An interesting movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since the concept sounded pretty neat, I thought I might as well check it out. Eventually, it turned out to be a very interesting satire about how our world could look like in 500 years. In my opinion, the whole concept was actually well done and this movie pretty often scored some major points. Unfortunately, the jokes were also very often seriously moronic, the tone was also from the same level and it did drag the whole thing down, I’m afraid. Indeed, it seemed that the makers couldn't avoid making a stupid movie as they were dealing with a stupid world which was too bad. Concerning Mike Judge, it is rather sad that, just like with his directing debut ‘Office Space’, this movie was very poorly released with little to no marketing at all so almost no one saw the damned thing when it was released. And yet, it still became a cult-classic somehow. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was definitely not a great movie, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre or if you are interested in Mike Judge’s work.
