Never seemed to be marketed that way.
I like the films - then again, I’m a sucker for big cinema and IMAX 3D, so from an eye-candy perspective, it’s glorious. Is the story anything earth-shaking? Of course not. It’s escapist fluff.. but oh.. how it looks.

iirc that was all it was ever really touted as. Supreme eye candy, nothing more, nothing less.

I feel like saying “James Cameron made a film about nothing” is unfair. I don’t think it’s about nothing. It’s about colonialization. It’s about inter-species racism, but in like a corporate kind of way. And yet, it really feels like a film about nothing. I wonder why that is. Is it just that it has nothing interesting to say about how colonialization works? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the film, but I do sort of remember it coming to really obvious conclusions.
