'Into The Wild Green Yonder' is the 4th movie in the very popular Futurama movie series.Just like the television show and the first 3 movies, 'Into the Wild Green Yonder' is filled with lots of crude and suggestive humor.Most of it is funny, as you'd expect.The movie is also surprisingly sexist.The main targets in the movie are woman.Not just woman, but feminists.If you were a feminist trying to struggle for the right to vote, then you will be shocked and appalled by this movie.Just try not to overreact and form a feminist group in order to cancel the TV show and find every copy of this movie and burn them.As entertaining this movie may be, it does lack the certain spark the first 3 movies had.My favorite movie in the series is 'Bender's Game', and this film isn't near to being as good.Still, I found 'Into the 'Wild Green Yonder' to be a funny and entertaining movie that fans of the show and movies will enjoy.If you don't like the show, then you can bite my shiny metal ass.

This is the fourth film, and questionably the last (at least at present) time to see the characters from Matt Groening's second most (if not more) popular show Futurama. Basically the parents of Amy Wong (Lauren Tom) are planning to destroy old Mars Vegas and make a more extravagant, which is not going down well with Eco-feminist protesters. In the protesting, Fry (Billy West) has a piece of jewellery belonging to feminist leader Frida Waterfall (Phil Hendrie) accidentally lodged in his brain, making him able to hear people's thoughts. It also means many other mind readers want him to help save the world from potential destruction from the "Dark Ones", and it has some significance to Mr. Wong wanting to create a big planetary version of mini golf. Meanwhile Leela (Katey Sagal),along with many other female characters join the feminists to protest the damage being done to mother nature, turning into a near war getting the President, Richard Nixon's Head (also West) and Zapp Branigan (West again) involved, with Bender (John Di Maggio) eventually joining them. All the boys, Prof. Farnsworth (West again),Dr. Zoidberg (West again) and Hermes Conrad (Phil LaMarr) are also joining in the battle, which in the end sees a nasty blood-sucking leech Leela cares for being the "Dark One", a violet dwarf system creating a giant sperm flying into a star, creating an Encyclopod embryo which houses all of Earth's extinct creatures, and incinerates the "Dark One", and then leaves. The film ends with the Planet Express being chased by Zapp, and instead of surrendering, they are deciding whether or not to go into a wormhole ahead of them, this is when Fry and Leela finally say they love each other, and they do go in. This is where the question lies, will they be back? Also starring David Herman as The Number 9 Man, Dawnn Lewis as LaBarbara Conrad, Snoop Dogg, Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane as Mars Vegas Singer and Penn Jillette (partner Teller isn't voicing, but he is credited). There are some alright gags, and there are one or two interesting moments, and of course there is that ending, but if it is the last one, it's not a brilliant one, but worth watching. The TV series was number 26 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Good!

While I enjoyed this, and the other three films, I think 'Futurama' is better suited to the half hour format; while it didn't drag it the plot did feel a bit stretched and an early sub-plot felt as if it was there to pad out the main story.

The main story covers Leo Wong's attempt to built the galaxy's largest miniature golf course which will involve the destruction of several planets and the extinction of several species. A group of feminist eco-warriors led by Freda Waterfall are protesting against this in a fairly peaceful way. When Leela joins their ranks they become more militant and President Nixon calls in Zapp Brannigan to hunt them down. After an accident Fry finds that he is able to read people's thoughts, this leads to him being kidnapped by a group who explain that he is the last hope for thousands of extinct species, to do this he must protect a star which is due to be destroyed to make way for the eighteenth hole in the new golf course. Fry is the only one who can do this because only he has a mind that can't be read by 'The Dark One', a creature determined to see star destroyed. This means he can't tell Leela that he is on her side.

I laughed several times and was never bored but I do wish things had been better explained; why did getting Freda's feminist symbol embedded in his head cause Fry to be able to read minds and why were the only people protesting a small group of feminists when the issue was about conservation not gender politics? I enjoyed the early sub-plot involving Bender and Don Bots wife but felt it would have been better suited to being an episode plot rather than featuring in a film. The animation and voice acting was good and easily up to the standards of the episodes.
