When I read the story, I could not put it down. A truly great tale of perseverance and faith. The film takes a story that is inspiring on the written page and audio book to a whole new level. The breathtaking visuals and special effects compliment and add to the texture of the story instead of overwhelming it. The assertion put forth in trailers for the film that it is the next "...next Avatar." do "Life of Pi" a great disservice.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, visually stunning
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I think this movie was extraordinary and the acting was excellent. Ang Lee has done it again. I loved it from start to finish, found no parts to be boring and now I am going to buy the book and read it. I usually read the book first. I would recommend this to anyone. I don't think a 15 year old should NOT see it. Anyway, I give it award kudos and I'll be watching in March to see what happens. I thought it was fantastic.

A beautiful adaptation of a great story. The acting is great and uses lesser known actors which is always a nice change. The story is very good, though there are a few times that movie becomes slow and tiresome. The story is very spiritual and does focus on Christianity but do not let that turn you away. The tiger effects are amazing and it is hard to believe it is not real. I do not think this movie will appeal to everyone and I am uncertain that I would bring children under 15 to see it. If you are looking for a good story and amazing effects this is a great show. I would see it in 3D on a big screen.
Pros great story, great actors
Cons slow
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The movie is very true to the book, which provides the deep thought provoking themes and thrilling adventure. Ang Lee brings artistic genius, adding choreography and effects to faithfully put on screen the images of an intense survival encounter with the forces of nature, including human nature. Even though I read the book, I don't have an answer to the question - did the zebra have four legs or two? Perhaps if I watch it again, with answering that question as my purpose; but even if I still don't find the answer, I'll enjoy seeing (on screen) the story (I read) which I want to be true.
Pros great story, artistic genius
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The Life of Pi starts slow as "character development" takes place. Then a major incident takes place that is unexplained in its origin and leads to the predicament that lasts throughout the film. I was ready to leave the film within the first ten minutes but my sons, who've read the book, said, "Dad, it gets better." They lied.
The theme? Suffering. Human suffering. Animal suffering. If you like to watch a human being and an ever decreasing cast of CGI animals suffer, then perhaps this is entertaining or thought provoking. But it certainly is not a movie for an escapist or a relaxing few hours.
Hollywood and film critics will adore this pluralistic film for the way the main character synthesizes his religions, but there's no real connection in the early religious development to the rest of the film.
What is stunning is the CGI, 3D effects, and cinematography. And my sons, who love animals, really enjoyed the tiger, merkats, whale, etc. The reality is the zoo would have been money better spent since at least those animals are real.
Walking out of the film, I felt like I watched a poor retread of Castaway (which I didn't appreciate either). Only this film had no Tom Hanks or even a loveable volleyball.
Pros great cgi
Cons bad acting, slow, irrelevant to life
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I saw the premier of "Life of Pi" and I had not read the book so it was my first experience with this story. I saw it in 3D and the photography/special effects were amazing. The animals looked so real it was hard to tell they were created. (I assmue some scenes were of the real animals but...)
In some scenes it was like being at the Planetarium gazing into the starry sky thru the cool blue ocean...a w e s o m e!!
Check it out for sure!!
Pros great story
Cons animals eating other animals
Yes, I recommend this movie.
