Excellent! How else can you put it?

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2013)

I went to see this with a friend after reading half the book. I hadn't intended on seeing it before I'd finished the book, but I don't regret seeing it at all. Firstly, the acting is pure class. Pi, the main character, brings pure emotion into his acting...he made me feel happy and sad and whatever. I don't like seeing animals dying, but there was nothing too disturbing nor brutal, though highly emotional when Orange Juice died and the zebra's suffering. The story, as it is expressed in the book, is meant to make you believe in God. Coming from an ex-atheist, I would now say, yes, I fully believe in God. The film was so powerful. It brought out every emotion in me -- I felt like crying; then a few minutes later I felt like bursting into fits of hysterical laughter! Overall a must-see for everyone, aged from around 8 up.
