    Terrific movie!

    by albuquerque guy

    Very entertaining and interesting. Also some good life lessons. I think I would need to see it two or three times to grasp more of the subtleties in parts of it.

    Life of Pi

    by ahrayah

    I love this movie. This is the 2nd time I saw it. I never see a movie more than once unless it is very, very good.

    I was so happy that it was still in the threatre at Delray 18.

    I love the scenery, the acting, the mystery of it.

    MUST GO!!!!

    Life of Pi

    by Fedina

    I wish we would have seen it in 3D.....bet it would have been worth the extra money! I love the hope that Pi shared and the understanding it doesn't matter who believes when your know the truth. The movie was very well done......may go back and see it in 3D

    Fascinating, but not our 'cup of tea'

    by

    It was clear the movie was well directed and the cinematography was outstanding. Good spiritual/moral lessons also. However, for us, the story line wasn't outstanding and his time at sea seemed endless.

    Life of Pi

    by loudorworth

    A powerful story, narrated in first person, as Pi reveals his amazing adventure to the story writer in a way that leaves one wondering at the end if this was a halucinatory fantasy or pure reality. This was a beautiful film that was well scripted, offering the viewer an amazing mental,visual, and spiritual experience that satisfies the soul at many levels... Go!

    Life of Pi

    by Benjy62

    Very interesting and touching movie. One of the few that I think should probably be seen in 3D even though I am not a huge fan of 3D movies. The ending is pretty mysterious and I almost wish it were simpler. NOT a movie for little kids though which I wish they made a little clearer in the ads.

    Main thrill of the book undercut by the movie

    by blumusdu

    I felt the movie did not dive deep enough into Pi taming the tiger. Desperation and was the heart of the book and I feel it was really glossed over with this adaptation. I think it would have been better if his thoughts were overlaid in a monologue with his actions. I really wanted to feel this movie. It had a lot of promise but felt way to happy disney for the point of the story. I didn't hate the movie it was okay I just really wanted more from it. It had a lot of potential. The cinematography was good but I wanted to connect and love this movie. I left wishing at least the tiger were really so the movie could have more emotion.

    This was a wonderful movie to see with my 12 year old daughter. I loved the message that this movie provides and I will take my 14 year old son to see this movie too. This is a wonderfully directed movie with beautiful cinematography!

    A eye-catching must see!

    by

    Amazing Movie. It was so eye-catching and beautiful! I did not read the book, but the story of this film was phenomenal. Also, the animations, the tiger, was so life-like and looked so real. The acting, was very well done by the person who played Pi. And, the nature and sights of the sea creatures and the ocean were so beautifully done. I give it a A+++ and really recomend it to whomever is wondering about watching this movie.

    Beautifully Depicted

    by itmustbekosher

    If you love adventures and great stories accompanied by rich culture then this movie is for you. The acting was flawless as every emotion was portrayed precisely. The movie has endless scenes of beauty and action. The visual effects were amazing. The movie overall has so much texture and it should be nominated for many Oscars. You will not be bored watching this movie.

    Life of Pi

    by gramella675

    Enjoyed it very much. Loved the production of the movie. Loved the story. Certainly a story all about anyone's life The nice thing about this movie is that it is for children and adults. The children will love the animals, nature, colors, amazing. And the adults can glean a lot of wonderful thoughtful ideas.

    This is what movies should all be: interesting to the point of fascinating, keeps you on the edge of your seat with mysterious clues, magnificent cinematography. No one should miss this one.

    by hwfisher2487

    It is nothing short of amazing that a movie was made from the book and done so perfectly. If anyone misses this movie, they don't like movies.

    BORING

    by oconnell.m

    I never read the book, so I am assuming that the adaptation was good judging by the many reviews. BUT for one who did not read the book, the movie was terrible. Long drawn out plot, random metaphors that are never revisited, too much of a religious theme, and too much CGI. There was one point where my boyfriend and I started to forget about the movie and start talking. The ending was horrible as well. I watched almost three hours of a movie that was just a ******* metaphor. Absolutely terrible. Dont waste your time.

    Life of PI

    by MJWH

    This is by far the best movie of the year! It's a must see for all ages. I went with my 21 year old daughter and husband and the three of us were blown away by it. The ads don't do it justice. The message is up lifting...not to mention the photography. It kept your attention the whole 2 hrs of the movie. We walked away feeling uplifted and happy. I'd like to see how they made this movie because it was exceptionally done....BRAVO!!!!!!
