There are, however, a few pretty big plot issues that I don't understand.
Spoiler: Why was the mother ship here? The Prawns have weapons that are obviously far superior to ours, so why are they letting us make them do anything? If the mother ship could be remote piloted and has a tractor beam, why did CJ Prawn spend 20 years scavenging to make fuel to fly the little ship?

You have spotted possibly the best part of the movie, wthe prawns with its superior weapons and numbers (1 million of them), why were they opressed? The same can be said for the black people for 300 years
They lacked leadership and organization, this was the message of the movie, you need at least one person/prawn to start the revolution

the pig scene made me lol, a lot. Blink and you'd miss it too.
the thing is they left the ending perfectly, perfect for saying "watch for district 10 in 3 years"
it's so open ended though, you have no idea which way they'd take it for the sequel.
The core of the plot though should make every one of us human beings take a moment to reflect on our moral ambiguity when it comes to what we do "in the name of humanity" because we place ourselves higher on the totem pole than anyone else when it comes to advancing science, military technology, or exerting authority over ones rights.

What do you mean they left it open ended?
Christopher already said he will come back with "HELP" to liberate his people, intergalatic war is the only sequel they will make
