To test its top-secret Human Hibernation Project, the Pentagon picks the most average Americans it can find - an Army private and a prostitute - and sends them to the year 2505 after a series of freak events. But when they arrive, they find a civilization so dumbed-down that they're the smartest people around.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It's a low-boil affair from the Office Space auteur that wears out its dumb-and-dumbest playbook early on.
– Robert Abele,
L.A. Weekly,
5 Sep 2006
fresh:
Judge has a gift for delivering brutal satire in the trappings of low comedy and for making heroes out of ordinary people whose humanity makes them suspect in a world where every inch of space, including mental, is mediated.
– Carina Chocano,

fresh:
Working on a sprawling canvas, Judge fills the screen with visual jokes, throwaway gags, and incisive commentary on the ubiquity of advertising.

rotten:
The movie is bracing for its bile but ultimately more frustrating than funny.

fresh:
If the world is going to hell in any number of handbaskets -- as Judge so acutely demonstrates that it is -- you might as well hitch a ride in his.
