Title: A worthy finale, but not top-tier Futurama
Product review: I have now watched three of the four "feature length" Futurama discs, and while I enjoyed them all, I felt that each suffers from the requirements of having to stretch out a storyline to 88 minutes, and/or to stitch together several stories to fill the time. The series episodes were always about the little things -- sly cultural references (often glimpsed only briefly in the background), snappy one-liners, and character tics. Plot lines were usually only secondary. That's OK for 22-23 minutes, but a movie-length production requires a more coherent story line and continuity. "Wild Green Yonder" feels like four TV episodes strung together, and the result is less than the sum of the parts. As I said, I enjoyed this effort, and I'd recommend it to other Futurama fans, but it's not the best of series.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
