That's not it at all. I've never seen a film like District 9 before, that dealt with certain themes in a sci fi setting, and did so in a totally fresh and exciting narrative style, that challenged me as a viewer. Avatar on the otherhand basically cut and pasted an old tired narrative structure to a fantasy enviroment, without adding anything new to proceedings.
