Fans 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Well...I loved it!, May 18, 2007

This review is from: Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters for DVD (DVD)

After reading numerous criticisms from the press and seeing similar reviews on amazon I am aware that this makes me the minority....but I loved it. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon movie wasn't supposed to be the next best movie of all time. It was made with under a million dollars and wasn't even a wide release. Everyone expected it to get panned, and we knew all along that this would be a movie purely for the fans. And the fans love it!

Everyone in the theater seemed to love it too. The first 30 minutes are admittedly the best, but people were cracking up pretty much up until the end. If you like the Aqua Teen Hunger force show, you should like this. It is exactly what you would figure the movie to be: It is structured the same way the shorts are, but with much more content. Actually, when you take one of the seasons on DVD and do the "play all" that's basically the equivalent of watching this movie. Yeah, there is a plot line consistent through the movie, but that plot line is paper thin. Essentially, you could start the movie halfway through and wouldn't feel like you missed anything.

Look, if you like the show, this is like a marathon. If you didn't get it in the first place, then why are you concerned with it? It was made for US. The fans. And the large majority of us enjoyed it. My girlfriend even laughed a few times, and she had no idea what was going on.

Plus, the Mastodon song in the opening sequence...PRICELESS.

This review is from: Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters for DVD (DVD)

Those who know me know I love Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Sometimes. The writers are good at finding things that are funny that other people don't. Sometimes. This series has been the source of several ten minute spurts of hilarity that may never be matched in my lifetime. But just some. And that's really the problem. Even for the initiated, indoctrinated Aqua Teen Hunger Force fan, a few of the shows just don't click. I think that Hand Banana was hilarious and Grim Reaper Gutters was pretty awful and Global Grilling is just ho hum. That's just this season.

One of the charms of the Adult Swim block on television is that if you don't like what's on, it's entirely possible that ten minutes from now, it won't be any more. If a joke falls flat for these writers on television, it's a short experience, easily forgotten by the viewer when he tunes in again and gets a hilarious payoff. In a movie theater, however, that particular privilege of their original format goes away and you're left with a film that's up and down and ultimately doesn't pay out as much as you might expect it to.

Now, don't get me wrong - fans of the show should buy the movie. The extras are thick and meaty, and the film is at least entertaining enough for a person well indoctrinated in the series that it will be more enjoyable than not. For a viewer who's never heard of this Aqua Teen Hunger Force thing, however, my sincerest advice is to run as far and as fast as you possibly can, because you will hate this movie. Not just dislike - hate.

Any time a movie doesn't even try for large segments of the audience (the majority, in this case), you have to rate it accordingly, particularly given the fact that fans of the show are only going to read these reviews to find something they disagree with and argue about it. So, yeah - average viewers, think of this three as more of a one and a half with a big fat caution.

Seriously, though - there were some pretty excellent gags. The opening parody reel ought to be shown before every single film released for the next ten years, because it's a neat and effective way of expressing what we're all thinking. After that, however, you get a sort of bumpy ride of chuckles and boredom. I didn't personally find large parts of the story to be that satisfying, and the whole thing seemed to me like the writers were straining a little bit.

There is reason for optimism, though. As a backer of the show, I have felt obliged to purchase this movie, and if only for the extras and the good parts, I think it was worth the money I paid for it. The film also turned over something like ten times its budget, so we might be able to reasonably expect this sort of treatment for other Adult Swim programming in the future. And, as I hope I've beaten into the ground by now, the funny bits are reasonably funny. I just have a hard time with a movie where as many of the gags fall flat as this one.

Bottom Line: this film is ONLY, and I will stress that ONLY part, for the already-established fan. If you're a new person looking into just what this Aqua Teen Hunger Force is all about, I'd have to recommend that you get started with the first or second season DVDs (I actually started with the fourth) and see if the show is at all to your liking before you consider picking up this movie.
