Idiocracy

Idiocracy is easily the most potent political film of the year, and the most stirring defense of traditional values since Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France.

The whole film has a drab, somnambulant rhythm. Intentional or not, this is part of its genius.

If the world is going to hell in any number of handbaskets -- as Judge so acutely demonstrates that it is -- you might as well hitch a ride in his.

An intermittently amusing -- and sometimes lazy -- satire that plays like a so-so episode of Futurama.

By refusing to distance itself from its targets, Mike Judge's brand of satire risks being mistaken for what it's satirizing.

The movie is bracing for its bile but ultimately more frustrating than funny.

Crappy film.

While dumb people are an easy target, Judge makes a mistake in only working variants of this one riff.

Although Wilson's everyman is a bit too much of a blank slate to really care about, the gaudy visuals and cynical gags more than compensate.

A movie not too bright, not funny, but that guessed right and predicted the incredible... The Apocalypse is now. [Full Review in Spanish]
