That wasn't sci-fi. That was a future documentary!
I’m not even so sure about the future part.
” ‘Idiocracy’? That wasn’t Sci-Fi. That was a future documentary!”
Which brings up the interesting question: what is the difference between Science Fiction (SF) and Sci-Fi? Most movies are sci-fi. According to Robert Heinlein, science fiction SHOULD be something like a future documentary, or docu-drama. Select a scientific, technological or social development; extrapolate into the future, and develop the kind of society which would result; insert a believable, personable, identifiable POV character, and explore/expose the world through your character’s story.
“Idiocracy” sounded and looked like a re-write/version of “The Marching Morons,” which had a much darker ending.
