Mike Simmons wrote:...but thinking about it after, it's not terribly original; just a mishmash of elements from elsewhere, with a fairly simple good-guys-vs-bad-guys setup and a big Hollywood ending.
Thanks,

Unobtanium is a superconductor, in the movie the BEST superconductor. Superconductors can float in the presence of a magnetic field. Mountains on Pandora are apparently loaded with unobtanium so can float in the powerful magnetic pockets that dot the moon's surface. The film shows these magnetic fields can interfere with technology, just as they would in real life.

And in case it isn't obvious, there are many, many, MANY spoilers in the article.

How original. It was a very old plot when Shakespeare used it 400 years ago in Romeo and Juliet. Perhaps with a bit of The Taming of the Shrew thrown in. Or any of literaly thousands of movies.
