I should have seen this coming, mind you, as the same thing happens when I wear sunglasses.there is very much a anti-war, anti-imperialism theme to it,
I was thinking about that on the way back from the theater, since that's what everyone says. That's when I came to a different conclusion.
It's not about anti-imperialism at all.
Basically, it's just a big ass pull.
Pandora is a gigantic living organizm... a big superbrain with it's own independent conciousness. The flora of the planet act as the central nervous system while the fauna (animals and navi) act as red and white blood cells. The Navi pray to the central intelligence, which they call Eywa. The navi, living in their environment, have no real need to develop anything other than basic technology since they coexist as part of a greater organism and thus bond perfectly to everything else on the planet- The same way white blood cells don't constantly attack your red blood cells.
Humans, on the other hand, come from Earth, which unlike Pandora is just a rock with stuff on it. In order for humans to advance, we built technology to harness the environment, and when humans multiplied enough they had to leave to find new resources.
So the humans go to Pandora, and treat the planet as if it was Earth, and the Navis as if they were humans. The Navis and Eywa treat the humans as if they were foreign anti-bodies (thus trying to kill them with megafauna) until the humans develop Avatars (which operate like the AIDS virus) to infiltrate the Navi's civilization.
Ultimately, things come to a head and the Humans fight the Navis, curb stomping them with vastly superior firepower that was designed specifically to overcome the balance that the Navis assume is a universal standard.
Then the planet retaliates by comes alive to drive out the humans, who just then, at the end, figure out how rediculously in over their heads they are. It's a curbstomp in reverse, with THE ENTIRE PLANET fighting a couple hundred humans.
HAHAHA! Get it? It's not about imperialism, respect, or ecology at all!
It's the same moral of the story as the movie Aliens:
DON'T SCREW AROUND WITH CRAZY ALIEN SHIT!!
