This movie was a documentary! Look at how stupid social media and brain rot memes like skibidi toilet has made us

Short but good movie

This movie feels so current. It’s time for a remake—a more serious take on this story.

more relevant in 2025 than ever before

Absolute underappreciated and timeless genius. The ONLY downside of this film is the fact that the costume designer was told to find the most idiotic footwear for the future cast to wear, and after an extensive search, she stumbled upon a startup looking for a break in the market, so they struck a deal. The movie was supplied with unlimited footwear for the cast to wear in the film... And Crocs were forever forced onto the Global Public.

Thoughtful. Deep. Prophetic. Wonderful story.

This is definitely the path we're on. The movie turns it into comedy, but that's probably because we're already too dumb to appreciate a serious presentation.

the movie has a simple plot but a deeper meaning. the logic behind this ‘dumbening’ is straightforward and somewhat logical and really makes you think about humanity’s future. that being said, it’s a funny movie that’s meant to be taken lightheartedly, and enjoyed nonetheless.

Idiocracy takes a satirical snapshot of early 2000s America—one not too far removed from today—and projects a possible future where the world descends into stupidity. It warns that if Western civilization, with an emphasis on America, fails to apply itself as past generations did in building a better world, society could devolve into mindless, complacent chaos. Joe and Rita are average Americans from opposite sides of the tracks, both capable of doing better if they took control of their lives. But because they simply do what is easy and follow directions, they end up in a government program that cryogenically freezes them for 500 years. When they wake up, they find themselves in a future inhabited by a functional yet moronic population, where once-respected institutions and businesses have degenerated into crude, adult-oriented versions of themselves. The people are soulless, vulgar, impulsive, and ruled by emotion rather than thought. Needless to say, Joe and Rita have a lot to work through. But in the film’s lighthearted, sitcom-style fashion, they adapt, overcome, and end up riding high in a low IQ world, that is slowly getting better. The satire in Idiocracy feels almost too smart for its easygoing comedic tone. Yet, it works because it cuts close enough to home to make viewers uneasy about the future while still allowing them to laugh at the absurdity of of a dumbed-down, secular, brand-obsessed, society. Yikes! Ha, ha...ha ha? Gulp.

This film delves into a topic that has always preoccupied me: the difference in birth rates among different socioeconomic groups. However, the only drawback I see in this movie is that it is sort of outdated; being produced in 2006, never would they have imagined we'd have things like mobile phones which are impossible to get detached from and has completely zombied our youth and artificial intelligence that prevents people from thinking rationally and possesses the ability to create images that are undetectably fake. Anyhow, even though I reckon reality in the movie was magnified, we'll eventually end up living in an idiocracy, if we already aren't. Worth a watch.

A prescient movie, and as many put it, it's aged into more of a documentary.

This movie has aged so well it’s scary. Absolutely hilarious fun film. Short run time so it packs a punch full of laughs from beginning to end.

The movie is quite thought-provoking (how dumb could we actually get?). However, I do not think that its genre (Comedy) and setup fit the story very well. 1. The movie does not show a likely future, and I do not think that it ever intended to do so. Clearly, if people would become very dumb, then the world would look quite differently. Television, commerce and advanced machinery would be no more. Rather, I feel as if the movie is a comedy of contemporary dumbed-down-American consumers, and thus also a critique of the latter. As such, I think it is good and also a little fun. 2. I think the movie should have either been a (probably pretty dystopian) movie about such a future, or a comedy movie about contemporary America. Mixing these two does not make the comedy better, and makes the movie and story itself quite flat and dumb. 3. The comedy is not top-notch, except for Terry Crews character, who is certainly a fun watch. All in all, a wasted opportunity.

Uncomfortably close to current events, but pretty funny.

US in very current moment...

A pretty funny satire that feels equally dated and sharp with its creative worldbuilding and time capsule commentary of 2000’s America.

"Idiocracy" is admittedly a very silly movie, but it also manages to somehow be a sharp commentary. The movie has some moments that had me laughing and it also had some moments that only could have been made or done in the era this movie was made in, which made it also pretty funny. I did feel it started to lose steam for me after some of the initial jokes it became a bit too repetitive. Still, I think this is a funny movie and I enjoyed watching it and think it works as an extended comedy sketch. Overall, it is uneven but still entertaining and a quick little comedy watch for genre fans, that could have dived into the commentary a bit more.

This was absolutely horrible….

Filme legal, o roteiro é legal, o elenco é bacana, o filme tem cenas engraçadas, gostei de alguns personagens no filme, e é um filme que eu recomendo.

"Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most and left the intelligent to become an endangered species." Pure genius. So true it hurts.
