Leaving aside finding truly original movie scripts isn't exactly easy regardless of the industry, I don't think Hollywood as a collective organization allows original scripts to be funded. If it hasn't been tested (preferably to destruction!), they have no guarantee anyone will like it.
As far as the technology goes, I found it a lot more disconcerting that they can produce/manufacture members of a completely alien species in a short time frame and transfer (as opposed to copy) a human conscious to that body, but they can't figure out a faster, cleaner and/or cheaper way to extract minerals than strip-mining for them? Really?
The knife-fight with the mech would have bothered me more, but I'd already put my 'suspension of disbelief' mentality on. In a similar vein, kicking the 'aliens' off-planet didn't make much sense to me either, given that Earth will be back within 10 years, if not sooner.
On another note, did this film seem furry to you? Didn't to me at the time, but I've seen some comments elsewhere that have me thinking about
