Nice and weird, true to the rest of the show.
Classic Futurama, not the best of their four films though.
Another good Futurama movie, feels like the show, but longer
Another fun futurama story. Not one if my favorites from the show but still really funny.
Kinda forgettable by Futurama standards, but hey, it's still Futurama.
Definitely was happy to see this show come back with some random wildness
Maybe it’s just because I love Futurama, but each of the 4 specials are fantastic. This is still great, even though it’s not the strongest 1
Kinda convoluted and with a bit of a lame twist and ending, but it’s still got the writing and charm of Futurama.
Same level of quality as the shows middle seasons, very in line with the tone and pace too
It's the same as watching the show. It's good if you like that show.

The Planet Express crew return from cancellation, only to be robbed blind by hideous "sprunging" scam artists. Things go from bad to worse when the scammers hack Bender, start traveling through time, and take Earth over entirely! Will the crew be able to save the day, or will Bender's larcenous tendencies and their general incompetence doom them all?
Fresh off ripping space-time a new one at the end of "Bender's Big Score," the Planet Express crew is back to mend the tear in reality, or (hopefully) at least not make it worse. Beyond the tear, though, lurks a being of inconceivable...tentacularity. What will become of Earth, and indeed, our universe, when faced with the Beast with a Billion Backs?
When Leela is insulted by a group of space-rednecks (like regular rednecks, but in space), she enters the Planet Express ship in a demolition derby. Leela emerges victorious, but when she brings the damaged ship home, and the Professor sees the fuel gauge, he's enraged by the hit he's going to take at the Dark Matter pump. Now the crew have to find a way to break Mom's stranglehold on starship fuel, even if they have to wade through a Lord of the Rings-inspired fantasy-land to do it!
Leela becomes an outlaw when she and a group of ecologically-minded feminists attempt to save an asteroid of primitive life forms and the Violet Dwarf star from being destroyed, while Fry joins a secret society and attempts to stop a mysterious species known as the "Dark Ones" from destroying all life in the universe.
