Original enough. I keep hearing people harp on this, just makes me wonder what an Original Story is? Every basic Plot has been told before, what's different from Story to Story is Setting mostly.
As an example, I watched K-Pax last night. Not perfect but pretty darned close to an original story. Also watched Let The Right One In. Now that is an orignal story! Let The Right One In is about a 12 year old that befriends a 12 year old vampire. It is a must see!
Movies like Avatar are OK for younger people. They like the shiny lights and the story IS new to them. At 34 (my age), I just have a hard time finding interesting stories. And special effects mean nothing to me unless they add to the story.
The issue with Avatar is that it is a story that has been told many times. It's forgetable.
Let The Right One In: 9/10 - everyone should see this unelss you don't like the sight of blood.

Let the Right One In (Swedish: Låt den rätte komma in), also known as Let Me In, is a 2004 vampire fiction novel by Swedish writer John Ajvide Lindqvist. The story centers on the relationship between a 12-year-old boy, Oskar, and a centuries-old vampire child, Eli. It takes place in Blackeberg, a working class suburb of Stockholm, in the early 1980s. The book focuses on the darker side of humanity, dealing with issues such as bullying, drugs, theft, pedophilia, prostitution and murder as well as the obvious supernatural themes.
