I've never been a huge fan of Mike Judge and his Beavis & Butt-Head or King of the Hill, so although I loved the idea of this film, it took a long while for me to actually check it out. Eventually when I did, I have to say I was impressed.
Mike Judge, the guy who did crappy animations, seems to know how to do a good, laughable idiot-comedy with enough twist and timing to make it rise from the pile of those where these normally belong. Idiocracy tells a story of a world attacked by the darwinistic facts: when stupid people are only ones that reproduce, the world gets stupider. The main character Bowers played by Luke Wilson, takes part in an army experiment to freeze a person for a year. Too bad it's forgotten for 500 years, and Bowers wakes up in the world gone badly wrong.
Idiocracy is filled with nice gags and funny moments, although the storyline itself doesn't carry too strong. Eventually, it's not a bad thing, one grows to like the characters pretty quickly, so their lives become relevant.
Idiocracy is a good film, which has received too much negative feedback. Too bad the production company was afraid to show it enough, but hopefully the DVD will get some money back. I will at least buy one!
