I felt like he was blatantly going for it with the 80's movies in the intro, everything during the theater scene other moviegoers included, the music, etc. What saved it imho is that his almost attempt/redemption scenes and other serious shit were played straight through so those cheesy scenes didn't fuck with the goodness you mentioned below:

That it is. I also loved two things on top of what you mentioned

1)Them showing us basically Elliot's first psychic break and the 'birth' of Mr. Robot
2)Goddamn, that heavy handed time travel tease. Its such a troll but I love it. Speaking of teases, lol@ the theater scene where he had us thinking that the kid might have been another imaginary Elliot friend
