Trivia:
E. Gary Gygax, the creator of Dungeons and Dragons (the game on which this film is based) died in 2008. 'Bender's Game' is dedicated to him and he is listed in the credits, although he only appears in one short post-credits scene (archive footage from an appearance he made as himself on Futurama). moreGoofs:
Continuity: According to Farnesworth, he turned dark matter into fuel "30-odd years ago". When he demonstrated it to Mom, Walt and Larry were still babies. Later, according to Nibbler, it was 36 years ago that Mom started harvesting operations - and Walt and Larry were fully grown. moreQuotes:
Turanga Leela: You're making fun of our ship? Your ship's the most beat-up thing I've ever seen - and I've seen Mickey Rourke's head! moreSoundtrack:

I have been impressed with the other Futurama 'films' (for wont of a better word), yet none of them achieved what this one did, the main thing I look for when watching the Futurama cartoon: laugh out loud comedy. And this has that - though not wall-to-wall, it contains enough clever plot writing to satisfy the most adamant of cartoon fans. The CGI far excels the majority of former episodes, although Futurama has always enjoyed a very shiny veneer of pure 'cool'. The character development was handled with far more maturity than in the previous longer installments, and focused on characters which were previously overlooked. In addition, the popular culture references were intelligent, amusingly accurate and, above all else, integral to the plot. No part of this film felt unnecessary - every moment of the outing felt it was necessary to the overall shape of the piece.
In conclusion, this is by far the best longer-addition Futurama produced to this day. In fact, I'm only sad I saw an advanced viewing, because now I have longer to wait for the next production! The writers have proved they can provide fresh material and give it to the viewers in a non-patronising, intelligent but not pretentious manner.
Bring on the next installement!
