When I saw it in the theater back when it came out, it was with my extended family and I knew nothing about it. I assumed it was an Avatar: The Last Airbender movie (which I also knew almost nothing about other than the name).

The movie was fine. Great visuals, mediocre plot. It doesn’t deserve to have had much of a cultural impact.

I’ve watched both of the sequels now (on the high seas), and they were actually pretty entertaining.
But I agree that they aren’t nearly as culturally significant as the PR would like you to believe
