A planet can have more than one resource. Unobtanium was the least interesting part if avatar imo. I thought it was annoying that every conflict was caused by the kids getting captured. It happens like 4 times.

But thats what the movie is about? Its about how cinema can influence the perception of reality. The nazis used cinema as propaganda. Tarantino takes away power of nazis by showing that they are just a bunch of assholes and not some unimaginable monsters. There's a reason why everything in basterds is about film.

Understanding music is a learned process. Western music is different to music from the east. Music from the east often sounds weird to westerners. (This is based on research). Instruments have also been tuned in many different ways in history. So intervals have changed throughout history aswell. Matg is just one factor. If humans on earth can't fully appreciate music from different cultures, they would most likely not understand alien music.

On a serious note: let's assume the aliens have some kind of hearing organ. Our music would probably sound like noise to them. Harmonies and melodies would make no sense to them. If they have a spoken language, they would be able to detect a rhythm though. So techno would be the best choice.

Their music would of course sound like nothing to us. Unless they also have techno producers.
