I watched it last night, thought it was pretty good. never heard of it until i found it on netflix. anyone else enjoy it?

I thought it was a perfect example of a missed opportunity. I love the premise, but find the execution extremely flawed. It's the kind of movie that screams for a re-make.

I loved it. It explains our planet perfectly. The people that should be populating the planet are being out-bred.

I cracked up when Dax Shepard's character yelled out; "I'm 'batin'!"

Also, the giant Costco was cool.

love it, made me lol quite bit

jono_0101 · 01-19-2010, 05:15 PM

it sounds like a very polarizing movie, ive hear a lot of people that loved it and a lot of people who hated it, i keep meaning to see it, but i have so many other movies at home on blu ray i still need to watch, ill get to it eventually, but it sounds good to me

I'd rather have dental surgery than watch that mess again.

Awesome lines:

You mean that stuff in the toilet?

It's got electrolytes!

I can totally imagine Gatorade being pumped into the water supplies for like schools and buildings.

The set was pretty big for the Costco shoot!! In one of the Costco scenes im the guy walking up the stairs scratching his ASS!!!

It was a nice Master Shot. Mike Judge is a really cool dude.

Man, I would love to own a Blu-ray copy of Idiocracy... brought to you by Carl's Jr.

Actually, most of the "It delivers such an important message to society!" fan-worship comes from the rather wishfully-interpretive cult that grew up around Mike Judge's "Office Space", who immediately wanted to believe that his NEXT film would be Underappreciated Satire For the Betterment of Our Society as well...

...Until "Extract" came out, punched Judge's three-movie free-ride ticket and pretty well finished that cult off--Admit it, you didn't see it either, and that one opened on MORE than four screens.

(Sheesh, studio marketing even fell back on trying to grab the Cult with "It's got people working, so it's sorta like that one you liked!", but you'd think somebody on the Net would be trying for "Uh, is this one genius too?...Anybody??")

Extract is terrible though. At least Idiocracy is funny.

"Um yeah, so according to your chart, it looks like your shits ****ed up and you talk like a f**"

Most important movie of the decade. Mike Judge is a genius. I see Idiocracy everywhere I go now. Actually more of a horror movie than a comedy, if you catch my meaning.

Big_Bass_Man · 04-05-2021, 07:41 PM

This is a very funny movie. We need this in blu-ray or UHD. We also need the unrated extended cut.

Rayjg · 04-05-2021, 08:03 PM

This movie will be a documentary in another 5-10 years at the rate were going.
