Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

brando647 Now here's a surprise...I've seen movies based on 30-60 minute TV shows that couldn't make the jump to feature length and yet somehow a 10 minute cartoon manages to pull it off. Of course, for a show as random and inane as this, it's not much of a stretch to add 70 more minutes of weirdness. Based on the hit show from Adult Swim, the movie finds the team in a race to stop an apocalyptic piece of exercise equipment loose in New Jersey. The film ever goes so far as to explain the origins of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force...well, in it's own way. If the movie confuses you, it's pretty safe to say you're not the targeted audience...The movie brings in all of the best characters from the TV show, including my personal favorites...the Mooninites. Ignignokt and Err have always been the funniest part of the show for me; I wish they had been given a more central role in the movie. The film is so completely nonsensical, I remember walking out of the theater after it was over and being completely baffled. I thought it was hilarious. For those paying close attention, you can also catch cameos from Bruce Campbell, Tina Fey, and Chris Kattan.I have always enjoyed the TV show but was never a hardcore fan, but I really loved the movie. Because the movie is so sporadic, it's given it a lot of replay value. Every time I watch the movie, I catch another joke or background element I had missed before. With an awesome soundtrack and off-the-wall humor, this movie was definitely worth it. I almost hope they release another one in the future, which is a possibility with the success this movie saw. Keep in mind, this movie is NOT for everyone so watch at your own risk.

dbborroughs The Cartoon Network series goes to the big screen-or in this case the DVD. Its a strange rambling tale about the groups origins and he quest to stop the Insano-flex exercise machine from destroying the world. Rambling wildly from thing to thing in a logic that can only be described as ADD inspired, this is actually a funny movie. Yes, I who can't watch the the TV show for more than five minutes, has found this foul mouthed expansion of the series quite funny and clever. To be certain its not for all tastes since its the sort of thing that makes off beat seem common place, but for those with a slightly skewed sense of humor this movie is a funny romp. I don't know what else to say beyond that. If you have any interest in the series give this a try, its so scattershot odds are you'll find something to laugh at.

bob the moo Mystery surrounds the roots of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force. However when Master Shake steals a piece of exercise equipment from neighbour Carl all this threatens to change with revelations galore. Despite online warnings that the exercise equipment must not be assembled ever, Frylock, Meatwad and Shake set out to do just that, which first involves recovering the missing part from the original owner but, unbeknownst to them they are not the only ones looking for it.I have not seen a huge amount of Aqua Teen Hunger Force because adult swim is on Bravo in the UK and it just isn't a channel I spend much time on. Normally I only watch it and several other of the adult swim shows when I am in the US, although my interest in Master Shake etc was increased as a result of the MF Doom / Danger Mouse album heavily featuring them the other year. I do enjoy them more than many of the other shows I have seen but I did wonder how it would work in more than small doses. The answer was "pretty well" and the film is pretty true to the weird and wonderful world of ATHF and other adult swim characters and has enough laughs across the running time to make it work.That the plot is nonsense is not really a surprise and isn't fair to criticise it for this because this is part of the appeal. I hate to use the word but the "craziness" is imaginative and funny throughout the film. The downside is that it is easy to tire of it because whenever you're not laughing for longer than a minute, you do start to wonder what the point of it all is. Fortunately there is enough surreal humour to hold the attention and the range of characters is a bonus. Master Shake, Meatwad, Frylock and Carl are all great but the Mooninites are my favourites. The voice work from Snyder, Means, Willis, Merrill and Maiellaro is all solid and the cameos from Bruce Campbell and Neil Peart were funny.It isn't a brilliant film of course and if you don't like ATHF then you won't like this but for those that even like it in small doses there is enough here to just about fill the running time. An acquired taste perhaps but it is hard not to enjoy the sheer uncaring weirdness of it all.

wolfentertainment For you to understand this movie (if you can understand it at all) you have to watch the series to get to know the characters, then you watch this movie and you'll understand the sense of humor that they play with here.The film is crazy and goes very well with the whole ATHF things we have seen in the series, and what I liked very much was that they stayed close to the "ATHF spirit" if there's such a thing and they came up with new stuff and gags instead of using old gags or updating them the way that the South Park movie did.What I found most interesting was how they started talking about the origins of Shake, Frylock and Meatwad and then they just mess it around by giving twists and turns just to make it ridiculous. One thing I found odd was how they used Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight" over and over again. All in all, the film is funny and wacky and it will please ATHF fans, if you never heard of the series or what the whole thing is about, DON'T watch the movie, you won't get it.
