Somehow anti-corporation and also anti-poor people.
I wish I could remember who recommended this to me so I could text them a sad face.

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.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A caustic time-travel satire that accelerates through a dystopian future where humanity has devolved into stupidity, landing two accidentally cryogenically frozen Americans as the smartest beings alive. It's a blunt, cynical comedy that swings for social commentary and rarely lets up on the provocation.
