Some scenes are gorgeous

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2012)

Chiefly those at the sea including the stormy ones. It's actually a very well filmed movie from the technical point of view. The story is deep enough I mean the story of the boy in a boat with a tiger for 22 days after the shipwreck of the boat where both were travelling. Because as we see at the end this was only one of the two possible stories since the boy after having reached Mexico and been admitted to a hospital tells the representatives of the Japanese company that owned the ship a quite different story (although dramatic as well) after they told him they didn't believe in the first one. This feature of the plot enhances the quality of the film. Which one was true? We'll never know but both are very rich in their dramatic contents. The visual special effects are splendid and fortunately most of them were made by computer work since a few acts of cruelty against living animals (or presented as such) would have been to blame. Not exactly a very good movie but good enough and worth to be seen.
