Should be inspiring, but falls into boringness and confusing narrative

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2012)

It is an interesting film. However, it's somewhat confusing. The story path leaves us with many doubts, as a kind of self-help guide to illumination. At the same time that it starts with a good idea, in the sequence the movie becomes not so obviously understandable. The movie is very boring for dozens of minutes although from time to time you get scared by some noisy actions... Well, comparing with "Cast Away" (with Tom Hanks), it is more magical and inspiring, but yet tiresome and with an unnecessary non-linear narrative. Special notes and five stars should be given to the animals in CG: just perfect, and also to Suraj Sharma, who played the main character (a very difficult role). And...five stars also to the very beginning of "Life of Pi": very poetical and splendidly filmed and the sea sequences - technically very well done.
