Rating: 8/10 (6 December 2012)

Every once and awhile you have a film that comes along like that of "Life of Pi" one that's a tale of courage, wit, determination, and a survival tale it shows that life was worth living as it's often an unexpected and tough unusual journey. Told mostly in flashback form you now have a grown Pi Patel(Suraj Sharma and Irrfan Khan)and Pi recalls the times and days of his India zoo keeper family. And the most life changing and memorable moment that would shape Pi's life is when his family took a ship movement to Canada only to be wrecked by a sea disaster in the Pacific ocean. After the wicked waves of the Pacific have departed Pi's family on the lifeboat he's left with his most notable zoo animals like a zebra, hyena, orangutan and most watched is a fierce growling grown to love Bengal tiger. Along the way this is a cat and mouse game of will and survival for Pi to live it shows that on an unexpected journey skill and wit can be learned for survival. Aside from the film's personal themes of will and determination the special effects are top notch. And any work from award winning director Ang Lee is a story of discovery and love obtaining and "Life of Pi" sums up those things. Overall this film is a tribute to courage, wit and the will for survival.
