Watch Idiocracy For Free

So much average

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Function: noun. Definition: a form of government in which a country or territory is run by fools. The great irony of a film like Idiocracy is that when we take the film to its logical conclusion, 99 per cent of Americans should be sterilized. And if you spent 90 minutes watching this movie instead of studying quantum mechanics or something, that probably includes you.... ha ha .... i love this film!!

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'!

I saw this film in 2006, after a friend recommended it to me. Back then, I considered it an interesting commentary on society, but one that was too exaggerated to really mean much.Fast forward 10 years and I'd completely forgotten about it, until seeing it on TV recently. In hindsight, it no longer seems all that exaggerated. The character flaws associated with the stupid people in the film are more prevalent than ever, so it does make you wonder how far we could evolve in the next 488 years.It's easy to associate this with younger generations and blame them for our devolution, but the truth is that they're just the manifestation of what the rest of us created.

I did not like this at all The characters were just too dumb for me. I see it got some good ratings so maybe it was just not for me. I found it painful to watch. I like Luke Wilson which is one reason we got it. I think the actors did the best with what they had but it was just not my cup of tea.
