have anyone read the novel that the (original) movie is based on? Midworld by A.D.Foster
it ended quite abruptly (i think the author just got sick of it) and in a deus ex machina way but still better than the movie where the primitives suddenly became on par with non-primitives because plot armor.
>>213529003 >Midworld is a planet entirely covered by a rain forest three-quarters of a kilometer (almost half a mile) tall. Born is a member of the primitive human society that has lived peacefully on Midworld for hundreds of years, careful not to disturb the natural balance of the jungle. His people live in a gigantic tree called the Home Tree. When they die, they are ceremonially buried in another gigantic tree of a species called They-Who-Keep. Each of the locals forms a lifetime bond with a powerful and intelligent photosynthetic animal called a furcot. When they need to damage a plant they are familiar with, they communicate with it empathetically ("emfoling") to make sure it does not object. >The world is disrupted by the arrival of an exploitative business venture from Earth whose representatives know nothing of the delicate stability of the planet. A man and a woman from this company crash in their aircraft near Born's home. He, a fellow hunter named Losting (both hunters are in love with the tribe's most beautiful girl), and their furcots lead the castaways safely through the jungle's surprising dangers to their station. >Born realizes that the newcomers are on his world to gain a life-extending drug from the burls formed by the They-Who-Keep trees around buried people. Horrified by this discovery and the invaders' callousness toward living beings, he uses native plants and animals to destroy their station. In the final fight Losting is killed, but Born returns to the Home Tree. Losting's brain and mind are absorbed to form part of a developing planet-wide network of consciousness involving They-Who-Keep and the furcots.
If I was Alan Dean Foster I would fucking sue. I knew Cameron was a hack but not this much of a hack.

id say its 40% similar, depends on you how you look at it. Probably could be sued but the studio gangsters have bigger pockets.
The underlying mother gaia bullshit story isnt that original, all of hollywood and the west in general had been cumming in their pants from that concept for decades, since the hippies.

Thanks for reminding me trannies who use filters exist, I will make sure my threads bypass not just word filters but the image ones as well.
