Visually stunning

Rating: 9/10 (25 February 2013)

I read the book many years ago, and I have enjoyed the film even more. I found the story flow a little easier to follow on film than when I was trying to read the book, as the themes became more apparent to the viewer through the narrative revelation, the transformations in the relationship between Pi and Richard Parker, and our choice whether or not to have faith. For me, the most memorable scenes were those of the whale leaping out of the ocean and splashing back into sea, the exotic fish and phytoplankton underwater, and the island when it turned carnivorous at night. I highly recommend this film for anyone who loves films about adventures and a remarkable story about faith.
