I never got the supposed gutpunch of the movie. The real world is dying and there is no hope. There hasn't been, not meaningfully, since I was born.

As a movie it is fine but the premise just left me cold because it had a bunch of people recognize it and be sad. No one would recognize it. I knew that when I saw it in the theater. There would just be FOXNEWS klaxons about how selfish the new generation was and how they are refusing to have kids in favor of hedonistic sex.

I actually find this to be an interesting perspective. I'd be curious how old you are, I could see a lot of younger viewers who come to the movie nowadays tending towards this. I definitely think there's an argument that for as bleak as the world the movie presents is, it probably pales in comparison to what we're in for in the coming decades (although I also think the movie is definitely playing with the imagery of what future resource wars might look like).

I'm 40 fwiw. I saw it when it came out.
