This is no Office Space!!! I think Mike Judge had a good idea for a movie here, but it never quite gets off the ground. Maybe with a little more effort all around, it could have been like a live action Beavis and Butthead, but instead the This is no Office Space!!! I think Mike Judge had a good idea for a movie here, but it never quite gets off the ground. Maybe with a little more effort all around, it could have been like a live action Beavis and Butthead, but instead the plot is really poor and even the little skits come off as tired and dated. Do most people even drink Gatorade any more? Judge's satire used to be so dead-on, and in this it's just so dead. Maya Rudolph's character made no sense at all. I couldn't think of any reason she was frozen, except that they needed a love interest for the main character so they could stretch the movie out to full length. There is enough of Judge's usual surreal stupidity to make it worth renting, but its really not very good.… Expand

Not a bad movie but also not as funny as some reviewers are saying. However, it might be the route the mankind is taking right now so the film is not just a comedy but also provides us with something to think about.

However, it might be the route the mankind is taking right now so the film is not just a comedy but also provides us with something to think about. Nowadays, kids don't do much reading, use computers and calculators for pretty much everything so what was shown in the movie can actually happen. This is a scary vision and something we should not allow to happen.

6 ot ouf 10 from me because I expected a bit ore from the movie.… Expand

To all the diehard "office Space" fans out there. Do yourself a favor and do not see the movie. It will not live up to any expectations. There are some good gags, but the inherent logic doesn't work.

The premise was great. The first 5-10 minutes was great also when discussing survival of the fittest. But unfortunately bad acting and even worse dialogue took over from there. It may sound easy to write and play a society of morons but that The premise was great. The first 5-10 minutes was great also when discussing survival of the fittest.

A great idea executed quite terribly. I, like Don S., had very high hopes that Idiocracy would be brilliant, but it turns out that it's merely another failed comedy movie.

A movie with good intentions, but not a complete film. Lack of screenplay talent hurts this one. The movie is only an hour and 15 min. and the writing could only sustain maybe 22 min. Overall a great concept, just not carried out to A movie with good intentions, but not a complete film. Lack of screenplay talent hurts this one.

Awful acting, and awful visuals. Ridiculous premise. Upsetting conflict. Questionable climax. Acceptable resolution. You might watch most of it during commercials of a TV sporting event. Otherwise, don't bother.

A marvelous plot but like she said, he couldn't finish. Idiocracy was a waste of resources as it had so much potential. Maybe with a higher payroll and budget the movie could've gone farther to make history.

It was an average comedy. It had an interesting original story and interesting actors, but it wasn't very funny, it was way too over the top for it's own good at times and the ending wasn't very good. It's not a bad movie, it's just not that good.

Идея хорошая, правда имеет глупости, но вот подача в целом плоха...
Операторская работа не ахти, диалоги скучные и не смешные, а ведь это комедия! Эффекты дешёвые, я бы простил это, если бы сам фильм был неплох.
Итог: Средний фильм.Идея хорошая, правда имеет глупости, но вот подача в целом плоха...

A very "nice" reminder to the youth of America these days. The first half of the movie is fine but after that it collapses into the banal formula of an average comedy. Still, it has a loud and clear message/ concept.

Pretty good fun. A reminder that democracy requires vigilance, and vigilance requires not being lazy.
