Mike Judge wrote and directed this offbeat sci-fi comedy that gives a new
meaning to the expression "people are getting dumber all the time." Pvt. Joe
Bowers (Luke Wilson) is a soldier chosen to take part in a secret military
scientific experiment in which he will be put into induced hibernation for one
thousand years. Bowers is chosen for the assignment because he is statistically
the most average man in the Army; however, Bowers is forgotten a few decades
into the experiment, and when he wakes up in the year 3001, he finds himself
living in a society where intelligence has taken such a landslide he's now the
smartest man in the world. What will Bowers do in a nation where an unremarkable
man is elevated to the level of a genius? Produced under the title 3001,
Idiocracy also stars Maya Rudolph, Dax Shepard, and Stephen Root. ~ Mark Deming,
