For sure, plus plants couldn't "evolve" toxins to fight humans, that's not how evolution works; it isn't targeted with a goal like that.

As deus ex machina I guess it's fine, I just don't like that movies take the easy way out so so often when doing it right would be so much better with so little extra effort.

It's like sounds in a space movie, or computer movies where they have the "Are you sure you want to overload the power grid. Yes/No" prompt. It makes suspension of disbelief too hard.

Plus I get the impression from some reviews that it was intentional for a gaia new agey science is only a theory nature wins kind of view.
