I did not fall asleep watching this film

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2013)

Taking my 12 year old granddaughter along to see this film was a very rewarding experience for the both of us. She could not stop talking about it after we left the theatre. I was pleased that she asked lots of questions about it and it made her think. She now wants to read the book. I read the book myself few years ago and I think this film does the book justice. The actor who played Pi on the life raft was excellent. The 3D effects were unbelievable and wonderful and it amazes me that there are people out there who are so talented. They should be congratulated on their marvellous work. Some people have rubbished the story, saying story 1 was fake, and story 2 was even more bizarre. I say overlook the obvious trickery and enjoy a film.
