Disappointing, shallow nonsense of a movie

Rating: 3/10 (21 January 2013)

Most of this movie is centred around a shipwrecked boy on a boat with a bengal tiger (yeah right ) and the struggle for survival. People are saying it was visually stunning - I must have missed those bits. I thought Titanic was stunning back in the day, there was nothing in this movie that could compare to the stunning imagery of Titanic. So I must have missed something somewhere.
I tried to root for the main character but just couldn't find the emotional attachment as I found him as shallow as the main thesis of the movie. Which was a simple and fairly pointless "philosophical" question at the end: Which version of the story dd you prefer. He could have just as well said do you like your tea with or without sugar ?. I can't recall the last time I saw such an anti-climax to a major motion picture.
The premise of the film was shallow, and perhaps if they cut out 2 hours of the movie, it may have made a good short film. Maybe ..
