Cont... (Accidentally pushed the submit button) doh!! First of all, this movie is relatively consistent with a book that was never meant to be taken as the 'holy bible' of sci-fi. Its about monkies vs. man, or the individual vs. the corporation, or mensche vs. ubbermensche... of course its all spelled out plain as day, its supposed to be that way, really! Getting it comes from not taking it for what it isn't, but for what it is. If you want to pick on the fact that cave-men learn how to fly harriers in seven days through a flight simulator which has been mysteriously powered for a thousand years by some magic generator than you miss the campy-sci-fi-let-it-go-for-once sort of point. I watch sci-fi and this is 'way' up there in many regards.... (watching sci-fi late and early...)
