Review of Idiocracy

Idiocracy (2006)
9/10
An intelligent movie about stupid people
20 May 2009
I had a great surprise with this; I wasn't expecting too much from a movie that tells the story of a guy that sleeps during 500 years and wakes up in a world where everybody is stupid and the world itself is a mess, but I found that it was amazing how the writer/director of Idiocracy made the theme "dumbness" become so intelligent.

I don't see it like an adventure or comedy movie by the fact that it has a huge critic behind all the funny hypothetic situations. We are becoming stupid, that's a fact. If we don't stop reading magazines about the life of celebrities and watching TV programs about violence and stuff like that I don't doubt that some day the world will be alike the one in this movie. Of course I am being extremist, but I just want to give the idea.

A great movie, a great plot, nice acting... the 84 minutes passes like 10 minutes and the best of all is that in the end you feel like you learned something...
