The author points out that even if the very first moments of the film we can tell that it is different from other movies. Of course this blog talks about how the setting is so different from anything else and how the 3d really makes the movie come to life.He also talks about how the main reason we want to invade the planet is to get resources. He says that this is a metaphor for corporate greed which is relevant because the movie was one the the most expensive to make closely followed by the directors other movie Titanic. Another aspect that the blogger focuses on is how the main character Jake was in the military and how he is recruited for this special meeting. Another military figure is the "bad guy" military commander who is going to take over the planet no if and or buts about it. The blogger states that this can be a metaphor for our war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many people think that we are invading these countries for the oil and not for the benefit to the country itself like we have claimed in the past.
