Well, kinda. The movie paints a dystopian picture of immortality, which could lead a lot of people to say "let's not go there".IMHO, that in of itself is more than enough (for now) as it brings wider awareness to the direction we're ALL heading. Its not some B movie or foreign film. Its a big budget Hollywood film starring A celebrity. In the words of Joe Biden, this is a big fucking deal.

Thought experiment:The future must not be like this in any way. When the technology comes everyone must have an equal chance of become immortal. (Yes it's true the rich will buy it first but it will then become cheap enough so everyone can buy it).

Looks like it might be good, but the story is almost a complete rehash of an old 70s film called logans run. The details differ but the central premise is the same.
Logan's Run is a 1976 science fiction film based on the novel of the same name by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. It depicts a dystopian future society in which population and the consumption of resources are managed and maintained in equilibrium by the simple expediency of killing everyone who reaches the age of thirty, preventing overpopulation. The story follows the actions of Logan 5, a "Sandman," as he "runs" from society's lethal demand.

Will it say that 'yes, there are those who would seek to keep innovations tightly secured for the few, and thus oppress the 'lower classes' from possessing it, and this is wrong, we should instead share the gift with all who would seek it out'

No. We shouldn't.

I think there's a big difference in "kill everyone when they reach 30" and "live forever if you have the money". One is about overpopulation, one is about immortality.

You keep misusing the negative rating system, and then having your buddies, or your alternate account rate you up, like the immature person you seem to be.

^^^ That is, the question was not about what your miniscule opinion of the matter was, it was about how the films plot resolves itself. Learn some reading comprehension.

Immortality for all who want it! Period.

I'm glad we can agree that Dane Cook is not funny.
So, is it too late to be friends? Can we discuss the part about giving "all" immortality? We might both learn a thing or two.
My olive branch.

Why should or shouldn't we provide free anti-aging medicine to everyone in the world?

I missed this one. Great question.
I don't have an issue whether its free or not. My issue is whether it should be made available to everyone at all. It doesn't take a lot of contemplation to see the conundrum in that.
