Tyralak 12,068 Posted November 3, 2009 This looks like an interesting movie. What I find particularly fascinating, is that it shows what is really likely to happen if Humanity were to come across a less advanced civilization. Forget the "We come in peace" "Prime Directive" fairy tales. This is who we are, as a species. Unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Airlocke 12,014 Posted November 3, 2009 Up top. That's what the thread was about, actually. The new James Cameron movie. I was perfectly aware. Cameron's movie does look decent, yet, from the previews, it looks as if it is glorifying the American way killing everything that isn't us. I do not like it.

I thought it appeared as a condemnation of the way we and many other countries have behaved in the past. Sort of a cautionary tale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The preview I saw definitely portrayed the humans as the heroes. I haven't watched the one you posted, can't at the moment. Might be different trailers.

Superanna 0 Posted November 4, 2009 This one has the humans as the villains and the heroes. Kind of a washitu vs Indian tale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legendm 1 Posted November 4, 2009 The preview I saw definitely portrayed the humans as the heroes. I haven't watched the one you posted, can't at the moment. Might be different trailers. There is clearly a division. At first we are the villains, but then it shows a group of humans that are trying to stop them once they realize what is going on. I was perfectly aware. Cameron's movie does look decent, yet, from the previews, it looks as if it is glorifying the American way killing everything that isn't us. I do not like it. Nothing in your head gave you a hint that was not what he was making. I mean seriously, this is James Cameron we're talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
