Reviews

grizzledgeezer I watched "Idiocracy" a second time last night, with a friend, and was startled at just how prescient it is at anticipating the Trump administration. Particularly notable is the way corporations purchase the FDA and other government agencies to control public perception (to the extent this future public has anything that might reasonably be called "perception")..It's no surprise "Idiocracy" bombed with audiences, who weren't prepared for such vicious satire. "Satire is what closes on Saturday night."Dax Shepherd delivers a superlative performance as Joe's idiot lawyer. He should have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor.Between them, "Idiocracy" and "Network" accurately predict the dumbing-down of American society. The two ought to be reissued as a double feature.

fregol I just viewed this movie and yes, it provided a few laughs, and was almost logically consistent. The special effects (although not really important for this movie) were only fair, except for the monster trucks takeoff which were really bad.The main reason for this review, however is to bring to everyone's attention that, in the 1950's a Science Fiction story was published, written by author C. M. Kornbluth (not sure of the spelling), a very well known SF writer, called "The Marching Morons" which has the same basic plot as this movie but was a more serious story.The story ended very differently, but, again, the basic idea of the story and the movie were the same. People have won lawsuits over less similar consistencies. Just sayin'!

Harry Wren This film is a reasonably funny satire on the state of mankind in the distant future, for about 30 minutes. Then, seemingly every aspect of the film deteriorates - actually mirroring the decline of civilisation in the film very nicely. So if that was intentional, this film is the work of a genius! But it's not. It's shit made by a one-hit wonder director.

SimonJack "Idiocracy" had the potential to be a very good movie and satire. But the overboard use of vulgarity throughout ruins this film. It might be the focus of the film. But, whether or not, it detracts from it as a film one could watch for fun or for its satire I note that many reviewers panned people who didn't like it for the social aspects. Would those who enjoy such vulgarity want their families or circles to talk and behave thus as normal? With a better twist and the vulgarity cut, this could be a very good satire.
