It’s not remotely anti-American.Anti-Consumer (trash will kill the planet?), anti-capitalist (evil space corporation doesn't want anyone to sneak out of their captive business model, so they are bad guys?)....name me a theme in the movie that's not identical to something of which Michael Moore wouldn't do in a documentary in space?

In the film there was one gloabl 'benevolent' corporation/government, that doesn't sound like capitalism to me.

It’s about the need for individuality and not waiting for some unseen impersonal ruler to run your life for you. It’s in the tradition of Brave New World and 2001.

God said to be good stewards along with having dominion. What part of that message is incorrect? Overconsumption, wastefulness, blind obedience to consumerism, and sloth are hardly conservative principles.
Fighting for what you beleive in is not.
The humans shown here have been lied to from the get-go. Until they were shown the truth, they didn't know what was going on. I actually saw a pretty conservative message (self-reliance vs. relying on someone/something else) come out of it at the end.
