Having just seen this movie, I'd like to expound upon this a little.
Depsite the obvious amounts of polish and chrome, this piece of art at times wrestles with itself, Let us point out some bugs:
1) I hope that Cameron's family gets eaten by wild dogs.
2) Mid-way through the movie, they estabilsh that the arrows can not pierce the windows of the helicopters. They do this by firing arrows at the helicopters, and having them bounce off. This must mean that the windows are bullet-proof, which would make sense. Then, in the Big Battle, arrows have NO trouble going throw the windows, with enough force left over to kill. Uh-huh. So, the wierd electrical phenomenon also makes the windows brittle as crystal?
3) I hope that the back door through which the wild dogs enter is opened by a good friend of Cameron's.
4) Apparently the Brain-Planet has so much influence over the life-forms that they can turn docile plant-eaters that back down from a single man into terrifying war-beasts that will charge through flames and bullet-fire to mow down several ranks of men.
5) While James Cameron's family is being eaten by wild dogs, I hope the friend that opened the back door explains to him that this is a good thing because "the dogs were here before you and your house were, so it is only right that they return you to the Earth."
6) There is no point number 6.
7) If the Brain-Planet has SO much influence over flora and fauna alike, then why was Hero Guy attacked by wild dogs at the beginning? Why couldn't Gaia just tell them to back off?
8) If the Earth is a dying planet, then why were the humans able to project their power for something other than breathing room? If the Eathlings just needed more space, then why was it just a mining mission and not one of furious colonization?
9) The Blue Indians were obviously the unreasonable ones. The Eathlings offered schools and road in good gestures, and they were handed a disrespectful "FUCK YOU!" I had trouble feeling any pity for the Big Blues. And by 'any' I mean 'any at all'.
10) This has taught only one lesson: The Humans will come back and nuke the entire planet from orbit, since talking to those people only invites hostility. Would there have been such a dramatic victory if, instead of humans, the aliens were first found by, say, a Klingon-like race? If there is one alien species in the universe, then there are many. And not all of them will build schools before asking for some rocks in the ground.
