Because he’s not stupid? The water would have to rise another 2 feet before he has to get on top of the truck and 4 feet before he was in any real danger. The driver did the right thing by staying with the truck, swimming for it is always the last option.  

I would opt for the “climb on top” option. Benefits of staying in place waiting for help, but if it gets too high, you don’t drown (in your cab) and at least have a chance to swim to safety.

...Wasn’t it being flown by the villainous Terran faction?

Not to mention, the faction that flies that flag are unambiguously your enemy from the get-go. But really every Terran organization is one flavor or another of fascist. We go from plantation class oligarchy in the Confederacy to a neo-imperial dynasty in The Dominion of Man, to a more classical European sophisticate…

It’s established that the Terrans are descendants of prisoners sent into deep space. Confederacy is used as a trope of this.

The Confederacy is the BAD guys, no matter who you’re playing. Even as the other humans you’re against them. They have bad southern accents and everything.

Are you the type that thinks that banning Huck Finn from school is justified as well?

I mean the Nazis didn’t like Jew-deism so they stomped all over that as well.

If Mayweather is really hurting for money he could make even more by taking a dive.

To hell with you. I stopped reading at the uneducated Trump fan base comment

the humans that were sent into space to colonize were criminals so i think the battle flag fits nicely.

I mean it’s meant to be a parody, not to mention the Confederacy is portrayed as the villains.

That’s devastating. If you, and people like you, stop reading Kinja, it’s going down like the Titanic. You can feel proud of the panic you’ve caused, and you probably cost this Roberts guy his job! Your hard-won education is really paying off!

Only the most educated people I know use the term “f*ckstick.” You must have at least a doctorate.

My goodness, you alt-right Trumplickers sure are sensitive little things, aren’t you? Stop getting so offended all the time.

I dont think you’ll find anyone who would disagree that the film is beautiful and well done from a purely aesthetic standpoint.

BUT. It’s three fucking hours of pure garbage story. It’s unoriginal, but more than that just plain boring, and full of ridiculous tropes. There’s the big bad military industrial complex that…

While I’ll take your word for it on Avatar’s technical achievements...

I always thought of it as Pocahontas meets The Smurfs

‘3D, live action Fern Gully’ is also an apt description, although it’s certainly not an endorsement.

Ugh, I really don’t understand people that hold up Avatar as a good movie. I remember (I think) that the main character’s name was John, but I can’t remember his last name, and I literally cannot remember a single other character’s name from the entire film.

Yup. The only crime here was filming in portrait.
