One of my thoughts at the end of the film: has he set it for a sequel? Given the penchant Holywood has for franchises, well, that might be too obvious, and given how well it is doing.
One of the core motivators of the plot is the 'New Gold', with its Underzo style name, is so incredibly rare and expensive. Is the big corporation going to let it go at that? The home team, relying on the native fauna as their killer weapon, managed to kick a small battle group/ colony defenders off world. Surely the, I assume, big mining companies are not going to let it go at that...
I decided to write this in response to a post on one of Jennifer Jacquet's science blogs, guilty planet, where she equated the movie to a conservationists dream. Maybe it is, but like too many conservation dreams there is are big question left unanswered. Biggest of all What happens when demand for unobtanium grows? The land has already proven hostile; are any new operations going to bother with a fair agreements, or respect the choices of the rightful owners of the Pandora jungle people.
To get it out of the way: It was fun, and the graphics were amazing. Was it worth the price tag, looks like it.
