And why is it that so many dental professionals evidently survived?

Obviously this will result in the survivors being artists, hair stylists and bloggers.
Dentists?
C'mon. We know they're all soulless cyborgs already.

"This movie would probably be a lot more fun if a part of me wasn't sure that this is what the future will actually look like."

It's too bad our entire lives can't be distilled down to a trailer. Then, even when things get really crappy we could say "It seemed really good in the trailer."

Deep voiced guy: In a word where not enough people like station wagons...
[Cut to soccer moms in a Target parking lot full of SUVs]
DVG : ...one man is trying to make a difference.
[Cue music: Peter Gabriel - "Solsbury Hill"]
Mad_Science (to Mrs_Mad_Science): Hey babe, look at this.
(Shows craigslist add for '67 Ford Country Sedan)
[Cut to scene test driving it, where we hold hands on the bench seat and grin at each other, knowing there's no way we could pass it up]
[Quick shot of counting out $100 bills]
[Start music Reverend Horton Heat: "Galxie 500"]
Cue a montage of assorted engine parts getting swapped out, cruising to the beach with a surfboard on the roof, Mrs_Mad_Science being the coolest (hottest) gal at the market, a few roadtrip scenes and maybe a shot of a tC owner getting embarrassed at a stoplight.
---------------------------------
But in reality, things just seem to drag on and on...
What was a quick fix-up montage takes more like 2-3 years.
Those iconic scenes are bookended by hours of ohcrapwhatjustbroke scramble-fixes and for some reason the steering wheel smells like vomit.
It's all there...but maybe the image has a lot more tedium that goes with it than you were expecting. And for some reason "Highway to Hell" is on the soundtrack.

But don't let that turn you off to the idea.

BTW: I've always felt that AC/DC song would be perfect in a recruitment ad for the Highway Patrol:
No stop signs, speed limits, nobody's gonna' slow me down.
Breathalyzer, whydoncha' blow in it?
Get in the backseat you drunken clown
I'm on the Highway Patrol (darng, darng) Highway Patrol (darng, darng) . . .

I was sure that I was going to hear the noise that the Helicopter in the Transformers (2007) movie made, though
