Idiocracy
From Mike Judge, creator of the cult classics Office Space, "King of the Hill," and "Bevis and Butthead" comes his latest movie, Idiocracy.
This comedy stars Luke Wilson as an average military guy who is ordered to participate in a top-secret project where he is to be frozen/put in suspended animation for a year to prove that this new technology works. The problem is that some things happen and the Army forgets all about him. He wakes up 1000 years later to find that he is now the smartest human alive.
You see, in that time the world has changed greatly. Over the centuries the smart people began having fewer and fewer kids while the stupid people of the world continued popping out entire litters of children. Eventually, all the smart people died off.
This movie is hysterical and profane. I found myself laughing a lot during this movie, and after it ended had this strangely depressed feeling that lingered with me... I'm a bit afraid that there's a certain element of this movie that is just a bit too true.
