Boring and Simple

Rating: 2/10 (7 January 2013)

Cgi does not make this film interesting.
The first third is the most interesting as it sets up the story.
The 2nd and 3rd sections treat the audience as infantile. The dialog is awfully plain and dispassionate. I did not care for Pi's plight, whereas I think a more innovative screenplay and direction could have engendered some compassion for Pi. The scene switching back to present day Pi always broke the film's mood. These present days scenes felt to be lifted from the pages of a daytime soap opera rather than a feature film.
A boring story not worth realizing into a film.
Don't bother seeing this.
