No you didn't get it.
The message is that we should not let it ever get to that stage in the first place, by being consumed by consumerism and neglecting basic care for the planet we live on.
And the humans of the future are not shown to be something to aspire to, at least I didn't think so: Fat, lazy, no ambition, and unable to do anything without the help of machines. I don't know about you but I don't want me or my grandchildren to end up like that.
Yes everything worked out ok in the end, because it's a Disney film, that how they tend to go. But by returning to Earth humans had to essentially start civilisation all over again, that what you see in the end credits.
I hope that 700 years into the future we have continued to advance as a species, culturally and technologically, while at the same time looking after the planet. Anything that forces us to leave Earth or start civilisation again is a bad thing.
That's the message I took.

No you didn't get it.
You don't even understand that I didn't explain my view.
Just how I see other people might look at it. Please read more closely.
That's the message I took.
Great. But you don't see that the simpler minds will get it wrong?
So I wouldn't give this movie too much credit.
It's "a decent science-fiction story." (Roger Ebert)

Some people 'might' get the wrong message about any film. Are you suggesting the film-makers have been irresponsible here?
