What is so original about the film Avatar?

[ShadowmasterX]

Besides the 3d? i think that the fact that it looked so real. The story line however, was like Pocahontas. Even though it was similar, the overall story line was really really good.

i think the story and the characters.

I haven't seen it yet, but I think it's overrated.

I thought the CGI was superficial and would only impress philistines.
