Intro"Aqua Teen Hunger Force Eighty Minutes of a Whole Nother Movie" or "Aqua Teen Cravings Force Colon Motion Picture Movie for Theaters" is an American animated surreal comedy film released in 2007. Directed by Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis, the movie is based on the Adult Swim animated series, "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" which is about a trio of fast food products and their life in South New Jersey.
PlotThe film starts with an initially confusing montage of backstories which later on ends up being irrelevant. Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad, the primary characters, start an adventure to fix the mystery of their origin. The story takes off when an immortal piece of workout devices threatens their lives. This insanely devastating exercise gear, named Insanoflex, leaves and begins destroying the city. Now, it is up to Aqua Teen Hunger Force to save the world from overall annihilation.
CharactersThe character development is surrealistic and amusing. Master Shake is an extra-large and self-indulgent milkshake with selfish inclinations. Frylock is a box of French fries with an unusual quality of being the most intelligent and most mature of the trio. Meatwad is a simple-minded and childish meatball with an innocent and often ignorant nature. These varied characters come together to form an unusual yet engaging team. Numerous other characters like Carl Brutananadilewski, their next-door neighbor, and the Mooninites, two naughty dimensional pranksters, appear throughout the film and add depth to this bizarre series of occasions.
Themes, Style, and ReceptionThe film continues the tradition of the initial series, with random plot lines and unforeseen amusing twists. The main styles include the absurdity of normal super-heroic qualities being shown by fast-food items, the blending of randomness and humor, and a review of modern society's fixation with fitness and exercise devices. The actual situations that resulted in the production of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force remain ambiguous, contributing to the total absurdity of the film.
The animation style stays consistent with the original series, using easy shapes and colors to develop a visually appealing aesthetic. The movie contains a profane and unique humor, characterized by non-sequiturs and pop culture reference. These stabs at humor might not be for everybody but they mainly deal with those who value slacker and random humor.
Upon its release, the film was received with combined reviews. Some praised it for being amusing and imaginative, supplying a distinctive viewing experience. Others slammed it for being too ridiculous and random, with some people arguing that the humor in some cases failed.
Conclusion"Aqua Teen Hunger Force Eighty Minutes of a Whole Nother Movie" certainly isn't Everyone's cup of tea. It is a mix of absurdity and zany humor that fans of the original series will definitely value. However, for those who take pleasure in bizarre funny and are open to a non-traditional animated universe, this film is worth viewing. Its brand of humor might not resonate with all, but it certainly offers a special experience.
