In the beginning I wasn't very impressed. Sure, there are some fun gadgets and nice settings, it's properly filmed (though it could have done with some more close-ups here and there) and it has some funny moments, but Coburn isn't the ideal spoof agent in my opinion (though he gets away with it) and the story isn't all that interesting.
But the fun increases, there's more and more fun gadgets and some amazing settings (especially within the volcano), the story is quite inventive (I checked, but the Club of Rome wasn't founded until two years later, and I wonder how much environmental issues were 'seriously' being addressed here) and Coburn grew on me; check out his confrontation with the Bald Eagle, his de-programming slogan ''You are not a pleasure unit.'' (only to end up with five beautiful units swarming around him) and his inventive fighting abilities (or simply hiding in plain sight) - it's pretty much hilarious.
There are some interesting things brought forward in the topic 'Were the scientists actually well-intentioned?', but I find it hard to read this one; it appeals to too many different sides of a human being to be a proper pamphlet of any kind. But it's not really a problem; it's a lot of fun and if you want to think about it, you can do that as well.
