    Huh. I mean, I’m sure it’s a decent enough movie, but it just completely lacks any cultural impact. It’s not known for anything besides blue people.

      The impact of Avatar is the technologies that James Cameron has advanced in order to create it. Avatar will lead to better cameras, techniques and movies. The story is just an excuse to get Disney to give him the money he needs to pursue his craft.
