Storyline
In Canada, a writer visits the Indian storyteller Pi Patel and asks him
to tell his life story. Pi tells the story of his childhood in
Pondicherry, India, and the origin of his nickname. One day, his father,
a zoo owner, explains that the municipality is no longer supporting the
zoo and he has hence decided to move to Canada, where the animals the
family owns would also be sold. They board on a Japanese cargo ship with
the animals and out of the blue, there is a storm, followed by a
shipwrecking. Pi survives in a lifeboat with a zebra, an orangutan, a
hyena and a male Bengal tiger nicknamed Richard Parker. They are adrift
in the Pacific Ocean, with aggressive hyena and Richard Parker getting
hungry. Pi needs to find a way to survive.
Movie Reviews
Just
finished watching the Midnight Premiere. Did not disappoint one bit.
The Acting is incredibly believable, and the ending ties it all
together. The story sorta drags in the beginning, but Ang Lee did a good
job keeping my attention to the film. The Animation is incredibly
realistic. I couldn't tell the difference between what was real and what
wasn't. Not one moment did I doze off. Definitely worth 127 minutes of
your life. Ang Lee, you did an outstanding job. To the Cast, you all did
excellent. I am very satisfied! Although there were a lot of pros,
there were some cons. At one point the Format of the Film switched from
16:9 to 4:3, but that might have been the projector at the Cinemark I
attended. I also noticed some of the animations of animals started to go
off screen and you could see the animated objects in the black area of
the Wide Screen part (I'm assuming that was for the 3D, but I watched it
in 2D so it looked sketchy). But it's minor. An average viewer won't
even notice it, I'm an aspiring filmmaker, and I notice the little
things!! I enjoyed the film, and you will too. 9/10. Worth it.
