A decent movie to see is

Idiocracy

It's not award winning by any means, but the subject is a distinct possibility. Its worth a rent and thinking about.


Basic synopsis:

An average guy in the military with slacker tendencies takes part in a military experiment, along with a hooker, in hybernation and forgotten about. They get awakened 500 years in the future and society has been so dumbed down he is now the smartest guy in the world.

It was good for the first half or so, then it just got annoying. Interesting concept though (the dumbing down of society).

i think i saw some oldschool movie like that once.. where this guy travels forward into time and sees how everyone are idiots now and mindless controllable beings... i think it was made in the 60's. can't remember the name though....

That's mainly the part I found intriguing as well.

curlyque221 has political potential

So Jajae and I watched this movie today...

I'm not sure we can find the words to describe it.

It was true to its name.
