship after Amy's obnoxiously rich parents decide to terraform 12% of the Milky Way galaxy to build a giant miniature golf course. Bender and a mysterious nemesis are also secretly in collusion to destroy the universe. A number of mild twists at the end make for a satisfying Futurama feature-length "movie" in three parts. Enjoy! 4 stars.
