Which Would You See?

In mine we call it Dances with Wolves, in Space!

Jake Sully is Kevin Costner's character John Dunbar/Dances with Wolves; both Jake and John leave behind their lives and world (after suffering leg injuries) to venture off into an unknown land, make friends with the native peoples, fall in love with their culture, their way of life and their women, turn against their former allies to defend the natives and ultimately choose to join the natives permanently.

Been there, done that. Unless you have a completely new take on the vampire trope (like District 9 did to alien invasion movies, IMO) than don't kick this horse anymore. It's dead. It's been dead for years. You can look up the death date of this trope: it was the release date for Twilight.

Quote:Idea 2: In the distant future, a team consisting of both scientists and military personnel explore distant unknown space and land on a planet with an Earth-like atmosphere with multiple intelligent alien species, some hostile and some potentially friendly, some primitive and others advanced. There are spaceships, robots, and advanced AI. Also there are some nasty alien diseases. And in turn, some Earth diseases ravage the locals on the planet.

This is interesting but I'd want to know more of the story. How is this story going to be different than all the other stories that involve space exploration, forging new inter-species relations and pandemic disease movies? What are the goals of the characters? Who is the antagonist and what is their goal?
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
