Overview
In the future, intelligence is extinct.
To test its top-secret Human Hibernation Project, the Pentagon picks the most average European-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.
Review
Idiocracy
The jokes in this didn’t age well, but the premise did — it might have aged too well, actually. We should probably be concerned that Idocracy and Wall-E’s depictions of the future are more likely than anything else.
