Idiocracy
(2006)
The Future Is A No Brainer
From Mike Judge, one of the creative minds behind Beavis and Butt-Head, King of the Hill and Office Space, comes an outrageous sci-fi comedy that'll make you think twice about the future of mankind.
Meet Joe Bowers (Luke Wilson). He's not the sharpest tool in the shed. But when a government hibernation experiment goes awry, Bowers awakens in the year 2505 to find a society so dumbed-down by mass commercialism and mindless TV programming that he's become the smartest guy on the planet. Now it's up to an average Joe to get human evolution back on track!
Filled with razor-sharp sarcasm and outrageous sight gags, Idiocracy will make you laugh out loud whether you're an absolute genius or a complete idiot!
When I first saw an ad for Idiocracy, I thought it looked terrible. Then I heard more about it and it sounded intriguing.
I have to admit that I love the premise of this movie, and I really enjoyed the first half hour. But it gets bad when they try to come up with a story. By the end I was praying for it to be over.
