  Well that's a little misleading... while some characters fit your description (although I'd say uncaring, rather than vicious) others do not. The film is fairly clearly pro science and pro-investigation/exploration....

  Maybe the pro space community can use the technology demonstrated in the movie to create Avatars of the ideal pro space President, NASA administrator, Congress and the American public!; then, like the marine in the movie, they can live out an idyllic life of space adventure through their Avatars, going where no one has indeed gone before!...

  Like the ALIEN franchise before it, the movie shows the potential (as well as the pitfalls) of space exploration. It glorifies the tools... but I suspect most of the folks who watched the movie would have used them differently....

  I saw it in Imax 3D; it is very impressive and entertaining. Worth seeing, but don't wait for it on the small screen. --WARNING: Plot spoilers follow.-- I agree with the comments that the story is a bit silly though. It would be nice to live in an idillic world were you have a USB plug in your hair that you can just plug into a tiger's hair to tell him not to eat you but attack your enemies or plug into a bird's feathers to tell him to take you for a ride or plug into a tree's leaves...

  The problem with evolution is its about more than just a creatures success, but how it interacts every other creature. Life already co-evolves so I cut the writers some slack there. If we step off a ship onto an alien world we are entirely out of the loop. With no natural immunity to anything aside from the fact we may be so strange that we're inedible to the locals. That part seemed reasonable. Really I wanted more detail about earth and its future governments position on the space elves. If we're so hard up for a few rocks, why not...
