The is another great lossless DTS-HD multi-channel soundtrack from Fox on Blu-ray Disc.The fourth in a series of direct-to-DVD films based on the TV series, “Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder” is an environmentally driven story. It begins with Amy Wong’s wealthy father, Leo, who owns Mars and has a reputation for not caring about the environment. Because he thinks his miniature golf course is too small, he plans to bulldoze twelve percent of the Milky Way galaxy for expansion purposes. ***

At the construction site is Fry, who falls victim to strange accident. As the result of his injuries, he now has the ability to read minds, and he quickly decides to use it as a way to win at poker. He eventually competes against Bender as well as a number of other gamblers. ***

As all this happens, the one-eyed Leela departs to join a group of feminists that protest Wong’s construction methods. We’re also introduced to The League of Mad Fellows, which ties in with a subplot featuring a mysterious dark enemy. Ultimately, the fate of the universe rests in the hands of Fry and his friends. ***
