I don't think it's about how wonderful humanity is - I think it's a film about how crap humanity is in general, and how as individuals we shouldn't let that stand. I found it to have very little to do with the future, and a lot to do with the past and present - like most good sci-fi, it's allegorical for us, not some speculative descendants a century from now.
