Customer Rating: Summary: Absolutely hillarious... Comment: I have to admit that I am a fan of distopian comedies, and this one did not disappoint me. As others have noted however, it hits a bit close to home - I too doubt that it would take 500 years for humanity to devolve to the level of stupidity portrayed in the film.
Customer Rating: Summary: Great Idea, Bad Implementation Comment: Great idea for a movie, but bad implementation.
When I was first told about this movie and read up on it I had really high hopes for it. The plot line and idea behind it is someone from today going into a future where the dumbing of the planet has continued. People are lazy, stupid, buy into commercial hype, and have zero attention span. Sounds great and like an amazing concept for a movie.
Where it goes wrong is that the movie seems to be built to actually be an over the top stupid comedy. So in a way it kind of feeds into the dumbing of the planet which it pokes fun it. Such irony. I was really hoping for something more than another stupid comedy.
I gave it 3 stars based completely on the concept. It has some entertainment value as well. I docked it due to being a "dumb comedy" type movie. I truly hope this movie gets re-done in something better as the concept is great. I'd take a higher end comedy, drama, something. Just seems they went lowest common denominator and it turned into a bad B movie, that feels like it could of been made in the 80s.
If you like dumb comedies then you will love this movie I believe though. Customer Rating: Summary: No laughs Comment: This movie may be amusing to the idiots it scornfully satirizes, but to most people, it is a giant bore. The social commentary is too heavyhanded and tedious. The action is silly and low-budget. Why does every black woman actress have to be cast as a ho? I want to see the biopic of Condoleeza Rice--and not by that hatchet man Oliver "Natural Born Nitwit" Stone. Customer Rating: Summary: It's got electrolytes Comment: Wow!
Great movie.
This is the greatest horror movie I have ever watched in my life. It shows that nightmares can become real. All you have to do is to open the eyes to what is around you. It is scary. We do not have to wait 500 years for it to happen. It is happening right now.
Watch it and learn from it. I am sure you are not going to be the same person, ever. Customer Rating: Summary: idiocracy Comment: this is the best movie ever y u ask? because it has electrolights,and cause "i like money" where else can u grow crops w/ toilet water? must own its a quoters movie. funnier than old skool now leave me alone "i'm batein and watchin ow my ballz!!!
