Yes, this! I enjoyed this movie enough that I feel the need to emerge from my usual lurker state and agree with you, because this type of worldbuilding is what made it so cool.

My only complaint about the movie was that it would have been more awesome with more time on worldbuilding/character explanation and less time on blowing things up (which could mean shifting editing on what was already there but would be even better if it were part of a trilogy). Because then you could get more science, which usually isn't a plus in SF movies because the science is so bad. But with what science they did fit into the movie, I would believe that given more time, they would not have made the science worse.

And then we would have more time for bee wings.
