The universe has ripped open. Fry gets a girlfriend in Colleen. He moves in with her but finds out she has four other boyfriends. Amy and Kif get married in a Fonfon Rubok Ceremony. The Planet Express crew wins against Wernstrom's crew to go investigate the space rift. President Nixon ignores Wernstrom and Professor Farnsworth, and sends Zapp Brannigan to attack the space rift. Fry stowaways and crosses the rift to find a tentacled creature. The tentacles start controlling people with Fry as the Tentacle Pope. Meanwhile, Bender uncovers the League of Robots. This is a strange one for the fans. The central concept is an alien polyamorous relationship. It does meander from one story to the next but it does fit the weird Futurama world. It's always weird to have Fry date someone else. Zapp sleeping with Amy may even be weirder.

Having really enjoyed the series I put off watching the films for a while fearing that it would not work as well in the longer movie format, after watching "Bender's Big Score" I thought I may have been mistaken as I really enjoyed that. Perhaps that got my hopes up a bit too much but I was a little disappointed with this film; that is not to say it was a bad film, just not as good as I'd hoped.

While I thought the main story didn't really warrant the time spent on it there were plenty of individual events that made me laugh out loud, stand out moments for me were Amy turning up to a funeral in a dress that was bordering on indecent and the way Bender acquired an "army of the damned" off the Robot Devil. I also liked the scene where Fry discovers that his new girlfriend Colleen, voiced by the late Brittany Murphy, had several other boyfriends, being a prudish 20th Century man Fry wasn't too happy about sharing.

The main plot concerns a strange spacial rift which has appeared in space; the world's top scientists (Farnsworth and Wernstrom) argue about what it is and how it should be dealt with and Nixon sends Zapp to attack it. This attack leads to Fry meeting an unusual alien and Kif having a rather unfortunate accident. When Fry returns he is attached to a strange tentacle and is keen for everybody else in the universe to get a tentacle of there own.

Overall I think it was fairly enjoyable even if I don't think it was up the the high standards of the series.

This is the second straight-to-DVD film from Matt Groening's second most (if not more) popular show Futurama, continuing from where Bender's Big Score left off. Basically space is ripping (because you remember at the end, Bender (John Di Maggio) brought back hundreds of his copies),and no-one knows what is the other side of the hole wall. Fry (Billy West),who is having a little trouble finding real love with new girlfriend Colleen O'Hallahan (Brittany Murphy) is the one who goes through, after some bickering between Prof. Farnsworth (also West) and Dr. Wernstrom (David Herman). Meanwhile, Bender has a sudden high obsession for his favourite TV star Calculon (Maurice LaMarche),he decides to become his official stalker, and also becomes a member of the once fabled League of Robots, rebelling against humans. Fry finds a new love with the creature behind the hole wall, Yivo (Scary Movie 2's David Cross),who wants everyone to be loving to each other and him/her, and the only way to do this is have everyone with his many tentacles in the back of their necks, although later you find out their actually reproductive organs (yuck). Also starring Billy West as Dr. Zoidberg, Zapp Brannigan and Richard Nixon's Head, Katey Sagal as Leela, Tress MacNeille as Bender's First Born Son and Hattie McDoogal, Maurice LaMarche as Kif, Morbo and King Kong, Phil LaMarr as Hermes Conrad, Lauren Tom as Amy Wong, Dan Castellaneta as The Robot Devil and Stephen Hawking. It may not be action packed, complicated or ensemble stories, but it is another good film worth watching. The TV series was number 26 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Good!
