Ridiculous nonsense

Rating: 2/10 (22 May 2017)

This is a survival drama film narrated by Pi, an Indian man in his forties who lives in Canada. He tells the story of his early life. Most of it is about when he was 16 and travelled across the Pacific Ocean towards Canada in a ship with his family and a load of animals. Part way across, the ship sinks, killing the protagonist's family and many of the animals. He escapes on a lifeboat with a zebra, orangutan, hyena and tiger. The hyena kills the zebra and orangutan. The tiger kills the hyena. Pi and the tiger eventually reach Mexico. Later, he says that the animals were actually people.
This film is ridiculous and can't be taken seriously as a survival film. It's too far-fetched. The tiger would have killed Pi and eaten him. Even without the tiger, Pi would not have survived and reached Mexico in the lifeboat. Even if you believe the second story that the animals were actually people, he still couldn't have survived for that long. The boat would have sunk, or Pi would have died of thirst, starvation, hypothermia/hyperthermia (depending on the temperature) - or a combination of them.
The only reason that I haven't given this 1 is that the special effects are good.
