Idiocracy (2006)
6/10
Satirical Commentary on People's Reliance on Big Corporations
1 August 2023
Not the smartest movie of all time, but isn't that the point? This is a great comedy if you know what you're getting into. In short, this movie is about Luke Wilson going in the future by accident and learning how dumb society has become.

Does the plot or characters make any sense? Absolutely not. But it's still a fun time if you are okay with dumb humor and social commentary on how much humans rely on big corporations. I can see why Fox Studios wanted to bury this movie and only release it to select theaters because it is scathing when it comes to its commentary on capitalism and human stupidity.

Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph look like they had fun in this, but they do not have great chemistry. Remember, this is from the guy who made "Office Space", so if you go in with that in mind, you will have a fun time. Also, shout out to Terry Crews for stealing the scenes as the President of the U. S who just shoots machine guns in council meetings to get a point across. It was hilarious and strangely on point in its messaging. Oh and the sets were great and whoever constructed them deserves their flowers.
