If you cut out the "ZOMG world government conspiracy" / oppression overtones, it's actually pretty factual.
Religions are copycats, Christian mythology is based on age-old crap, the banks do follow purely economical interests, etc etc.
But the point is moot. There's no conspiracy. Nobody tries to take over the world. Everyone's just being selfish and short-sighted, propagating their ideologies with whatever means they have available.
As for the 9/11 thing -- yeah, the US government probably supported it, passively (by letting it happen) or actively (by faking the whole thing), but it doesn't matter.
Governments aren't autonomous beings detached from the populace, they are TOOLS. They serve to protect their citizens and their citizens' liberties.
Yes, economical superpowers (banks, etc) do exploit the system at the expense of the populace, but there's no menace involved -- they are merely competing with each other, struggling on the big scale like everyone else does on the smaller scale.
The flick aims to raise the viewer's consciousness for a couple of things, but it fails utterly because it tries to connect the dots and force its own interpretation on the audience.
The morale? Think for thyself.
I found the astrotheological background of modern Christianity rather interesting in particular, btw.
