Hot take:
With genocide and eugenics on the rise again in the real world, maybe we shouldn't be celebrating a movie whose entire premise is eugenics.
"Here's what horrible things could happen if we continue to let the wrong people breed while the right kind of people breed to little!"
I've always interpreted that movie as the exact opposite. Here's what happens if you replace natural selection with corporate interest. The guy who time traveled was not a genius in his time.
