Idiocracy
Film · 2006
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.
The sides of Idiocracy
- An average soldier frozen for 500 years
- A future where everyone got dumber
- Crops watered with a sports drink
Idiocracy is good for you if…
- you like President Camacho and a nation run by idiots.
- you like laughing at a future that feels a little too close.
Idiocracy is bad for you if…
- you want a gentle comedy that doesn't sneer at anyone.
- you'd rather have subtle wit than crude jokes.
