| FaRmLaNd said: I was rooting for the humans. I wanted them to wipe out the tribals. The spiritualism pissed me off as did the fact that they thought the humans were stupid. Not advisable considering they were smart enough to travel to another planet. But then again supiriority via mysticism always pisses me off. Let alone the Deus Ex Machina at the end. How pradictable, the humans lose and "they go back to their dying planet". I highly doubt that, the humans would be back in a month and own all the aliens from orbit. Actually thats reminds we, why didn't they bomb the navi from orbit again? BTW I actually really enjoyed the movie. But the plot was very much predictable and safe. The film functions as a visual feast, but as a narrative it didn't make any impact on me. |
...It takes us six years to make that trip to Pandora, so it'd be a dozen years, bare minimum, before humans came back. But they won't be coming back, because it has already proven itself a bad investment, and there's no reson to come back when the cost outweighs the benefit.
Why didn't they bomb them from orbit? This group may have some military ordinance but it's not the military. Whether or not they had the equipment for military bombardment and whether or not tht would have harmed he material they were seeking out is never made clear but it's safe to assume no for the former or yes for the latter, or just tht there's a degree of subhuman barbarism to which the people of this corporation won't sink. I can't imagine rooting for the colonials, here, much less rooting for them to commit genocide.
And.... superiority via mysticism wasn't really the point. The true threat (the outfitted shuttle that had been turned into a giant bomb) was taken out by a Marine using two grenades and a missile. Remember?
