Beautiful in every sense of the word

Rating: 9/10 (6 December 2017)

'Life of Pi' is without doubt one of the greatest cinematic achievements of the decade. It is visually mesmerizing, so rich in detail and jawdroppingly realistic. I regret not seeing it at the cinema when it was first released because I think films as visually arresting as this one really need to be seen on the big screen to be fully appreciated.
There's more to this film than just CGI and special effects though. The story is just as beautiful as the visuals are and, unlike some of the other CGI heavy films of recent years, it has a plot with substance and characters with depth. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will no doubt watch it again at some point in the future.
'Life of Pi' is a beautiful film both inside and out. Cinema doesn't get much better than this.
