I watched this film several years ago (while suffering from food poisoning). While much was silly (why did people walk backwards before killing themselves?), it had a few good points. One is when Elliot speaks respectfully to what turns out to be a plastic plant (and notes that he's doing it). The other is the message that nature can turn on us if we continue to do as we want with it; consider all the changes noted, especially with regard to 2020's massive forest fires and unusually heavy hurricane season.
