The story doesn't take any risks and shows only tiny hints at the darkness of the human nature.
It's a bit "refreshing" or at least not bog standard to portray the humans as aggressors/invaders, but to compensate for that they made a human the big hero + happy end to make it a movie "for everyone".

So in my opinion it's a 5/10 movie with fine 3D eye candy.

The thing is you don't see the humans as evil, you see the corporations, or the man, as evil.  In that sense, it's exactly like every other movie.  The fact that people rate it as high as they do for the 3D or say you should only watch it in 3D shows you how not-good of a movie it is.

Of course, Avatar is a horribly written movie. It's visuals are the only thing worth crying about.
