The general idea of the movie is good and some ideas in particular are well developed:
However, I find many issues:
1) There are some naive, false (and even dangerous) ideas like:
Furthermore, if 'there is a group of people who run the world who does not allow people to take the power', then there is no point of doing anything at all... I mean, why would you try to do something if there is someone above you who doesn't allow to implement your idea? For many time, Árbenz in Guatemala proved that statement false... such as Roldós in Ecuador... such as Torrijos in Panamá... such as Hussein in Iraq... such as Chávez in Venezuela...
"The Venus Project" appears to be interesting, but how would it be implemented dispense with both politics and politicians?
2) Seems like we, the people, are all stupid and, hence, guilty for our ignorance... So, the blame is on the people? Really? Let me give you an advice: if you want to change people's behavior, you get nothing by calling them 'stupids' or things like that. It's not really effective...
3) The 'no State' final objective (developed in 'The Venus Project' proposal: 'the State does nothing becasue there's no State') is very similar from the Rumsfeld-Cebrowski strategy... That coincidence must ring any bells.
- the imperialism and the 'corporatocracy' (thanks John Perkins).
- the world financial system.
- the relation between the US State and the FED.
However, I find many issues:

- 'Politicians are all corrupt'.
- 'Politicians are useless'.
- 'True problems in life are technical, not political'.
- 'Reject the political system'.
