I just got back from the movie here are some thoughts
1. Humans are the bad guys. Well the military is, the scientists are all good guys. Cliché lines like tree hugger, sock and awe and a few others can be found throughout the movie.
2. The natives are obviously patterned after Native Americans in speech, belief, and action. They even ride horses.
3. The visual was stunning, but over the top. Every fricken plant glowed like one of those cheesy fiber optic plants from the 80s
4. The flying sequences were awesome.\
5. Military guys are contractors.
6. They were hired by the company
The movie did have a condescending tone, and a self loathing manner. It took away from what could have been a great flick. You dont leave the movie feeling like a winner. Unless youre a lib.
BTW humans have badly designed weapon delivery systems and unit tactics that would be considered poor form in a paintball match.
The plot was oblivious and acted to a mediocre standard. Its Dances with Wolves, Aliens, and Battle of the Little Bighorn all in one.
Nuke the site from orbit, its the only way to be sure.
