Recently, we have seen several full-length features from our favorite TV-series. Family Guy, the movie. Simpsons, the movie.
One thing both of these lacked were going back and not only recalling, but intertwining our favorite side-characters into the plot.
Futurama does this beautifully and we see not only commonly featured side-characters, but characters that hard-core fans will rejoice to see, and I _wont_ give any examples here, because every element of surprise in this movie is what makes it worth watching.
I want to stress that I was very critical to the idea of a movie after such a long pause, and I was a die-hard fan. I signed the online petition all of those years ago when it got canceled (rumor has it all those signatures got printed and transported to box the CEO of FOX into his office, but thats only a rumor as far as I know). Having said this, I want to ensure everyone that even if you go into the movie with high expectations - they will be exceeded.
The plot may seem tangled, but the writers don't leave anything out. Nothing is "forgotten", like in Lost.
If you watched the TV-series, you will love this. If you didn't - tough luck (but you will probably wind up loving it anyway). Its literally a celebration of all of the five seasons aired on television, and its impressive that they did this without repeating anything.
All of the old themes are brought back - its like the show never went off the air. You will straight off the bat be able to re-identify with characters and feel the same way about the show you did all of those years ago.
I haven't seen a story tied up like this in years. The ending is _beautiful_.
This is for the fans.
