Good movie that tries to make a point but doesn't

Rating: 7/10 (24 December 2012)

The movie tells a wonderful story of survival, with great cinematography, good acting and some humor. This would be a great movie if it didn't try to make the point that in the end the author who hears the story from Pi will believe in God when the end makes no reference to this. The faith of Pi is a wonderful thing but the "theology" of the movie is shaky and should not be used to make a big point which is not made in the end anyway. Also there is a pointless hospital scene near the end where Pi comes up with another story which is more believable and therefore a little confusing since it was even hinted that it may be the true story. The story is a fantastic tale and should simply be left at that.
