An Indian teenage boy, played by Suraj Sharma, tries to survive a journey across the Atlantic Ocean, in a life boat, with the company of a tiger.

Ang Lee is the director of this film. He has created a very emotive and thought provoking film. Ang Lee touches on many religious and philosophical topics, mainly faith. This is one of two films, that year — the other was, amazingly enough, Madagascar 3 — that used 3D in creative and revolutionary ways. It was visually impressive, especially the water. The CGI in the film helps to tell the story, which makes it better and actually filmable.

Before, director, Ang Lee took up the job, many considered the book to be beautiful, but virtually unfilmable. Many who have read the book and seen the movie believe the book is better. One reason, for all book vs film battles, that books will always be victorious is that you use your imagination to filter the words in a book and create something in your mind, which doesn’t have to be the same thing that your neighbor is imagining . Whilst, we are forced to see one thing that is direct in films. Unless it is hidden or indirect, or there this a narrator, which ‘life of Pi’ has. The book will always win, but ‘life of Pi’ ,the film, is a treat to your eyes. It is a very close battle.

If you haven’t watched the film, I recommend in doing so. The film is best for older people and teenagers, even though it is a PG film. Watching a boy in a boat with a tiger, without any happy music, will be boring for a ten year old.

I give it a 4.5/5, I noticed a few mistakes, CGI wise, and there are many questions in my head, which could be seen as a good thing unless you are the person answering them.
