A Visual Spectacular! 8/10

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2013)

Review: This is a visual spectacular, with a great storyline which touches the heart. The director used today's technology to the fullest to bring the movie to life. You really believe that the tiger, and other animals like the hyena and zebra, are really there, which makes the movie even more enjoyable. The leading character was a great choice and he also put n a convincing performance, which must have been hard with so much graphics being used. This is a bit weird to say, but the relationship between Pi and the tiger was brilliant. It reminded me a lot like Wilson and Tom Hanks in Castaway. Anyway, this movie should definitely not be missed because there won't be another movie with such a deep and meaningful storyline for some time. Brilliant!
Round-Up: I did find the ending a bit corny, after going through such an emotional ride, but it doesn't take away the greatness in the film. Although the storyline is great, it's the visual effects that must have taken a hell of a long time because of its precise and believable realism. The whole shipwreck scene will put Titanic to shame, but in some ways, its not the type of movie that you will watch time and time again, for a some unknown reason. With all that aside, this movie must look excellent in 3D, which is the format that I recommend to everyone who watches this movie and check out the wicked names for the animals.
Budget: $120million Worldwide Gross: $609million (Well Deserved!)
I recommend this movie to people who like there emotional, fantasy/adventure movies with a touching storyline. 8/10
