To test its top-secret Human Hibernation Project, the Pentagon picks the most average Americans it can find - an Army private and a prostitute - and sends them to the year 2505 after a series of freak events. But when they arrive, they find a civilization so dumbed-down that they're the smartest people around.

Biggest Swing

The film peaks with the Brawndo corporate satire revelation then drops significantly during the economic collapse and riot sequences.

Idiocracy starts strong with its prophetic opening premise and maintains high satirical impact through the Brawndo discovery, which reviewers consistently praised as brilliant corporate commentary. The film's middle section experiences some pacing issues during the riot sequences, but recovers with effective spectacle and a satisfying if somewhat rushed conclusion.
