Life of Pi Movie Reviews

Starting out with the older Pi (Irrfan Khan) recounting his unbelievable life story to an author ( Rafe Spall), we travel down memory lane and are briefly introduced to Pi's childhood in picturesque Puducherry (Pondicherry), his family-owned zoo and his faith in God and religion. In due course, the family heads to Canada for a 'new chance' at life. Calamity strikes, leaving Pi the only human survivor with a full-grown fierce Bengal tiger for company

Life of Pi, directed by Ang Lee, is a film so fascinating and so stunning to look at, you don’t want to blink for fear of missing out on a moment. It’s the only film since James Cameron’s Avatar to exploit 3D so richly. Nearly every frame resembles a gorgeous watercolor painting…from the open blue skies, to the expanse of the ocean, the wondrous marine life underwater, even the island on which our hero at one point lands. Ang Lee, the director of Brokeback Mountain

When for the first time Richard Parker, the magnificent Bengal tiger, jumps at you from under the tarpaulin of the lifeboat in Life of Pi, you jump out of your seat. It doesn’t matter if you are seven or 17 or 70. Just like the audiences running for cover when the Lumiere brothers had the train hurtling towards them on the big screen back in 1897. We are almost through with 2012 and with the help of advanced technologies like 3D and CGI
