Truly Depressing

Rating: 6/10 (31 March 2014)

I gave this movie a 6/10 because the performances and visuals were both exceptional. It was entertaining and kept my attention for the most part, but it left me not only disappointed but also sad.
I hadn't read the book, so I thought I was watching a unique (albeit a bit unbelievable) story of survival. Nope. Pi didn't actually save a tiger or bond with it in any way. Instead, he watched his mother be brutally murdered, became a killer himself and then a CANNIBAL, and all the animals drowned in their cages.
Awesome.
If that makes you believe in god, fine. I don't see it.
