Great movie!

by Robinlovescine

Of course it could never be as good as the book or the movie would be 10 hours long instead of 2 but it was excellent. The cinematography was amazing! The 3-D added a lot to the movie. The theater is kinda crummy, old, bad area of town, smelled like urine, but they were the only local theater selling advanced tickets for the first release showing. The up side: @ 4:40 the night before Thanksgiving there were only about 4 other people in the theater besides us. No kids kicking the back of my seat, no texting teens. Now you could probably pick a better theater. You must see this movie!

Best Movie of 2012!

by GeeDub411

This is not only the most thought provoking movie in a long, long time, but the story is amazing, and emothional. I have never considered myself an Ang Lee fan, but that has certainly changed. The manner in which he tells this story is simply visually stunning, and will keep you thinking for a long, long time. Great job, in every category!! Thank you for the experience

Life of Pi

by Over55FemaleRater

Very good film, thoughtfully done, no sex violence or explosions, no excessive use of 3d, I highly recommend this movie, and I will not give away any aspects of the plot or message, as that is what is fun about the movie itself. I will see this one again, and I almost never do that.

Life of Pi Visit #2

by kittykat1andonly

This movie is amazing. If you haven't seen it... you NEED to see it! It will tug at your heart strings and amaze you visually. The story is fantastic! If you don't have at least a heavy feeling in your chest or at least one tear... I'm pretty sure you're dead inside. Wonderful story of Love, Loss, Survival, Discovery, Courage and Imagination. This is the second time I've seen it in theaters... I took even more away from it with me the second time... and I may go again. The only other movie I visited more than twice in the theaters was Avatar. Just saying... its an amazing movie! Go See It!

Admire The Work

by Reelstreet

A collaboration of this size is a monumental feat and all participants are skilled at their craft. The story is a polytheistic approach to the unanswerable, (what is God, who is God, where is God, why is God) but by movies end the viewer is not any closer to an answer. However the story is enjoyable and the 3D is fun.

Life of Pi = Great Visual Effects

by Shellfia

Whether you read the book or not, this is a great movie. It is thought provoking but in the end a movie of survival. It is a conversation starter. We saw it in 3D. I think it would be good in either, but fun to see the Tiger jump out at you! The only reason I didn't rate as MUST SEE is because I think this is a movie that many will love, most will like, and some will hate. I loved it.

Amazing move! Perfect for the holidays

The most beautiful cinematography I've seen in my life, an amazing tale of faith, love,an courage. You must watch in 3D to fully capture the awesomness of this film!

Beautifully made!

by siwamoto

A moving story, Life of Pi blends fantasy and reality with great sensitivity and creativity. The acting by Irfan Khan and Suraj Sharma is touching and real. Ang Lee shows how large the scope of his creativity and sensitivity is. The use of 3D enhances the emotional impact, so this movie should be enxperienced in 3D.
This is a great family movie.

a visually stunning reasonable adaptation of the book

by renardspicer

My title pretty much says it all. If you are a fan of the book, you will probably feel (as I did) that there are notable disappointments in terms of storyline and characters. But, you will probably also realize (as i did) that the omissions are due to time restrictions. I was disappointed because I was looking forward to seeing how the 2 Mr. Kumars would be handled. The answer is: they are omitted and their characteristics are morphed into Pi's parents. I was most annoyed by the insertion of a love interest for Pi in Pondicherry and the omission of his 3 spiritual gurus. I was also curious about how the film would handle the meeting with the blind Frenchman; the film omits that too. Having said all of that, the characterization and plot are MOSTLY true to the original and what the film lacks in depth/profundity, it makes up for (I suppose) with visually-delightful aesthetics. The casting is spot on; the actors do well with it. It isn't terrible, which is what I had feared it would be.

Amazing special effects and story

by wendyapplegate

This was one of the best stories I have heard told in a long time. The special effects were great. My 6 and 9 year old son's thought it was awesome as well.

Engaging story, very well done on screen

by

I read the book and enjoyed it, but didn't find religious inspiration particularly. The movie is pretty true to the the book and I found it to be a good diversion. Not the best movie of the year, but worth seeing.

Not to be missed

by tallisbecket

If you have only one movie to see this holiday season, make it this one. Ang Lee's genius directorial skills combine with superb acting, lush cinematography, and awesome special effects to make for a not-to-be-missed entertainment experience.

Awesome

by wgazecki

I could not have been more pleased or impressed with this movie. Brilliant all round: acting, Direction, story, effects... everything. An entertaining, meaningful, moving experience. Funny at times, almost horrific at others (but not in a gory, visual way- scary within the mind). The film and Director Ang Lee should both win Oscars.

Life of PI

by huskers1954

Not what I expected from the trailers. Started out a little slow, but once it got going, it was quite good. Special effects in 3D were awesome. Well worth the trip to the theater. The animal attacks may prove troublesome for younger viewers.
