Lesser Known Movies you must watch - 6

Idiocracy

Cast: Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, Dax Shepard, Terry Crews, Justin Long

The sixth movie is again a comedy but a science fiction which is funny in its own way where it tells about a story of a top secret military program where two human beings are selected for hibernation experiment, which was sort of illegal and when no one realizes about the same those two human’s ends up in hibernation mode for around 500 years and once they are awaken, they realized that they are in a sort of dystopian society where human beings have become dumber with zero IQ and more virile.

The story starts in the year 2005, where a Corporal Joe Bauers (an Average person) is selected for the suspended animation experiment (Person is induced to a sleep to a hypometabolic state to try to preserve its mental and physiological capabilities). This experiment is forgotten when the officer who is conducting the experiment is caught for some prostitution racket.

Now starts the prime humor of the movie, as Joe is in hibernation mode along with another women (a prostitute), human population has become more stupid as the intelligent humans are becoming less and less fertile while the lesser intelligent race are becoming more and more reproductive which results in a chain reaction and people become more and more dumber.

Joe and Rita awoke in the year 2505 and Joe’s suspension chamber crashes into the apartment of Frito (Dax Shepard) who tells him that there is a time machine which can help him go back in time. In a funny events of ups and downs Joe gets caught by the police and escapes gets a name “Not Sure” by faulty Tattooed machine, takes IQ test and connects with Rita again. He is finally apprehended and taken to the white house where due to the his IQ test results which makes him the most intelligent person alive on planet earth he is appointed as Secretary of Interior.

In an attempt to fix the word Joe realizes that the crops in this century are irrigated with a sports drink and not water which is treated as a wasted commodity. When Joe tries to replace drink with water, it resulted in the Brawndo (sport drink) losing it stocks and most of the population losing their jobs. This results is riots and Joe being sentenced to death by a unique way of combating in demolition derby.

Will Joe be able to survive this ideocracy (a form of government in which a country or territory is run by fools)? Will he able to get back to his own time with the help of time machine Frito has suggested? You would have to see it for yourself!!!
