Just saw it.

Honestly, this is one of those "Had its moments" movies. I honestly thought they tried to milk out the popularity of older characters, which got boring after awhile, although there were some new ones. There were some very funny parts, but this was in no way a laugh out loud movie.

Most of the other ATHF diehards loved it, but the reviewers hated it. I think I'm somewhere in the middle.

The main problem with the movie is there was too much action going on away from the Aqua Teens' house. The thing that makes the show so great is that it looks like a superhero show at first but then we discover it's really about a group of anthropomorphic fast food products who live in a house which would never survive a government inspection and their day to day lives, and Shake's antics. The movie lacked a lot of that (mind there were a few parts which were funny, and all involved Shake to some degree). There was only ONE instance where Shake threw something and it exploded, and not a single instance of Shake abusing his TV to the point where he breaks it. THAT's what makes ATHF so great. That and Meatwad's pathetic fantasies. The movie lacked that and focused too much on Dr. Weird, whose purpose is a five to ten second bit about how he concocts something crazy. Also, the Mooninites didn't mention their moon obsession at all.
