Pretentious story, distracting CGI

Rating: 1/10 (30 August 2013)

Often during watching LoP I felt the overall frame was pleasing, yet the digital work on this is amazing to a fault. The digital imagery, I felt, often took the focus off the story/characters ...
If you've ever had Mormon's show up at your doorstep, you are familiar with the preachy/sales-vibe this movie puts off.
The acting was poor (main actor's Indian accent is no dialect I have ever heard), the story was ho-hum and the mumble-core scenes between old Pi and the author is probably a top naturopath alternative to ambien.
I went in to this movie expecting to not like it (not a fan of feel good, triumph of spirit style movies), but I was surprised by feeling real anger at having watched this ostentatious drivel.
Literally was Disney + L Ron Hubbard
