    Why the need to warn anyone of that? Is it completely slanted? Just out and out untrue?

    The one flaw with this movie, in my mind, is that the moral conflict is too simplified. The main antagonist really is just a caricature. Huge corporation, greedy, evil, manipulative. Environmentalists are altruistic, good, paragons, etc. After the "plot twist", which I did not at all see coming, it becomes way too cliche.

    Its still a fine movie.
