Review of Life of Pi (2012) by Jamesl — 06 Feb 2013

I initially did not want to see this film as I thought I would be bored. However, I went and caught the 3D edition and thought it was one of the best films of the year. The cinematograhpy alone is worth the price of admission.

The 3D enhances instead of detracting as it often does. I thought it got a little long at sea but that was a minor issue compared to the excellent philosophical questions raised and the brilliant film making.

I would not put it in my top five but it definitely makes mytop ten. One of the big surprises for me in 2012.
