MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness: the hardness of a sci-fi doesn\\\'t have to do anything with what methods of killing sentient beings, but how much it adheres to real-life (scientific) rules. Stuff like Warhammer40000 is on the softer side considering how \\\"out-there\\\" the plot is, and Avatar turns out to be pretty hard when you dig deep. But how solid a sci-fi story is doesn\\\'t determine quality, only preference.
If you\\\'re suggesting \\\'hard\\\' sci-fi in a mature sense, then that\\\'s just preference. Some people are fine watching sci-fi without orbital bombardment of planets, wholesale genocide, or perpetual war.
Also, a lot of the [[AllThereInTheManual additional readings]] for the movie pretty much refute every \\\"[[HumansAreBastards Humans should have been bigger bastards than in the movie by doing X]]\\\" idea. Treaties that limit spacial military power and prohibits [=WMD=]s, difficulty in transporting actual modern-age weapons to Pandora (something about ferro-magnetic weaponry), RDA is a business not a military force, etc.
