Hi,

Quote:My biggest complaint is it followed more modern stereotype lines: Scientists = good, military = bad, [...]
Heh, look likes that's all up to interpretation. :DMy wife's main complaint about the movie was just the other way around: That until the ex-marine comes and manages to befriend the natives, all the scientists with their PhDs were unable to accomplish much. For example, Sigourney Weaver (forgot her movie character's name) more than once made a snide remark about how much scientific training all the others in their lab have and what the protagonist thinks he can accomplish with his big gun and no training...and lo and behold! Looks like only ex-marines have the good heart to really understand the natives.

The bad guys more represented big corporations than the military, I think.
