This movie is about a boy named Pi who is part of a shipwreck and ends up on a life boat with a tiger.

Rating: 7/10 (22 November 2012)

This movie is very good. Not life changing, but very good. Pi's adventures are very inspiring. You can catch yourself mentally cheering for Pi and the tiger.
***Spoiler Alert***I say this only for the sake of advising people about content*** Don't be fooled when the parental guidelines say that there is no fighting and intense scenes. My nine-year-old sister who usually is perfectly fine in movies was very upset and disturbed by this one. There are some sad scenes including the following: It shows Pi as a young boy trying to feed a tiger at his father's zoo. His father comes in and witnesses him doing this, and not only does he harshly scold him, but he decides to teach him a "lesson". A man brings in a live goat and ties it to the tiger cage. Pi's Mom is shown covering Pi's eyes and we later see the tiger with a bloody goat in his mouth.
Pi is on a boat with lots of animals. There is an intense storm that may be frightening to younger kids.
During the storm, the boat sinks, killing Pi's family. Pi is the only one who makes it out alive.
Pi is on a lifeboat with a zebra, hyena, orangutans, and a tiger. Things quickly get out of hand. The hyena kills the zebra, and Pi is on the verge of killing the hyena when the orangutans and the hyena start a fight. The hyena ends up killing the orangutans. The tiger swoops in and kills the hyena, but Pi is now in danger. This is all shown very graphically, and it's the most intense part of the film.
Sharks are shown as a threatening thing in the water throughout the film.
Pi and the tiger are on an island with lots of meerkats, and the tiger eats some of the meerkats.
It looks at one point that the tiger will die.
Pi has to make up a story in the end of the film which is very disturbing.
That is about all of the intense scenes in the movie, but another point is that the movie is very religious, and some young kids may be bored by that. For a PG movie, this is fairly intense. I would advise not taking a child younger than nine or ten to this movie unless the child is 100% always okay with all movies.
