Movie: Idiocracy

[dBrong]

This is a satire movie. Made in 2005, not the greatest, but funny, prophetic, and it's exactly what we've been talking about on this forum.

The plot: In the year 2005 a soldier was used in suspended annimation project - for one year. However he is forgotten, and eventually wakes up in the year 2505. In 500 years time the human race has become so dumbed down, that he is now the smartest man on earth.

I recommend it for light entertainment.

I saw this; thought it was brilliant as satire as well as prophetic and insightful, which excellent satire often is...

First 2/3 of the movie was excellent -- last 1/3 sortof slowed down.

Best gag: The sign on the top floor of "St. God's Hospital"
Best line: "You got your law degree at Costco?" "Yeah, my dad got me in."
