DVD Reviews of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters for DVD
DVD Review: Super Sized
Summary: 4 Stars
When I first saw the movie poster for "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters," I was walking into my local theater to see "Grindhouse." Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to see the Aqua Teen film (or "Grindhouse" a second time) during the entire week in which both features screened there. But despite the alluring painted movie poster (a parody of King of the Mountain), I later discovered that I didn't miss much: this isn't the kind of film that's significantly enhanced via a theatrical experience.
But don't misunderstand me: ATHFCMFFT is a great feature-length reworking of one of Adult Swim's best shows, and it manages to deliver all the bizarre, bloody hilarity of the series' best episodes many times over. It may seem inconceivable that the surreal and gory fun of ATHF can be multiplied many times over in the context of a feature film, but a minor miracle happens here: it's everything you could possibly expect from an Aqua Teen movie and a pinch more for good measure.
The plot, in summary: the Aqua Teens, Plutonians (accompanied by the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past) and Mooninites are in a race to harness the power of an exercise machine created by Dr. Weird and owned by Carl, which contains a dormant, unparalleled destructive power. Also, the Aqua Teens seek out their creator. Sort of. It's not as though any of this makes much sense, so don't worry about it.
Stretching a show that consists of 11-minute episodes into an 87-minute feature film is a daunting task, but ATHFCMFFT is more than adequate. The film drags in a few spots, but is as consistently unpredictable and inventive as the show itself. ATHF is the only remaining program from the original Adult Swim lineup because it's the best of those four shows (with Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law coming in at a close second). As a result, it's also the most worthy of a film adaptation. Just consider this for a moment: can you imagine how excruciating a Sealab 2021 or Space Ghost film might have been? To be sure, this is geared towards the ATHF fanbase, so if you're not among the initiated, I suggest that you obtain some marijuana and/or a clue before viewing this, because anyone who watches this and expects to take it seriously is bound to be as confused and offended as they are obtuse.
While it wallowed in relative obscurity at the box office, ATHFCMFFT still managed to earn its' minuscule $750,000 budget back seven times over. This may pave the way for future films based on other Adult Swim programs; I can't be the only one who knows that The Venture Bros. would make for an incredible theatrical feature! Besides, the amount of money that ATHF fans spent on weed before going to see this was undoubtedly more than the box office revenue of all of this film's competitors combined.
Oh, and Bruce Campbell voices a long-lost Aqua Teen in the form of a giant fried chicken. If you're not already planning to see this by now, what's wrong with you?!
This two-disc package is packed with perhaps more special features than I've seen before in a DVD set. The most interesting of these on the first disc include an informative commentary track, a detailed behind-the-scenes documentary and a few amusing theatrical trailers. The companion disc is even more plentiful, providing the infamous fake endings, plenty of hilarious deleted scenes (including the televised "Deleted Scenes" / "Star-Studded Xmas Spectacular" ATHF episode), some cute promotional commercials and a lot of fun music videos related to the film's soundtrack. It also includes a thoroughly hyped "Deleted Film," an unwatchable 80-minute alternate version of the film compiled entirely from deleted material. I can report that this alternate movie was unwatchable from first-hand experience, as I was unable to view more than ten excruciating minutes of it.
The menus are...enormous. If you like graphic design culled from hip-hop and heavy metal albums, you'll love the gigantic, tacky aesthetic of the selection interface. Really, what else would you expect?
Description of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters for DVD
AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE COLON MOVIE FI - DVD MovieFans of Cartoon Network?s Aqua Teen Hunger Force series (part of the cable channel?s Adult Swim programming) know what they?re in for with this feature-length extension of the nearly-indescribable animated show. Set in a rundown, Jersey suburb, Aqua Teen concerns the misadventures of three human-size characters who happen to be fast food refuse: the crude Master Shake, a discarded milkshake in a cup similar to those from McDonalds; skeptical Frylock, a flying, cardboard box of french fries; and the personable Meatwad, a piece of expired, red beef of unknown origin. Together, they go in search of a missing piece of an exercise machine that happens to be more than an exercise machine, placing them on a collision course with the likes of Oglethorpe and Emory, a pair of jagged, ridiculous creatures from the future who travel with a robot companion claiming to be the Ghost of Christmas Past. They also encounter Dr. Weird, a mad scientist given to disguises and who seeks revenge against the Hunger Force; McPee Pants, a rapping spider who wears a shower cap and diaper; and the hilarious Ignignokt and Err, two-dimensional villains from the ancient days of pokey, Atari video games. Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro, series creators and writers-directors on Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, are wildly entertaining class clowns, but they expect the rest of us to follow them into their surreal world of postmodern animated nuttiness. The rewards, however, are plentiful. --Tom Keogh
