That, and its fairly well accepted amongst the general population. From what I've seen, that's generally enough reason for you to hate it, haha.
I definitely have one problem with the movie, at the least. I'm never a fan of the formula Kaden mentioned a while back - "This planet has super rare impossible to get resource that is only available on this planet and is closely guarded by or inhabited right on top of by this other group. Somehow we've still put enough effort into studying and perfecting use of this resource despite the clearly limited quantity to justify having an amazing market value and practically requiring us to take the resource from the other group. Additionally, we will take this resource by using so much force and technology that you have to wonder what the actual resource is intended to do that we aren't ALREADY doing."
They even named it "Unobtainium" which was annoyingly apparent.
