“Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres” feels somewhat like a combination of “South Park” and “Heavy Metal”. This picture is based on the “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” cartoon series, a show that I was vaguely aware of but knew virtually nothing about but might check it out after this.
“Aqua Teen Hunger Force” centres around the misadventures of a milkshake called Master Shake (Dana Snyder), a pack of fries by the name of Frylock (Carey Means) and a wad of meat appropriately named Meatwad. The gang find themselves involved in battle over an exercise machine with the potential destroy the entire world. Great plot, isn’t it?
I love the idea that the main characters are fast-food items. The funniest and therefore my favourite has to be Master Shake with his rather selfish tendencies and no I never thought I’d be writing about my adoration of a milkshake’s selfishness. Frylock is also pretty funny and I like the way he shoots lasers out of his eyes. Meatwad is the blandest but that’s not to say that he’s a bad character; it’s just that he isn’t as fun as Master Shake or Frylock. Most of the other characters are somewhat funny.
This is a film in which a milkshake uses a flamethrower on a chicken, a pack of fries repeatedly punches a man in the face and a watermelon serves as a spaceship. The film is totally insane but you can’t help but just go along with the madness and enjoy what is on offer. This film won’t be to everybody’s taste and I can imagine a lot of people becoming frustrated with its style but I found myself able to laugh at a fair amount of what was on the screen. You have to give it some credit, it’s wittier than “Beavis and Butt-Head Do America” and it makes more sense than “Heavy Metal”.
