Idiocracy (2006)

Idiocracy (2006) The cast includes Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, Dax Shepard, Terry Crews, David Herman, Justin Long, Andrew Wilson, and Brad Jordan.

I was expecting a masterpiece… and instead I got a relatively rubbish film! I think this film has got far too many stars in the reviews. I have to lower my standards. So I’m forced to give it just one. Otherwise, I’d have given it two.

Luke Wilson is still great, very expressive and very funny. Well… at the same time, if he won the MTV Movie Award, I had to suspect that it wasn’t going to be great art or great cinema.

The idea is a good one. Admittedly, human beings will become stupider and stupider.

But this comic dystopia is a little too heavy-handed and ridiculous to be any good.

There’s little real coherence. 

I will say that I was glad to have seen it once. But it’s still a waste of time that I couldn’t wait to get rid of, and I was really looking forward to it ending quickly.
