Several complex issues are handled in this fairy tale. On one level its about metal elves, but on the other it is about several real-life issues. Some elements of encounters of the third kind (Spielberg effect?) are seen when different people look at the same situation from their own perspective (but how else can that be?). I think the difference is that they do that without coming across as egotists. Of course many things e.g. supply of raw material to name a very minor one, are swept under the carpet as they should be in any good fantasy. Otherwise, what is the viewers imagination for? The story outline is simplistic, won't necessarily keep you glued to the screen, but has a few twists and the perceived complexities can take you through.
