The army guys were really just mercenaries, so why not just hire a crapload more of them and firebomb the hell out of the aliens. It's not like they're people. Think about how much money all that mineral under the tree is worth.

The same sort of thing that is stopping the US from dropping nukes all over the middle east to harvest oil, the fact that there is intelligent life and that people know that (it can be assumed that people would know there is intelligent life on the planet after the company was run off).

You have no love of satire. Boo-hoo.

Way to jump to conclusions. It's one thing to like satire. It's another to like it when some director signs on for a movie based off of a book he never read, reads part of it, decides he doesn't like it, and instead of stepping down for someone that will actually do something with the book, gets together with his buddy from Robocop and shits out some generic satire that has nothing to do with the book. I liked the book.
Do you like Vonnegut? What would your reaction be if they made a film adaptation of Cat's Cradle, and made it into a light-hearted kid's movie?
Kugai:
Exactly
It's one thing to make a lighthearted satire or humorous movie off a classic, it's another thing to take said classic and butcher is so much that you wouldn't mind getting your hands on a Powered Armour suit and chase Verhoven down in it.
