1. Haven't seen it

But I like alternate history in general -- what I really wanna see is a film version of Stephen Baxter's novel "Voyage," which depicts the buildup to and flight of mankind's first manned mission to Mars . . . in 1986.

5. The faux advertisements were my favorite part.

Some of them are pretty edgy.

6. So far ...I don't know how to take it.

I know it is satire (in an Onion kinda of way)
And it is a good movie..The bigotry is just too fucked up for me to laugh at.

8. It's brilliant. *spoiler*

It is horrifying to watch as a projection of how things could have gone.

And then you learn at the end that all the advertisements are real.
