Over hyped

Rating: 6/10 (19 July 2015)

Maybe I was expecting too much but got bored in parts and after the hype was found wanting for some profound life changing or at least thought provoking moments. Sure, the acting was good and generally it gelled together well but maybe I don't need enlightening. At least it was different I suppose but after hearing positive reviews I was left disappointed. Obviously it's a fantasy film but it didn't stretch my imagination or leave me wowed. Was I missing something? or maybe I was looking too hard for some kind of message. I preferred the first part of the film with the family situation and pi's childhood learning. Some of the film was a spectacle visually but nothing extraordinary.
