I think you're all over reacting. The script itself is probably not half as bad as the write up. I like the idea of the military trading humans for technology, or just to be left alone.
No, it really is that bad...

It's recently been put in the public domain, although we had it for a while before that.
The depressing thing is that, even in the most recent interview, the guy says that they "don't know" if they're going to use this or a completely new idea. That means that he
still can't tell how horridly attrocious this is and apparently thinks all it needs is a bit of a polish, even in his most sober waking moments.
Now, remember, he's done some decent stuff, like '
The Faculty', but that was written by other people, just like Anderson did '
Event Horizon', but his own written material's not all that great. Even the latter, though, is miles ahead of this.
Above all, remember that other interviews
have confirmed that this treatment is the one which got the project greenlit. Whoever's in charge literally read
this version and thought it would be fantastic to give a full budget for and see on screen.
