My personal boycott doesnt allow me to watch movies or television. But I agree its S3.

Wall*E is both a very cute kid's film and a telling portrait of the world as it might become if we keep up the current stuff we are doing - with massive business corporations basically owning the world and telling everyone what to do/eat/buy. Hopefully it will get people thinking as well as amused, and I think that is what the makers of the film were going for.

Come on -- if you've banned TV and movies from your life (i.e., you will never actually watch this movie) how in the world can you comment on it? Stop furthering this country's overall ignorance.

I really enjoyed the film and plan to see it again. The little robot was quite touching and the overall message concerning corporate greed and power hit the mark. Other themes regarding love, allegiance, friendship and the triumph of life were equally well presented.

It's a cartoon. Sheesh.

umm... are you suggesting that Idiocracy was a bad movie?! It's certainly one of the 21st century's greatest satires so far (along with Team America World Police)... How can you say that it was bad?? What if not Idiocracy do you think constitutes a good satire film from the last decade?

@Marcel: Well, I wouldn't say Idiocracy was "bad," but I wouldn't say it was very good. It had a lot of interesting ideas, but was kind of a mess, don't you think? It devolved from a powerful concept into a kind of plotless slapstick. And I'd say "Team America" had similar problems--moments of brilliance, but overall, a disappointment, unwilling to really follow its arguments to their logical conclusions, preferring instead to just turn around and mock the other side when things got uncomfortable, in a kind of safety-valve cop-out. Again, not to say there weren't some good ideas in both movies, and targets that deserved the mockery. Satire is tough. You need to have an alternate proposition in mind at all times even if it's only implied; otherwise, it just turns into a whole bunch of exaggeration. Both of these movies seemed to suffer under the misconception that satire is automatically funny; great satirical works like Dr. Strangelove are sometimes hilarious but sometimes just shocking; maybe it's their willingness to get serious that makes them great?

Oh, and great recent satire? Borat, Colbert, South Park Bigger Longer & Uncut.

Wall-E is easily the best movie I've seen in a long time. Go to see it. Don't buy popcorn. You'll have plenty of words to eat afterward.

@Party Ben: Jeez... for someone who thinks Lil Wayne and Portishead are geniuses you sure have some pretty high standards for your movies ;) Idiocracy may have felt a bit unfinished due to budgetary restrictions and behind-the-scenes studio conflicts but overall I thought it still worked great given those problems and certainly the plot did not suffer. Your criticisms would be more valid for crap like My Big Fat Independent Movie or even the IMO unfunny Borat (which wasn't courageous enough to rely entirely on unscripted footage), but I think they sell short Idiocracy and Team America... You're not allergic to a little scatology are you?
