Thoroughly enjoyable, if a bit odd, moving artwork

I enjoyed "Life of Pi". It's a spectacular visual piece with an interesting story, which raises interesting points and themes with a minimal number of characters and situations.
I'm sure everyone knows the basic story by now, so I won't bore you with that. Even going into it with some knowledge of the story, I still found it surprising and engrossing.
The films veers into the strange toward the end with a strange storyline about an island. I didn't completely understand what was going on. I felt the film could have done without this particular sequence.
Ang Lee continues to be one of the best directors of his time.
