One dimensional typically means that they're very simple.
My use of the phrase is probably problematic/invalid. By 1-D, I meant
so strongly stereotyped. People like the jealous friend, military
commander, the corporate guy were all fairly simple characters, some of
whom were taken to silly extremes. The romance was also fairly
stereotyped, as was the response of the natives to the main character, etc.
