It is a nice documentary.

Like The Big Lebowski and Office Space this has become a cult movie. The idea that one man and a prostitute wake up 500 years in the future surrounded by morons and idiots while commercialization of everything has spiraled out of control is funny. The amount of theaters this movie was released to was incredibly low in comparison to budget this movie had. If the movie was boring and uninteresting i would have understand, but this movie is funny. From what i understand the production company Twentieth Century Fox didn't want a lawsuit from any of the companies depicted in the movie witch they probably would have gotten if this movie actually became a hit in theaters.

The world is living it today!

They had a good idea for the movie and a great visual effects , but the story line was poorly made and the comedy is not good too , but it is a movie that lets you think about the future and is it really gonna be like this ???

I liked the initial idea but it didn't lead anywhere interesting. There was somewhat of a message /rant feel to it, which was fine. It wasn't that funny a movie, but at least it was consistent and had some decent moments. The character development was run of the mill and I was fine with that. The plots were poor when you consider that this movie could have explored a future society or its own premise a lot more. It just stuck to the idea that everyone was an idiot. No variation at all. For a movie that laughs at idiots I thought it would have been a lot smarter. Social satire? You could fit the social satire message of Idiocracy in half a tweet. You could satire the movie itself. A movie for the YouTube educated. A movie for a new type of idiot. Informed and with initial good intentions but soon to develop a stubborn competitive superiority for point scoring and the pride in calling others stupid. Egocracy. Less extreme, it's a movie for people to watch and recognise that they're not alone in believing that most people are idiots. Obviously there is truth in the movie, but the way its expressed and presented doesn't make a good movie.
