The story begins in Egypt, where Master Shake, Frylock and Meatwad are being attacked by an oversize poodle, who kills Frylock before being destroyed by Shake. Shake and Meatwad drive off with Frylock’s corpse, and meet Time Lincoln, who plans to revive Frylock; however, when the CIA break into his house, the Aqua Teens flee in his wooden rocket ship, and Time Lincoln is shot. This, however, is all revealed to be an elaborate story concocted by Shake to explain the ATHF’s origin to Meatwad. Shake then explains to Meatwad that women are only attracted to great bodies, then heads off to work out on his new exercise machine, the Insane-O-Flex. Together, they go in search of a missing piece of an exercise machine that happens to be more than an exercise machine, placing them on a collision course with the likes of Oglethorpe and Emory, a pair of jagged, ridiculous creatures from the future who travel with a robot companion claiming to be the Ghost of Christmas Past… —IMDb
Simply put, there is no middle ground on this movie, and even then, one has to be in the proper frame of mind for it. I'm not sure there is any better movie in existence for the purpose of background filler, and for that it is brilliant
Simply put, if you like the show, you may or may not like this movie. As for me, I loved it. It's about as good as you'd want an ATHF movie to be, albeit a little less "big". It retains its usual insane, devoid of continuity humor, while also finally dealing with the big question of the characters origins...over and over and over again. The intro was obviously amazing, but the ending was absolutely 1,000% perfect.
For the fans like myself, it pleases us with the usual hilariously non-nonsensical scenarios, of course those who never watched the show will definitely scorn it (AnimatedViews.com in comparison recently gave "Belle's Magical World" a 6/10 score). Though I kind of feel at times it obviously is an extended episode of the show. Who else thought the movie already topped itself with the brilliant Mastodon intro?
I'd say the fact that it didn't even try to feel like a movie at times was COMPLETELY intentional. I mean, why wouldn't it be?
no one finds this movie funny. i did. terrible plot? sure. longer than it shouldve been? probably. made no sense? just like the show. but it was goddamn funny along the way. i just wish theyd make a metalocalypse movie when that series ends. fuck me, would that movie be brutal.
