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!

Good futurama film - Rating: 4/5
I love futurama and this was a good film. It wasn't my favorit of the 4 films but I am glad I bought it. My brother and I have watched it over and over and there are some halarious things happening in this film. I didn't give it the full 5 stars because they way the story is written makes it seem like 2 films and I had to watch it twice before I fully got how that all goes together.
Anyway, love it, need more, get it, and have a slurm party watching it.
I miss Futurama - Rating: 4/5
I'd put this final installment of the 4 direct to DVD Futurama 'movies' as the 2nd best, a distant second to the first one 'Bender's big score' but a good/decent one none the less.
I wouldn't bother buying this for anyone who isn't already a Futurama fan, I don't see this winning any converts- but where else are you going to get your Futurama fill? Sure we can wait for these to come out on TV but I know buying the DVD is doing my part to help convince the powers that be that Futurama needs to come back, either as a TV show or a movie or something.
An ode to Dungeons and Dragons and the best Futurama film so far! - Rating: 5/5
Futurama: Bender's Game brings Dungeons and Dragons to the thirty first century. With Bender hooked on the popular role-playing game, Fry and the rest of the gang try to get to the bottom of a dark matter shortage. What they find on the way is surely going to rock their world! A tribute to Gary Gygax, the late creator of Dungeons and Dragons, the movie also makes references to Star Wars and Star Trek, the latter with a guest appearance by George Takei!
All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the animation does come alive)! Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few laughs.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the humor, and the music are all excellent!
Following the cancellation of the show (I wonder what "genius" came up with that idea???) life was pretty hard without these amazing characters. The comic books are good, but nothing beats the actual show, so it's so good to have everybody back.
Strongly recommended along with the other three Futurama films: Bender's Big Score, The Beast with a Billion Backs, and Into the Wild Green Yonder.
In short, KEEP'EM COMING!!!
anathor great futurama flick - Rating: 4/5
This movie is a lot like all the other futurama movies but takes a very interesting turn. There is a "shortage" of dark matter and fuel prices are sky rocketing, meanwhile bender wants to play dungeons and dragons but he wasn't programmed with imagination. these story seem totally diffrent but they do cross paths eventully when they enter a fantasy land were dice have all power. this is anathor hilarious futurama movie that is sure to please.
Pretty good movie, HORRIBLE DVD case - Rating: 3/5
I like movies where they poke fun of D&D and other RPGs, so this one does take the cake. My main gripe is the casing: To be carbon neutral, they make a cardboard case? Jeez man, these cases last a few weeks in the best of care, and there's no replacement for this. If you buy this movie, make a copy of the DVD art and place all in a real case, then ship the POS case back to Groenig.
