Consensus: The non sequitur humor of Aqua Teen Hunger Force will surely appeal to its built-in fanbase, but for the uninitiated, the premise wears thin.
Runtime: 87 mins
Genre: Comedies

The show hits the big screen with the strangely titled AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE COLON MOVIE FILM FOR THEATERS, and the plot is as convoluted and nonsensical as the title. Bored, and in hopes of attracting women, Meatwad and Master Shake assemble their second-hand workout machine, the "Insane-o-flex." Frylock steps in to help and discovers it's missing a crucial part--the power chip. They recover the chip, and upon installation launch the machine into its real purpose as a killer robot. This film will be a must-see for hardcore fans of AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE, as several of the sub-characters from the series appear in the film. These include the Mooninites, the Plutonians, MC Pee Pants, and Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future. The traits of the three main characters symbolize Freud's three-part structural theory of the psyche: the Ego, Super-ego, and Id--and the concept works as both a feature-length film and as a fun, absurd 15-minute cartoon.

Reviews for Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres
Skip this feature and wait until it makes its way to DVD or television.
The writers seem to proceed from the adolescent assumption that anything that crosses their minds is automatically funny. To them, sure.
The low-rent, patchwork animation wears on the eyes really fast, and most of the comedic dead horses do exactly what dead horses usually do: lie there and rot.
Only die-hard addicts of the Cartoon Network series will want to sit through the entire film for its amusing moments.
It's all as neurotically juvenile as South Park (though not nearly as sharply written and even less well-animated).
The movie version of Aqua offers pretty much the same surreal, gross, half-baked antics as the TV version, and that's just not enough.
Ultimately, the movie will be remembered (if at all) for its guerilla marketing campaign, which the city of Boston took to be a terrorist threat and cost Turner Broadcasting $2 million, more than the cost of making the film.
Offers occasional laughs amid a jumble of pop-culture references. Despite its Borat-esque title, don't expect a coherent plot.
ATHF can seem brilliantly deconstructive one moment and stupefyingly boring the next -- or to provide a more accurate ratio, it can follow five brilliant seconds with five straight minutes of boredom.
The brains behind Cartoon Network's Aqua Teen Hunger Force have stretched their 12-minute plus commercials 'Adult Swim' series entry into 86 rather uneven ones.
If George W Bush could prove that Saddam Hussein had funded this movie I would reverse my stance on the Iraq War and say that every single civilian casualty was justified.
If nothing else, it can lay claim to being the only film in memory that had me in tears of hysterical laughter before the studio logos came up.
The most unbearable and unwatchable movie experience I've had this year.
At one point there is a live chicken on fire, running around the room like, well, a chicken on fire, and that's when I thought: They have no idea what they're doing here.
In short bursts of late-night TV, ATHF is cramp-inducingly funny. Stretched over 87 minutes, it's too much to bear. Fast food cures the munchies but makes for a terrible diet.
The makers of this film know who their audience is, and it probably isn't you.
I don't expect those coming in to a feature version of their adventures to understand why I was laughing so hard at times. But I did expect to laugh far more than I actually did.
The Boston cops had it wrong: the promotional gizmos put up in public places to advertise this movie weren't bombs, it's the picture itself that's one.
