What I love about the original BR is how every film element contributes to a layered postmodern critique of late capitalism and what is hinted at in the trailer seems to be an attempt at constructing a mythology or grand arc within the BR universe that doesn't jive with the thematic underpinnings of the original.

I thought the "every great civilization requires a disposable work force" and "the world is built on a wall that separates kind. Tell either side there's no wall, and you've bought a war" seemed to be really leaning in those directions. I kind of got the vibe that the movie is going to be the exploration of a super-stratified society, late capitalism transforming into a new slave society policed by brutal enforcers who don't regard their subjects as human. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your criticism.
