This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

"Idiocracy" had the potential to be a very good movie and satire. But the overboard use of vulgarity throughout ruins this film. It might be the focus of the film. But, whether or not, it detracts from it as a film one could watch for fun or for its satire I note that many reviewers panned people who didn't like it for the social aspects. Would those who enjoy such vulgarity want their families or circles to talk and behave thus as normal? With a better twist and the vulgarity cut, this could be a very good satire.

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

There is so much I could write about this movie, but I think that the first three minutes sums it up perfectly. The uneducated and irresponsible are reproducing at much faster rates than educated and responsible people. Nowadays, with so many safety measures and warning labels, natural selection is not doing enough to kill off the stupid. As such, the general population is getting dumber and dumber. This movie is a phenomenal prediction of the future. Additionally, it does a great job at showing how unchecked capitalism can take over a culture, as demonstrated by the comical amounts of advertisements and sponsors on everything in the movie. I believe that there is one major reason that this movie did not do so well: It hits too close to home and that offends people. Nobody wants to feel stupid, yet we are all guilty of performing some "idiocies" demonstrated in this movie from time to time, like lazing in front of the television for hours or blindly following trends, not questioning the reason these trends exist in the first place. I put this movie on the same level as stories like "Fahrenheit 451" or "1984" because it makes people take a second look at their lives and question the reason that certain systems are in place. People don't like this reminder. People just want to live in their happy little bubble, continue to sit contentedly in their parlor and watch "Ow, my balls!" all day and have it be socially acceptable or even encouraged. I believe, however, that people NEED to be reminded to think for themselves and question the world around them and "Idiocracy" does this in a wonderfully silly way.

I think this movie went straight to video and that is so sad.The best movies are always ignored, while the worst get seen by everyone.The cover of the DVD says "From the creator of Office Space!".While that is true, it's the worst possible thing you could say about a Mike Judge movie.Judge created Beavis & Butthead AND King of The Hill.Two of the best cartoons of all time.Office Space was a very 90s, Kevin Smithish unfunny comedy.The fact that the studio thought that would sell discs proves that they think you are stupid.This movie starts with an explanation of how and why dumb people will eventually control the world.It's a very prophetic look at a future that is all too real.Then they fast forward to the future and the sad reality becomes hilarious.The leading man was an army soldier in our time who was used in a military hibernation experiment.The government cuts funding for the program and he is forgotten about.He wakes up in the year 2500 and quickly realizes he is the smartest person alive.After being given the name Not Sure, he is enlisted by President Mt. Dew to solve the crop growing crisis.This is what a comedy is supposed to be.A must see for everyone.
