Terrible and Offensive

These people DESTROY CIVILIZATION and their actions would have undoubtedly lead to the deaths of millions if not billions of lives... and yet we NEVER see them giving serious consideration to their guilt.

What's more, throughout the movie, their hair is always perfectly trimmed and set, their nails are perfectly manicured, the beards on the men are neatly trim, even their clothes never show one bit of fray...

And as the world crumbles around them (at their doing), they argue about romantic nonsense from 10 years ago.

And in the end they get to create some mini-utopia?

Seriously? What is this movie supposed to convey except that they were self absorbed and detached from the world around them, and from their own role in the larger society? And by extension their entire generation?

'These people' are not present in the movie, just mentioned once in passing.

The spam guy did what many do every day, try a DDOS-like attack to overload the mobile network--might knock a few ISPs offline for a few hours.

The hacker girl did what many do every day, try to break into someone's computer. She apparently broke spam guy's security system in the process, and then "These people" took advantage of that to do the real damage.
