Amazing......A Must See Movie

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2013)

When you see an Ang Lee directed movie you know you will not be let down, and Life Of Pi surely delivers. The story is well written and told by Ang Lee with awesome special effects that will attack your senses.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to see this movie but ended up renting it after it had received rave reviews and Oscar nominations. I thought I would sit through it and then question why all the hype? Well, this movie surely did not let me down. The story centers around Pi, a teenager who is lost at sea with a Bengal tiger in a lifeboat after the ship he and his family were traveling on encounters a violent storm and subsequently sinks. Pi loses his family and then spends the next 227 days at see. Initially there are a few animals on board his lifeboat including a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena and the tiger. As time passes it is just Pi and the tiger who survive throughout their journey. Life Of Pi shows the need for co-existence between man and beast if they are to survive.
The special effects and breathtaking cinematography achieves what I am sure Mr. Lee was looking to deliver. This movie is a masterpiece and deserves to be on everyone's must see list. I highly recommend it and assure you that you will not be let down either.
