I liked that one, but I would have to disagree on the mockumentary. I think it was done more on intent of a Socialogical commentary on the differences of culture and technology. however it has been many years since I saw it, and I distinctly remember disliking the sequal. but this I do not think was a satire but an actual Could happen senario due narated in a documentary style.

Then we discover that the coke bottle story is actually just a subplot to another, somewhat less engaging storyline, over which someone in the editting room was clearly getting too carried away with their fast motion switches  . I did quite like the ending though.
