Colonialism dressed up as sci-fi

Rating: 5/10 (22 March 2018)

This movie could be good, but after watching just 30 minutes, I couldn't help but think that this would be another wish-fulfillment story where indigenous peoples stand up to colonial rule. And that's exactly what it is. Unfortunately history doesn't ever bear this out, and so seeing the blue people of this planet succeed (with the help of the "good" colonials, of course) against militia etc., it was like watching a bad metaphor and left a sour taste in my mouth.
