Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters

This is the official Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie...and it delivers only as Aqua Teen can. Master Shake, Meatwad, Carl, the Mooninites....everyone's here, with a couple fun cameos here and there.

Non-fans take note - if you've never seen the show, this movie will likely make NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. Here's something you might not know either: it's meant to be that way. The movie is as random and inappropriate as the TV show, and I loved every minute of it.

There are a few times when the movie slows down, but you have to admit that it has one of the most catching opening sequences. You almost HAVE to watch it after that...and chances are, you'll probably love what you see.

Don't get me wrong, I love Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It's one of my favorite Adult Swim cartoons. However, in all honesty, I don't like the movie as much. I was kind of disappointed by the movie. It's just nothing but a feature length episode of the TV show instead of a project that can stand on its own. I don't think the movie is bad either. What I do like about the movie is that it stays true to the original series it was adapted from. I like how it was the second time Cartoon Network had involvement with a theatrical feature film after the Powerpuff Girls Movie. The voice acting is pretty good, the animation is decent, some of the jokes did make me laugh, the soundtrack is pretty cool, the art is nice, introduction to Chicken Bittle, and I like how it's the first time Adult Swim had involvements with a theatrical feature film. What I don't like about the movie is that it acted way too much like the show it was based on. The characters are not as memorable as from the show, the writing is weak and offers nothing, most of the humor is stretched out and didn't make that much sense, how the ending just felt contradicting, how they sometimes almost censor the f word, judging by the fact that the movie is Rated R, how the story is on and off, and worst of all, how the movie was promoted with the infamous Boston Bomb Scare that ruined Cartoon Network in 2007.

They could've done so much more with this movie. You shouldn't try to copy Disney, yes, you should be your own thing, but Movie Film for Theaters just felt weak. It's honestly not as fun to watch as movies like Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, or even the Simpsons Movie. Then again, it's not the worst movie I have ever seen.

I understand that there are fans of the show that enjoy the movie, and there's nothing wrong with that. I just believe Aqua Teen Hunger Force works better in 10 minute shorts rather than a feature film.

I saw this in a packed theater full of ATHF fans, which was great. The intro alone (which I won't spoil) was amazing - I'm not much of an out-loud-laugher and I was laughing so hard I was out of breath. They kept the momentum going with some great fun with subtitles.

The first half of the movie was hilarious all over the place. The only problem began when they actually got the plot moving. ATHF is not about plot, and when too much plot happens, the hilarious non-sequiturs go away. Also, the plot involved incapacitating Carl for far too long, and he's such a great character that I wanted to see more of him.

If you're not familiar with the TV series, it's not necessary to watch it first. Sure, you won't know anything about the characters going into it, but the movie tells you everything you need to know about them anyway. The thing to understand is that nothing from past episodes affects the characters in the movie, and vice versa, just like most other animated comedies but more so (not even death is permanent).

All in all, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters is a hilariously fun time, and it's a shame theaters didn't show it in enough places.

I'm 51 years old -- a suburban housewife. My son, now 11, introduced me to ATHF 4 years ago. At first, I tuned out. Then I got hooked. Now we have almost all of their videos and the show is my favorite on TV.

My son and I just got back from seeing the film. It's brilliant. I laughed out loud almost the entire time and it's not easy to get me to laugh out loud at the movies.

Like some have said -- one either gets Aqua Teen or one doesn't. I feel lucky to be among the former and am proud that my son is astute enough to appreciate the humor also ... The show is a terrific send-up of just about everything imaginable -- including trite movie conventions -- and the film did not disappoint. That being said, you have to let yourself get ready to trip, and I did have to assure the young man selling me the tickets that my son and I knew what we were getting into. Honestly, it's not that shocking and the vulgarities are delivered so deftly and speedily that one hardly has time to focus or dwell.

Given the unique ironic brand of post-modern absurdist style humour that the TV show essentially is--how then does one turn it into a 90 minute movie? I was almost hoping for a series of stories, but they did one big story. It's certainly more a treat for the fans than for the unitiated. Some things work, but it does start to drag after a while. The refreshing thing is that the movie doesn't care--it's an outright F-you to the audience and as they tell you (hilariously) at the start you can leave cause they have your money already. How many movies would do that? Aside from all that, the characters are truelly amazing and they stayed true to them. Not sure how I feel about some of the revelations--but whatever.
