There's a surprising amount of cool worldbuilding in idiocracy - there's no oil so all the cars are electric, and the only reason their society doesn't collapse completely is because things like medicine and basic maintenance are handled by long lasting expert systems and robots. The stock market and banking system is completely self running and just spits out everyones earnings and net worth, and no-one thinks to question it.

Everything about this movie was amazing; it's a shame it bombed so badly at the box office.
Edit: details of the "bomb" in this comment.
