Just finished it. My thoughts are that, for all of it's obvious flaws, our system of regulated capitalism has produced the biggest advancement of human civilization, in the shortest period of time, in the history of man. Some acknowledgment of this, amid all of the blasting, would have been nice. I do agree with the filmmakers that as automation and technological advancement continues, labor will eventually be phased out. However, this can't happen completely until the arrival of the age of true artificial intelligence and advanced androids who can perform menial tasks, as well as complex work such as surgery and the like. I don't see how their vision of society can take shape in the near future, but it's certainly very possible within 100 years.
