A lot of the advancements right now are "smaller" (or maybe "background") enhancements. That basically just add to the overall look but don't necessarily stand out on there own.
The first avatar was a 'generational' leap in cgi work and compositing etc. The 2nd is more 'iterative'
I'd suggest you check out Corridor Crew on Youtube - they have a series called VFX artists react where they check out the good (and bad) work done in movies. A couple which feature stuff from the Avatar movies.
The videos are relatively short (probably averages around 20 minutes), informative and entertaining.
