avatar, the movie.

Do they really think that kicking the humans off the planet will achieve ANYTHING? This is humans we are talking about. It's more than likely that the whole planet gets nuked a few months later out of revenge.

It mentioned that Earth was dying. What if humanity absolutely needed the unobtanium? Did he just fuck over the whole human race to protect one tribe? It seemed pretty damn valuable. Only the most stereotypically evil businessman would do it for the cash, at least in the manner they did.

Was war really necessary? He killed tons of soldiers who were only there because it was their job. It's not their fault they were led by walking insane military stereotype man. Like, geez, why not just leak something to the press weeks earlier? That always raises a shitstorm that will put pressure on them. Sigourney Weaver was at least trying to find a better solution.

The rhino-create stampede was such a ridiculous deus ex machina.

HOW DO ARROWS PIERCE THROUGH THE GLASS? THIS IS THE FUTURE! WE CAN MAKE GLASS THAT CAN WITHSTAND BULLETS!

he sad thing is, if not for the over-the-top he forces upon you, this movie would have a VERY big instance of moral grey. The wasteland of Earth? It's over-populated by about 20 billion people. The ruined ecosystem? Because nuclear plants were spat out all over the place to deal with energy demands, with predictable hollywood results.

How could this be turned moral grey? Unobtanium fixes ALL OF IT, at least partially / slightly. It allows near-FTL travel, meaning humans can get off the rock and colonize other planets in other star systems. It allows FTL communication, meaning policing and supply management is a possibility (allowing more people to be transported off-earth). Lastly, it's a room temperature super-conductor meaning less energy required (more efficient transfer), and less energy saturation. The less energy required means less nuclear plants, which means less nuclear run-off. Less nuclear plants due to the super-conductors and less nuclear plants due to evacuating people. Heck, let us assume that only 1% of the population is viable for evacuation in the next 50 years, or 5 journeys from Earth to Pandora to Earth again. That's still 200,000,000, or THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF BRAZIL that is removed from the planet. Hell, assuming an equal population / nuclear plant ratio, that's still roughly 175 nuclear power plants offline just from the evacuation. Assuming a simple 10% efficiency increase from a ROOM TEMPERATURE SUPER CONDUCTOR, and again a population / nuclear plant ratio similar to france, that's a further 1740 nuclear power plants shut down. In other words, giving "just" 1% of Earth's population relocated to off-world colonies and "just" a 10% efficiency increase in nuclear plants from a room temperature super conductor, a little under 2000(!) nuclear power plants would be shut down, with an average of at least 47500 tonnes of nuclear waste no longer produced YEARLY.

Person part of Faction A is made to join Faction B to learn about them, Person likes Faction B better, Faction A attacks, Person confesses, Faction B hates him, Person proves his loyalty and leads Faction B to victory, and all is well, The End.
