Good but not original.

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2002)

The plot is not as original as many reviewers seem to think. After 10 minutes I found myself wondering if the screenplay had been based loosely on Umberto Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum" (which was published around 1990). As the film went on I became more and more convinced I was right.
Anyway, this is an interesting film but not to most people's taste I suspect (if you like crap such as "Independence Day" and buddy cop films then give "Pi" a miss!). I did find the use of monochrome film very pretentious!

I wouldn't call this "Sci-Fi" but then that's not the film's fault.
If you enjoyed this film then I recommend you read "Foucault's Pendulum".
9/10 including 2 bonus points for not being predictable boring crap like 99.999% of the rubbish Hollywood churns out.
