> it is basically advocating some kind of population control or eugenics policy I think this says more about the viewer than the film.

  The problem it raises is: only idiots are having kids so in the future everyone is an idiot. The opening scene is literally a generic portrayal of trailer trash having 8 kids and you didn’t get that implication at all? Wow your a real saint. What did you think the implications of the film were?

    That is indeed the "problem" that forms the premise of the film. It doesn't however go on to either propose or advocate a solution, instead exploring one projection to absurdity from it's premise. If you watched it and came away with a feeling it was pro-eugenics, you are absolutely projecting your own details onto the film.

      I guess you just consume media with no thoughts or responses to it.

    You could also view it as a satire of that very idea - here's this absurd future that people are afraid of, it'd suck, but anyone who believes in this being a realistic possibility is likely a fool. No society could actually run if humans devolved to that level and very, very few people are as unintelligent as the characters in that film.
