I liked the initial idea but it didn't lead anywhere interesting. There was somewhat of a message /rant feel to it, which was fine.

It wasn't that funny a movie, but at least it was consistent and had some decent moments. The character development was run of the mill and I was fine with that. The plots were poor when you consider that this movie could have explored a future society or its own premise a lot more. It just stuck to the idea that everyone was an idiot. No variation at all.

For a movie that laughs at idiots I thought it would have been a lot smarter. Social satire? You could fit the social satire message of Idiocracy in half a tweet. You could satire the movie itself. A movie for the YouTube educated. A movie for a new type of idiot. Informed and with initial good intentions but soon to develop a stubborn competitive superiority for point scoring and the pride in calling others stupid. Egocracy. Less extreme, it's a movie for people to watch and recognise that they're not alone in believing that most people are idiots.
Obviously there is truth in the movie, but the way its expressed and presented doesn't make a good movie.
