The particulars of the resource in question are not as important as what it represents, which is unfettered expansion, consumption, conquering the untamed stars because humanity has used up too much of Earth. The themes of the film are broad, but that is exactly what Cameron is trying to accomplish, make spanning, universal stories.

The comments here saying that the film is "too long" and how much of it "doesn't advance the story" are frankly depressing. Cameron respects his audience enough to let the film breathe, to have the viewer really feel the spectacle. He doesn't spend a decade on CG tech to stroke his own dick, he does it so that his story has a soul. The beauty of Pandora's oceans is not "showing off", it's critical to the essence of the film.

That is in fact not true, they are good

True, but the sequels are very good as well

Lord of the Rings is a tremendous series, but Stars Wars, original and prequel trilogy, are a lot more interesting and important. But yeah there's really no need to compare the two.

Sounds like he's responsible for the best parts of the film
