Comment on Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise

  A planet with air they can’t breathe and with life forms that want them dead…

    Eyup. Pretty much. There was something about Pandora being the only planet with life they found, and since Earth cannot sustain life anymore…

    This was explained in the second movie.

      But the moon itself supports life just fine (we contaminated it back when we landed on the moon); we have grown plants on the moon successfully. Are the sci-fi writers explicitly ignoring what we have known for decades to justify a poorly thought out plan to do a search and replace movie?

        The Moon isn’t a pressurised environment with a full ecosystem. And considering how developed and gridlocked Earth is, and that interstellar travel is possible, why do you assume the moon hasn’t already been colonised?

        Or Mars? Or Titan?

        An artificial ecosystem doesn’t, and will never, compare to an organically evolved one.
