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?

Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
lewiskendell I was worried after seeing Bender's Big Score. Extremely worried. What's the point of bringing Futurama back from the grave, if it was only going to be a mediocre shell of it's former self? If the second movie followed in the footsteps of the first, I would have preferred that the series would have stayed a fond memory. Thankfully, these dire thoughts didn't turn out to be reality. The Beast with a Billion Backs is good. Still not fantastic, as the original series was, but much better than Bender's Big Score. It did a few things right that BBS absolutely failed at. The story was coherent, the characters seemed much more like themselves, and it was actually funny. I found myself laughing out loud several times during the movie, and that really helped assure me that this wonderful series wasn't reborn only to be buried under crud.If you're a long-term fan of Futurama, I'd recommend that you skip right over Bender's Big Score, and start your re-acquaintance with Futurama with this movie. There's really only one important plot point that carries over from the first movie, and knowing about that isn't worth the disappointment of watching it. In my opinion, Futurama officially re-begins here.
Joshua Warren Well continuing where the previous movie ended, the universe now has a giant rip in it. The Planet Express team and Wornstrum finally team up to explore the anomaly. Meanwhile Fry has a new girlfriend, Amy and Kiff gets married and Bender joins a robot league after having stocked Calculon. After a lot of weird events (that I wont spoil) Fry goes into the anomaly and later returns to earth taken over by a being that takes control over humans by attaching its tentacles to they're necks (I guess that's what they mean with "a billion backs"). Frankly this story was so odd and had so many twists and parallel story lines, that I'll just stop here.If you already have seen "Benders big score" don't wait with seeing this one. It wasn't as funny as the previous film, but still worth seeing for an each Futurama fan. For its awkward(you'l figure it out) but still very humorous and unexpected storyline I'll give this film a 7/10.
Esteban Tapia I simply cannot understand the reason behind the bad reviews posted here. For fans: Futurama is back! And with great difference to the disappointment of Bender's Big Score, it's back on track and on it's toes once again. For non fans: Watch it, enjoy it, judge it then. It depicts characters in a realistic manner, they're understandable and their personalities are well portrayed, it also doesn't hurt at all the series as there's no spoilers or messing with timelines.I loved this film! It made laugh, it got me excited and it entertained me, a lot! It's fast paced, it has a well strung smart storyline and it doesn't abuse it's characters like the previous film. I had hard feelings about their previous attempt, I definitely hated Bender's Big Score as it got me worried that Futurama was completely lost, but this film turned around all of that! I'm tremendously glad that Groening and co. managed to return from the dark side of over-dramatic plots accompanied of simple knock knock jokes to once again deliver great, quirky and smart episodes.Futurama is back folks!
Jackson Booth-Millard 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!
