The plot was great, the 3D amde it even better, and what's wrong with James?
The plot was recycled from Pocahontas. From reading Avatar's plot summary on Wikipedia, I summarize it here:
The military wants to mine the planet of blue people. A soldier of the military is sent onto the world to start mining, but gets separated from his peeps and is brought into the tribe of the people on the planet. The military commander tells the soldier to betray them, but he says "nofu" and doesn't.
Plot of Pocahontas:
England wants to find gold in the new world. Some sailors get sent over. One of the sailors befriend one of the native americans and she teaches him how to be more in touch with the world. Later on, the native american tribe wants to excecute that same sailor, but pocahontas saves him.
hmm.
