Occasional amusement aside, this is a tedious 86-minutes worth of utterly random movie.

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.

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
While not for the faint of heart, Aqua Teen Hunger Force is perfectly suited for the seriously twisted followers--and new recruits--of the Cartoon Network show.
If you’re in the right frame of mind or if you’ve inhaled the right substance I guess you might find this stuff hilarious. I laughed, then I grew restless, then I grew sleepy, then I just wanted it to end.
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 makers of this film know who their audience is, and it probably isn't you.
Only die-hard addicts of the Cartoon Network series will want to sit through the entire film for its amusing moments.
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.
For a production that is so dialogue-rich (and profane -- this is not for kids), Aqua Teen is also visually arresting in its desultory, whatever-sticks-to-the-wall grottiness.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters is difficult to recommend, without first knowing the sobriety of the viewer.
The animation is pastiche but impudently inventive, with pop culture eating its furry tail after a long lick.
[Creators] Willis and Maiellaro simply do not have enough material to fill a movie that clocks in at 86 minutes. Too much humor falls flat and there are too many stretches where not much happens at all.
It gives me no pleasure to report that Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters is fairly excruciating to sit through -- because I'm writing this as a fan of the TV series that spawned the movie.
It's one thing to catch Aqua Teen in 15-minute increments on TV, but sitting through a feature-length onslaught is an endurance test even for devoted viewers.
The big-screen version of the demented Cartoon Network hit is often hilarious and always surreal.
So insane it approaches a sort of mad brilliance, this full-length Cartoon Network spinoff must have been made with chemical enhancement in mind. Enter with a clear head at your own risk.
It's all as neurotically juvenile as South Park (though not nearly as sharply written and even less well-animated).
The writers seem to proceed from the adolescent assumption that anything that crosses their minds is automatically funny. To them, sure.
Don't ask questions. Just go with it. What other movie these days delivers characters good enough to eat?
Aqua Teen Hunger Force," the movie is a juiced-up revelry of irreverence and sarcasm that defies description.
The movie is warped, to be sure, but even fans will have to admit that the laughs are stretched pretty thin over nearly 90 minutes.
