This movie is supposed to make a point. And it is well made. Laughter, laughter is indeed necessary, when you are telling such a story, with such a powerful truth under it.
Some things should never be political.
We are missing that point even as it hits us in the face. In some things we should be united, strong, and let our ego's go. Let our ideologies go.
We are becoming more and more controllable. These ideas, attached to our ego's are doing that. Ideas and ideologies should be challengeable.
As for the movie, it is up there with Idiocracy. Signs of things that can become true if we are not careful. I cannot predict the future. Nobody can. But we can get glimpses of possible ones.
This is of course political satire, and it is sometimes brash, sometimes elegant. And it can be funny and entertaining, or terrifying, especially if you understand the volatile nature of the cosmos.
Are we as inept as this movie portrays us ? And I mean as a whole, as a species. I like to think we are not. But I'm also sure there are scientists out there feeling like the protagonists, even as we speak. And that's depressing really.
