Idiocracy (2006)

What can we expect of the current society when it creates shows where, if you're smarter than a 5th grader, you can win a million bucks? Society *IS* degrading, and this movie clearly shows it. The film is pathetic and sad to watch, but also pretty realistic.

Idiocracy (2006)

What a gem of a movie. The jokes are spot on, the social commentary is as potent as any "serious" dystopian film, and bonus points are in order for the perfect casting of Luke Wilson. Shame this didn't get more attention when it came out; it really is very good.
