...and the Meek shall inherit the Earth, according to Matthew 5:5; that is, until the Rich come back to reclaim it. Failing to seed the Cosmos with "the very best" of human stock, they return with their tails tucked between their legs and begin preying on the surviving primitives that were supposed to have died. Even on this water world of a planet, they go back to their old imperial games of conquest and enslavement.
This film is ultimately a quiet celebration of the status quo. There's this cheesy litany for solidarity cited by the returning descendants of the killer elite who forsook Mother Earth when she was at her worst; they quote it a couple of times hoping to dignify their nefarious plans of reconquest. Don't be fooled by it! I couldn't give this film a score any higher than a 3 and it has convinced me to take a long deserved break from the dystopian.
