Life of Pi- A great treat!

Rating: 8/10 (26 November 2012)

This movie is very different than I expected. Knowing about all that was shown on trailers (a bunch of animals swimming and a kid on a boat with a tiger) I went into this movie with no solid expectations. I thought it would be more whimsical and magical, but for the most part the story stays on par with realism.
The CG was fantastic, it was often hard to distinguish between the CG tiger and a real one. It was a pretty grand movie but what seemed on a smaller scale. No real big name US actors.
I wanted to see it in 2D, but went to the 3D one instead. If you see this, I definitely recommend 3D. It was amazing having a tiger jump out at you or have the boys spear pointing at you when he is training the tiger.
This movie was a treat and I recommend seeing it. I really enjoyed the ride.
