Not clear cut right or left. Themes about environmentalism (Food supply is down just growing corn), but also defends Americans as explorers.
It's a dust bowl like we had in the Midwest during the 1930s.
The film does not go into why it was happening.
That was how I saw it as well...a bit of a mixed bag, and because of that, the inconsistency was distracting, IMO.
I have never been a huge fan of Matthew McConaughey, and I didn’t really appreciate his performance. Too mumbled to me. But I liked his portrayal as a dinosaur.
Really hit home for me in that aspect...:)
