I guess you skipped the first half of the movie. You might be exactly who the movie is making fun of.
No I've seen the entire film, and believe that at potent a satire it is.
It fails for two reasons
The future is that one where corporate oligarchy took over everything, dumbed down the population to the point of dumbing down their own posterity, and end up dooming all of society for immediate profit. None of the high paying or necessary jobs are getting done. It's not the future we've reached, its the one we're en route to, the time line we're on, right down to the crocs.
Your optimistic turn out relies on some dope from now getting cryogenicly frozen, then forgotten about, who accidentally wakes up a few hundred years in the future.
You've seen the movie put didn't pay attention to it. Your death hill is a dumb one.
