Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Michael Ledo The film opens with a lengthy character build-up of Pi. It starts off with the crude explanation on how he got his name. It contrasts this with Pi's discovery of religion to the point of believing in universalism. His lofty ideas are quickly contrasted with a dose of reality when a tiger, he thinks he has connected with, eats a live goat. After he develops a love interest we finally come to the meat of the tale.His family opts to go to Canada on a Japanese merchant ship and if everything went okay, you wouldn't see a picture of Pi in a boat with said tiger promoting this film. His life's experience are reflected in his relationship with the tiger and survival at sea.Pi's life is one filled with contrasts. He is a microcosm of India and perhaps the world as his name is symbolic of the constant the defines circles, orbs, and globes. That is the spiritual aspect. However his name derives from the "P" word giving it a dose of crude reality. The film/book is designed to be a metaphor. This is demonstrated in the end when Pi gives us two stories, then asks, "Which do you prefer?" as a way to test one's views in a world of contrasts.While the film is interesting on a number of levels, it is heavily narrated with an accent. This caused me to occasionally miss a word every now and then. Hopefully the DVD will have English subtitles.Parental Guide: No sex or nudity. While rated PG I thought Pi dropped the F-bomb near the end when he was talking about the two Japanese investigators. It was tough to tell with the accent. Beginning of film frequently refers to pi**ing.

teodorodontosaurus What we have here is a film that has no direction. Is it an art film or a blockbuster? None of them. While Ang Lee usually has great cinematography, here it serves no purpose, even if it tries to. Of course, there are big problems with the CGI here. It looks unpleasant for me, it simply doesn't work - it looks fake, especially when it's overused. I'm truly disappointed with Ang Lee for agreeing to use such massive amounts of CGI... Maybe I'm too subjective on this matter, but it really dragged the film down for me. Another disappointing aspect is that the film literally tells you that it's actually symbolic. <Look, THIS symbol and THIS one, those are SYMBOLS. The ending is also VERY SYMBOLIC because even the things you thought that were not symbolic, it turns out they WERE SYMBOLS.> This forced cheap symbolism really annoyed me. Even the ambiguity of the story is forced. Obviously Ang Lee's weakest film.

connormcclure-51376 I'm not gonna lie, Life of Pi is absolute eye candy. The visuals are striking and impressive, especially considering more than half of the movie takes place in the middle of the ocean. However, maybe Life of Pi was best left as a novel; the translation from paper to the big screen just doesn't stack up. The undeniable brilliance of Martel's novel is muted by rushed filmmakers trying to squeeze 227 days out at sea into a 2-hour time limit. In addition, some of the transitions between scenes were corny in all the wrong ways. Long story short, the people making this film really love to fade characters on and off the screen. So, despite seamless computer graphics and gorgeous cinematography, it's not a satisfying product overall.I really wanted to like this movie, and I was excited to see just how the contents of the book could be projected into a film. But after reading the novel, it falls flat. If you want to enjoy this movie, don't read the novel, or better yet, skip it all together and get ahold of the book instead. The bottom line is: it's not awful, but it fails to do Yann Martel's work justice.

jguans To me, Life of Pi is a movie talking about a teenager facing a disaster that make him lose his family and struggle to leave alone in the middle of pacific ocean. In this film, religion or faith is not special but a way to deal with such trauma which could make a man insane. This film deserves to be watched more than twice. Each time you will learn more from the movie, not only pay more attention to the details, but also with more life experiences that help you understand the scenes more deeply.
