“In the future, intelligence is extinct.”

ComedyScience FictionAdventureThriller

To test its top-secret Human Hibernation Project, the Pentagon picks the most average European-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.

VIBE

This film feels like a relentless, absurd descent into a future where common sense is extinct. It's a darkly hilarious and cynical social satire, constantly barraging you with visual gags and pointed critiques, leaving you both laughing and deeply unsettled by its prophetic vision.
