I watched the entire film, and I both loved and hated it. I found the part about our financial system very educational and enlightening. But the
crap about the venus project was a joke to me. I would not want to live in that type of society where everything was homogeneous and all daily tasks
were automated. Too boring. I like diversity too much to buy into that system. That guy who heads that venus project was your typical cult leader.
He reminded me of the guy who led the heavens gate cult who all committed suicide to take a ride in the comet. Cut out all the venus project malarkey
and you have a good film.
