And it's not even creative, it's not like the idea is very original.
I'm just curious, what other movies had the premise of plants developing the ability to evolve and combat humans by releasing toxin into the air?

I'm not saying that's it's a brilliant idea, but I thought it was original if nothing else. I haven't seen a movie or TV show with the same premise.

The actual 'villain' remains unknown and given the evidence in the movie my guess is that there are enough holes there to let you know that it's not supposed to be plant vigilantism.
I think you're right, I believe I outlined in my post about some concepts that the evil plant conspiracy doesn't cover, even if true within the realm of the movie.
