The only thing Avatar has going for it is technology. It's very, very, very heavy in CGI. A very expensive/high-tech movie to make. Aside from that, if you're not into background/lore, which they invested in (language, species etc) then you won't see it as an amazing movie. The plot is not very original and the acting is not extra-ordinarily note worthy.

I think this movie grossed highly due to the big names behind it and, mostly, outstanding marketing.

In essence, I'd sum it up as glorified eye candy. IMO
definitely watch it to come up with your own opinion though, it never hurts.
