Great film, Screechy political propaganda

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2008)

I enjoyed this film despite the fact that it was, from start to finish, a political rant about equality, ecology and xenophobia. I was quite surprised at the lack of Michale Moore's name on it. From scene one the use of terms like "Homeland Security" are aimed directly at the current US position in the Middle East, as are the scenes of "prison camps" and brutality against journalist etc. And, of course, there is the Green rant about the environment and it's supposed connection to worldwide infertility. The story was enjoyable as long as I divorced the obvious politically correct message from an otherwise rather good piece of Science Fiction entertainment.
I guess lots of people like to feed their egos at the cinema and I am sure this one was a self congratulatory pat on the back for all the extremist out there. Well, they can knock themselves out while at least some of us just enjoy the show!
