To test its top-secret Human Hibernation Project, the Pentagon picks the most average 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.

Idiocracy Audience Reviews

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
fregol I just viewed this movie and yes, it provided a few laughs, and was almost logically consistent. The special effects (although not really important for this movie) were only fair, except for the monster trucks takeoff which were really bad.The main reason for this review, however is to bring to everyone's attention that, in the 1950's a Science Fiction story was published, written by author C. M. Kornbluth (not sure of the spelling), a very well known SF writer, called "The Marching Morons" which has the same basic plot as this movie but was a more serious story.The story ended very differently, but, again, the basic idea of the story and the movie were the same. People have won lawsuits over less similar consistencies. Just sayin'!
Alphonse Sclessin Great movie with predictive qualities if you look at American politics today. Not all jokes are great and effects and probs are clealy cheap but that's not what this movie is about. People whining over the poor CGI or the fart/ass/fag-jokes are actually the main subject of this film. Considering budget an 8 out of 10 is a fair rating. I've seen movies with +100 times this budget doing way worse in storytelling, script/story, plot or overall writing so you will.
apeman45 This movie is actually an autobiographical depiction of the Trump presidency so far. Terry Crews does a great job as Trump although Crews' portrayal comes across as much too competent in comparison to the real life Trump. The world has been reduced to impulsive shallow people who only care about money and sex and self promotion. Enter the 2 stars, Maya Rudolf and Wilson who are well below average intelligence as part of a botched scientific experiment. At first they are ridiculed and persecuted by Trump and his followers because they use logic and they believe in science. Compared to Trump supporters they are actually geniuses. When Wilson tries to convince Trump that crops will grow if they use water from toilets instead of gator aid Trump and his followers mock him because they think water is only used for flushing toilets. Trump decides to do a public execution of Wilson in a modern day version of his reality show called "Your Fired". In this version of the show he uses actual fire to kill his rivals. This movie is a very accurate representation of Trump's rise to power. I don't get why it is not part of the documentary genre but I guess that's because it's hard to believe that someone like Donald Trump could rise from a reality TV star to actually garnering enough votes to become the leader of the free world.Trump nearly destroys the civilized world and only then do his followers realize a very stupid man and woman from the past can use their high school level understanding of science to save the world.This is a hilarious movie that depicts what can happen if you stop thinking for yourself.
gamergcfan The beginning part is fresh and funny. The later part is more emotionally resonant and dramatic. However, the middle part is a bit boring because the joke is stretched there, and it runs out of ideas.It is a mix between a satirical comedy and a sociological analysis of what an unintelligent society would be like. It is funny and it effectively analyzes a future dystopic society. What prevents me from giving this higher than a 6? It's not hilarious, and it felt a little boring at times, particularly in the middle. The joke felt overlong, and it ran out of good material especially around the middle.Fortunately, the movie is only 84 minutes, as it felt at times that the joke was stretched for too long.+ Funny at times (not hilarious, though)+ Interesting sociology relating to unintelligenceOverlong (even at 84 minutes)Can get a bit boringScore: 6
