Mike Massie Gone With The Twins This follow-up outing begins to show the strain of 3-4 episodes being melded together. Rated: 6/10 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review Marisa LaScala PopMatters Instead of stretching for feature-sized drama and weighty character arcs, The Beast with a Billion Backs feels more like an easy B-movie... Rated: 6/10 Apr 19, 2018 Full Review James O'Ehley Sci-Fi Movie Page Doesn't come close to the show's best episodes. Oct 13, 2008 Full Review Scott Weinberg Cinematical If you're a Futurama newbie, I'd start with S1 and S2. These flicks are for the wackos who know the difference between Morbo, Calculon, and Wernstrom. Rated: 4/5 Jun 26, 2008 Full Review Jesse Hassenger Filmcritic.com boasts a more imaginative vision of mankind's collective follies than roughly 90 percent of theatrically-released science-fiction movies Rated: 4/5 Jun 24, 2008 Full Review David Cornelius eFilmCritic.com For all its missteps, Beast remains funny and clever throughout.

Spencer P At first gut-bustingly hilarious, then turning into some of the most bizarre commentary on religion yet in the whole show, this Futurama movie showed that the series was no longer interested in being about the future, and more about an amorphous trip through realities. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/07/23 Full Review Cody W I got to admit. FUTURAMA: THE BEAST WITH A BILLION BACKS does feel a little disturbing, but every time Bender shows up, the film quickly recovers. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/15/23 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 1.5 hours of animation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/23 Full Review Cyrus K I'm sorry but not only did i not like this episode, but i REALLY didn't like it. To me the actual plot of the movie takes forever to start and once it does get started it just ends out of nowhere and feels rushed. and i feel as if this never really did need to be connected to bender's big score. And the jokes in this are unfortunately dull at best. And i hate the plot as well, and the message about giving in. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/05/22 Full Review Audience Member In terms of Future Rama, it's all about the Star of David Cross-Promotion, amIright? It's very hard to organize a universe with a lonely God at the helm who just wants to f$%k us all through words, but, organizing nature can't kill its essential nature in order to maintain existence. And I think we want to all exist most of the time, right? I find it no coincidence that Leela is the main love interest in any Future Rama as Ras lila is the dance RADA and Krishna perform as an act of divine Love. When utilizing any platforms of David Cross-promotion, it's important to remember the play of existence, and to forgive it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Rich S Eric Kaplan teamed with David X. Cohen to write that story. Kaplan's screenplay builds on Bender's Big Score and begins, in its own way, to shape up into a tale that takes us on an adventure that's coherent, ridiculous and, ultimately, kind of funny. It's still not a great movie, but more like a four-part special that moves the Futurama animated series along. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/27/21 Full Review Read all reviews
