Idiocracy

2006 · 85 min

A goofy, exaggerated satire that feels like a feature-length comedy sketch, with broad humor and a surprisingly pointed message.

Tagline: In the future, intelligence is extinct.
Overview: To test its top-secret Human Hibernation Project, the Pentagon picks the most average European-Americans it can find - an Army private and a prostitute - and sends them to the year 2505 after a series of freak events. But when they arrive, they find a civilization so dumbed-down that they're the smartest people around.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, cynical and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Class, power, corruption, media
Content: Strong language. Mild violence, gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
