Incredible, heart-warming movie

Rating: 9/10 (23 March 2014)

Incredible, heart-warming movie.
Don't be fooled by the trailer, which made it look all style and no substance. Yes, the visual effects are amazing, but is so much more than Ang Lee showing off his cinematographic prowess. The story is very emotional, and quite unique as it involves a boy and a tiger. Not only emotional, but spiritual too.
Excellent CGI. You would swear there was a real tiger, zebra, hyena etc in the boat with Pi.
Solid performances from a cast of unknowns (the only well-known actor in the movie is Gerard Depardieu, and his role is fairly minor). Suraj Sharma is great as Pi.
