Description:
With fuel prices skyrocketing, the Planet Express crew sets off on a dangerous mission: to infiltrate the world's only dark-matter mine, source of all spaceship fuel. But deep beneath the surface lies a far stranger place... a medieval land of dragons and sorcery and intoxicated knights who look suspiciously like Bender. So park your hover-car and saddle up your unicorn for Futurama's grandest adventure yet: BENDER'S GAME!

Amazon.com:
At once a merciless skewering of all things fanboy and an extremely satisfying addition to the Futurama franchise, Bender's Game is among the best of the animated series' feature length adventures. The game in question is Dungeons and Dragons, and Bender wants in--only robots aren't programmed with the necessary imagination. Naturally, Bender's plans to develop one go completely awry and land him in an android asylum. The role-playing plotline later re-emerges--in typically convoluted Futurama fashion--via a subplot involving Professor Farnsworth's conversion of dark matter into spaceship fuel, which created a key to a very D&D-influenced universe where our hapless heroes eventually find themselves. The alternate world storyline allows for much lampooning of fantasy tropes, with Lord of the Rings receiving the lion's share of the tweaks. Seeing as how the writers have already devoted much of the movie's running time to parodying Star Wars and Star Trek (and their Lego offshoots), one might think that Bender's Game might suffer from pop-culture overload, but surprisingly, it all feels fresh and frequently funny, and the writers are wise to ground the story in their eccentric characters rather than pinballing them through an endless string of gags. The result is probably the strongest of the direct-to-DVD Futurama releases to date, and one that newcomers to the show's cracked universe can appreciate as much as longtime fans.As with previous Futurama DVD releases, the extras come fast and furious on Bender's Game: commentary by members of the cast and production team (including Matt Groening) is both informative and funny, while interviews with the writers and producers discuss, among other topics, the influence of Dungeons and Dragons on the series and the 3D models used in the feature. Aspiring animators might appreciate "How To Draw Futurama in 83 Easy Steps and the storyboard animatic for the first part of the story, while the "Genetics Lab" feature allows for some amusing Dr. Moreau-style cross-breeding of the characters. Recording session bloopers and a deleted scene offer their own laughs, but the most enjoyable extra must be the preview for the next Futurama feature, Into the Wild Green Yonder, which suggests a shocking development for one of the show's regulars. -- Paul Gaita

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Bender's Game is Mega-Lame
I like that it is high-def, but the movie it's self was really lame. There wasn't any of the sparkle of any of the other Futurama straight to dvd movies. It felt like them mentioning imagination was enough to not have any in the movie. If you like Dungeons and Dragons a lot, you might like it more. Maybe I missed some of the inside jokes or something.

I wouldn't recommend this over the other dvd movies, but as a Futurama fan, I had to get it to see for myself



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - average
the picture quality is great. i find futurama funny no matter what. the first two movie releases for futurama i believe were better than this one. overall, worth buying at a discounted price.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Blu-Ray is awsome, movie is terrible
I've been a long-time fan of futurama. The TV series has always been great. I'm also a big fan of blu-ray, so my expectations were high.
The movie disappointed me greatly. It has quite a few funny bits, and the great small and easy-to-miss anecdotes and gags that I've come to expect from Futurama are there as well. But the movie as a whole is just.. boring.. not very funny.. not even original in any way..
I've come to expect more. At most - rent this thing and see I was right. Not worth ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - I've seen better :(
Even though I really like Futurama from the beginnigs on TV, I was very dissapointed when I saw this.
Actually I'm pretty speachless.

To make it short. It is almost not worth one watch! And that is really really sad!




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Movie
I love Futurama. I love the Futurama movies. I would totally reccomend this blu ray (or dvd) to anyone that likes the TV series. The HD format looked great and very clear like "The Simpsons Movie", which I also own on blu ray.
