Average Rating:5/10

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

Synopsis: AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE is a cult favorite on the Cartoon Network's late-night animation segment, Adult Swim. The show hits the big screen with the strangely titled AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE COLON... AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE is a cult favorite on the Cartoon Network's late-night animation segment, Adult Swim. 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.

I have never taken an illegal substance; movies have always been my drug of choice, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters was like a big old cinematic acid trip.

The film is very, very funny; and it is very, very exhausting.

If you're not among the Aqua Teen hard core, the aggressive dumbness wears out its welcome about five minutes after the lights go down.

You have to give these guys this much: They remained true to their twisted vision, and that's exciting to see.

The big question for fans is does Aqua Teen Hunger Force have enough gags and giggles to translate to 86 minutes on the big screen? And the answer is ... yeah, sort of, well, maybe. ...

A massive collection of absurdist non sequiturs and deadpan pauses, which, depending on your tastes (and possibly your affinity for mind-altering drugs), are either the stuff of comic genius or proof that the world has stopped making sense entirely.

Its absurdist scenarios serve as little more than a ramshackle frame for bizarre non sequiturs, stoned pop-culture riffing, and some of the weirdest gags ever to make it into a studio-released film.

It's inconsequential, potty-mouthed, extremely silly, and -- the worst sin of all -- dead boring.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force tends toward arch silliness more than actual humor, a formula that's tolerable enough in 15-minute tube installments but deadly dull in this 86-minute feature.

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.

Crudely animated, tasteless, and totally pointless, which I'm sure the filmmakers would say is the point.

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.

Works wonderfully when taking potshots at pop culture and not so well when it tries to make sense. Luckily, it doesn't try do that very often.

It's not too hard to imagine that the inspiration for this show came during a late night, cannabis fueled attack of the munchies. It's no masterpiece but that's the idea.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force," the movie is a juiced-up revelry of irreverence and sarcasm that defies description.

Fittingly, the sequences when the movie actually tries to tell a story are when things bog down and fall apart. Much better is when the movie stops trying to make sense and just lets the pop-art absurdities fly.
