México 2000 presents an intentionally jarring, satirical utopia where the chronic social and political issues of 1980s Mexico have been completely eradicated. In this vision of the year 2000, the country has become a global superpower defined by perfect civic virtue, extreme efficiency, and the absence of social inequality. The film functions as a "reverse-dystopia," using the absurdity of a perfect society to highlight the depth of the real-world problems it claims to have solved.

The societal dynamics are characterized by a total shift in national character. Corruption is non-existent, the police are unnecessary because there is no crime, and the traditional bureaucracy has been replaced by streamlined, helpful systems. On Earth, Mexico is depicted as the cultural and political center of the world, with foreign powers looking to it as a model for progress. Unlike many sci-fi contemporaries that focus on hardware, this film's future is built on a radical moral and educational transformation of the populace.

The film's predictions serve as a biting critique of the real-world outcomes of the turn of the century. While the movie envisioned total literacy and the end of the 'mordida' (bribery), the actual year 2000 in Mexico was marked by a historic but turbulent political transition. The "prediction" of Mexico becoming a space-faring energy giant contrasts sharply with the economic struggles of the late 20th century. Ultimately, the film suggests that a utopian future is only possible through a fundamental change in human behavior, a goal it treats with deep, comedic skepticism.
