Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder (2009)

The fourth and final Futurama TV Movie is the one that feels least like a feature; it feels more like four episodes stitched together. (If you didn't already know, the four TV Movies were re-edited into sixteen episodes to be packaged and sold as Season 5 of the TV Series. That didn't happen until after the films were released, but it's clear while viewing that the split was planned all along by the way each one is structured.)
It mixes Vegas and vices with feminist eco-terrorists who wear pink camo and, of course, Bender gets his own subplot, too. It's the least enjoyable of the four, but it pleased fans and it pleased the asshats at Fox who recommissioned the show for a further twenty-six episodes (Season 6).
