Minor nitpick- shouldn't have had the date 2016 on the movie, it is timeless.

I thought the date choice was brilliant: far enough out to separate it from current politics, near enough to make it a credible projection of current trends. The airline industry has been destroyed by high fuel prices ($37.50/gallon), so the crumbling railroad system is the only viable means of commercial transportation. A few valiant industrialists strive to keep the railroads running despite the predations of the government and other moochers.

If you liked it, maybe go rate it on imdb.com.

“I thought the date choice was brilliant”

The other significance of 2016 IMHO is that it accurately forecasts where we’ll be if we re-elect Obama.

It is fine today, but what about in 2016 or 2017 or 2030?
