Its hard to judge without dialogue but I was distinctly uncomfortable. it was like the anthropologist (?) went out of his way to show he had better technology. I think he could have put them at ease better with other methods. I'm always a little bit saddened by another pristine culture being introduced to 'modern' ways-- there's still this bit of the 'noble savage' concept that sticks with me. *shrug* YMMV

It's amazing to me how similar people are. Cultures are different, sure, but the emotions, reactions, and general behavior is the same.
