It showed up out of nowhere, made the most bank in history (for a movie), refused to explain and disappeared for like 15 years, then came back out of nowhere with a sequel movie, a AAA game, and like 3 more movies in the works.

Edit: I think it now has like a Lego line too?

          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.

              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.

      Nah. Even if you had the ability to shatter a planet (it would take a lot more mass hitting the planet than that of every automobile ever made) it would just clump back together after a while because, ya know, gravity. And now you’ve sloshed everything around in a molten mess so it’s even harder to process.
