Unpopular opinion:
"Insurrection" would be an almost perfect movie, if the Ba'ku were more convincing.
It is essentially a smarter version of the original "Avatar".
Imagine the Ba'ku being these blue, cat-like beings, one with the nature, and the entire planet being that underwater-like magical forest, lush, blooming, mysterious, black-light poster environment. Suddenly all the characters' actions make sense.
The movie's main message - "hardship for the many, to protect the life of the few" seems rightful, if "the few" are such a unique, mysterious, exemplary minority worth protecting, and the whole planet the equivalent of a majestic national park. Hell, Avatar 2 straight up steals INS McGuffin!
But alas, instead the Ba'ku are just some boring humans living in a hippie village on some hills, and the whole movie's allegory comes crashing and burning down...
