Granted it's just the viewpoint of one of the prisoners but it's the one I found most intriguing. To quote the movie: "Nobody knew what it was, nobody cared...there is no conspiracy, nobody is in charge. It's a headless blunder operating under the illusion of a master plan...somebody might have known sometime before they got fired, voted out, or sold it...this is an accident, a forgotten perpetual public works project. You think anybody asked questions? All they want is a clear conscience and a fat paycheck."
That's awesome sci-fi right there. It's a bit campy, but it's campy in the same way that all great social commentary is, until it isn't and it's too late.
