I can already imagine, in my mind, the average self-important middle school teacher who has to discuss environmental issues in class and, instead of preparing a lesson, decides to show the class this short movie and invites the students to debate on how profound it supposedly is.
I wouldn't mind too much an obvious message and a relatively superficial degree of understanding of the world, if at least the plot devices used to convey it were vaguely original. Instead, we get a plot essentially recycled from the beginning of Douglas Adams's "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (even though I wouldn't be surprised if it had been done earlier).
Stylistically well-done, though.
