I believe the impact was mostly to do with the visuals. And, honestly, that is very fair. While it is inctedibly dull and cringe story-wise, the visuals are phenominal, especially since the movie is now already 15 years old.
I feel the same way about Jurassic Park in that sense, though it is much less cringe than Avatar (but still pretty basic story-wise).
But the original Jurassic Park was fun. The writing was sharp and memorable, the cast charismatic, even if the plot is not that important (which is fine).
I did love JC Avatar's alien flora and fauna, and some small details like the realistic spaceship, but I guess it feels much less exciting in hindsight without anything to "attach" it to.
And again... the IP its name collides with is nothing to sneeze at, visually. You can pause it almost anywhere, even in "mundane" scenes, and get gorgeous fantasy shots and incredible music:
