The movie made it depressing. They made it, filmed it, and edited it in a particular story telling fashion to make it depressing. The reason being to persuade viewers down the path which they wanted to lead us down.
I don't care about why they did it that way. I'm only saying that is what they did. I don't see it as activism. For me, it was ultimately fear based. And, in my opinion, the actual practical result is not the picture they paint.
Based on this movie we have a huge powerhouse acting on the entire world. Part of its power is supposedly derived by creating an army of persons that regulate one another by holding one another to a set of desires dictated from the powerhouse. The conclusion is that we should hold one another to a standard set by the desires of the persons making the video, and that by doing this we will defeat the powerhouse. .... I know how to spot a losing team when I see one.
That being said, I could watch the first thirty minutes many times. It alone was inspiring.
