TV Review – Futurama (Season 5) – 3.5 Stars
I’d thought that Futurama was all over after season four, but with season five released as four direct-to-DVD movies, Futurama was back to round out the story. It’s not all good news, though. Obviously not used to the movie format, the middle two films become drawn out and lack that ‘bite’ that we love about Futurama. But as far as classic Futurama goes, the first and final films (‘Bender’s Big Score’ and ‘Into the Wild Green Yonder’, respectively) really nailed it. By the end, there’s enough left open to keep your imagination running, and enough closure to satisfy.
