Watch Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs For Free

Strong and Moving!

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The first must-see film of the year.

The universe has ripped open. Fry gets a girlfriend in Colleen. He moves in with her but finds out she has four other boyfriends. Amy and Kif get married in a Fonfon Rubok Ceremony. The Planet Express crew wins against Wernstrom's crew to go investigate the space rift. President Nixon ignores Wernstrom and Professor Farnsworth, and sends Zapp Brannigan to attack the space rift. Fry stowaways and crosses the rift to find a tentacled creature. The tentacles start controlling people with Fry as the Tentacle Pope. Meanwhile, Bender uncovers the League of Robots. This is a strange one for the fans. The central concept is an alien polyamorous relationship. It does meander from one story to the next but it does fit the weird Futurama world. It's always weird to have Fry date someone else. Zapp sleeping with Amy may even be weirder.

'Futurama' is one of my favorite shows that's up there with 'Family Guy' and 'South Park'.The series was so good, that it actually spawned 4 movies.'Futurama: The Beast With A Billion Backs' isn't excellent, but it does deliver the same entertainment that the television series delivered.Add in some rude and sexual humor, and you have a 90 minute long television-based-movie that doesn't let up for a minute.In this episode, a rip in the universe causes tentacles to pour out on to Earth in order to take over humanity.It's up to the one eyed alien Leela to stop the infestation and save Earth.If you enjoy funny one-liners and lots of rude humor, then you should enjoy 'Futurama: The Beast With A Billion Backs'.

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!

The first Futurama movie felt like a collection of episodes strung together, "Benders Big Score" was enjoyable for fans, but like "the family guy movie", or "the Simpson's movie", it doesn't do anything the show didn't do, the same cannot be said for "The Beast With A Billion Backs", which while not as laugh a second as it could be(still multiple laughs per minute) is strengthened by being one of the strongest stories that Futurama has ever ran.My favorite Futurama episode finds Bender floating in space alone, and a tiny microscopic colony grows onto his back, and begins worshiping him as their God, in trying to help improve their lives, he ultimately destroys them all, and then encounters a large energy being in the middle of space, who for all intense and purposes is the God...who doesn't seem to know who he is or what he is doing, but knows that God can't please everyone and if his job is done right no one "should" know he exists at all.. moments like that are the reason I watched Futurama in the first place, and its the kind of thinking that produced "The Beast With A Billion Backs", which is possibly the most unique, thought provoking, and amusing love story, I've ever seen in an animated film, or maybe ever.It's a metaphysical love story, with inter-dimensional sea monsters and robotic demonic pirates, it's a story of infidelity and jealousy (not just with Fry, consider the subplot of Kif and Amy, compare Fry's first relationship with his last, Benders final monologue, etc). Is love personal or universal, can it be shared or must it be guarded, can any kind of perfect love exist within imperfect human conditions? Can/should God love everyone? Because it's Futurama you don't sit down, expecting to be challenged or even moved. "Sorry Bender...Robots don't go to heaven...", but that's just how it ends up.So no this does not feel like "The Futurama" you've seen a thousand times before, it's best moments are still there, but it has a sense of direction, purpose, and story structure, that's its never had before, and is damned commendable. The best adult cartoon movie since "South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut", but as much for the story telling itself as the laughs.It's the Cthulu Love story of our times!
