Review of Fan-O-Rama

Fan-O-Rama (2016)
6/10
Great potential, and creepy to see 'real life' characters.

Great fan flick!

It's actually pretty creepy to see the Futurama characters as 'real people'. I imagine it would be quite distressing to meet aliens for the first, or 31st time.

Zoidberg could have done with more 'whooping' side shuffling, but hey.

I think there is definitely potential for an 'official' live action film or series based around Futurama, and this fan film is an example of how that might look.

Acting was okay, costumes/prosthetics were okay, sets were okay, special effects were okay. Obviously, you can't expect magic from low budget fan films, but the heart was there, and the sparkle of Futurama was trying so hard to emerge... but something was missing. Maybe some stronger direction, and slightly less theatrical acting (which is a curse of new actors: acting like they're still in a theatre).

I'd love to see more. Either from this same production company, or an 'official' representation of Futurama.
