avatar is neytiri

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2009)

The CGI was great (of course), but I have seen that in pixar movies. Motion capture? Yes it is mind blowing in pixar movies too. The story? of course avatar is no where near pixar movies (except the cars of course).
May be it is my fault comparing avatar to pixar movies. But I definitely rate avatar above any of pixar movies released till date just because of the character neytiri played (or developed whatever) by the beautiful zoe saldana. Other characters such as jake avatarized beautifully by Sam Worthington comes only seconds to neytiri because zoe (oops neytiri!!) looks more human than any other character in the movie. She is an environmentalist a lover, a warrior.. a Na'vi with a human girl's heart (though very few girls have that kind of heart nowadays!!).
I love neytiri because,
1. She fell in love with a man from another race and she accepted it.
(Accepting something that your "traditional" mind may not be fully
comfortable with is called courage)
2. She was ready to obey her elders to teach a person from another race
(I bet she would have done that even if she hate him)
3. She risks her life for her love, and her race.
4. She puts her people above her love interest (the scene when she
finds out that "this" would happen.)
Overall neytiri is the simplest adaptation of a pure human heart and I love it.
