"If Judge’s vision of the future once seemed too cynical for mainstream filmgoers, in many ways it actually overly optimistic. Idiocracy is set 500 years in the future, after centuries of evolutionary decline. The president has stopped even pretending to address real problems and is able to distract the public with violent spectacle backed by major corporations. In reality, the United States got to this point in less than 20 years."
