Review of Life of Pi (2012) by Tvjerry — 24 Nov 2012

You've probably seen the incredible footage of a young man and a tiger trapped on a lifeboat. That' the crux of this magical, magnificent film brilliantly brought to the screen by Ang Lee. The philosophy-laden run up and the mystical follow up must be endured to get the whole story, but it's worth the effort.

The struggle for survival is spellbinding and Lee has created some imagery that's astoundingly beautiful. Where the real animals end and the CGI begins is seamless. The 3D doesn't really add that much, but most theaters don't give many alternatives.

Whether or not you appreciate the metaphysical aspects, Lee again demonstrates that he's one of the great modern masters of cinema.
