The scene where the astronaut turns his spaceship around because some corporate flak insists it can be mined definitely resonated with me. "We have to compete with China" being the rationale was just the icing on the cake.

Still, there's a central conceit that Only Americans Matter. The cast is overwhelmingly white, with everyone else treated as comic relief. It's got a strong baseline white supremacist vibe. There's also a great deal of reliance on technology as a magical panacea (the handful of billionaires escaping the Solar System with sci-fi spaceships and cryogenics).

The whole movie felt like an attempt to do Deep Impact But Silly. Bleh.
