Too long for me, but an extraordinarily beautiful movie

Rating: 7/10 (30 November 2012)

I haven't read the book - or at least more than the first 50 pages.
The cinematography in this movie is remarkably beautiful, especially the scenes on the ocean. The end makes you rethink what came before, but I don't want to ruin that for anyone.
For me, this movie went on too long while Pi was at sea. But the imagery, and the imagination behind it, was truly remarkable.
I don't know what this would look like watched on a home TV. I suspect it would lose a lot of its visual power. Treat yourself to it in the theater, on a day when you're relaxed.
Even if there isn't much of any traditional plot, it is beautiful to watch. (Yes, I know I'm repeating myself, but I had to get this to 10 lines. My apologies.)
