Life of Pi - Review

This one is different from the other films, that's the main reason I wanted to watch it and I really enjoyed it, ait's a slowly adventure film with lots of emotions and drama, one of the best films of the year for sure!

The plot is very easy: "Based on the best-selling novel by Yann Martel, is a magical adventure story centering on Pi Patel, the precocious son of a zoo keeper. Dwellers in Pondicherry, India, the family decides to move to Canada, hitching a ride on a huge freighter. After a shipwreck, Pi finds himself adrift in the Pacific Ocean on a 26-foot lifeboat with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan and a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker, all fighting for survival."

The main protagonist is a young boy that believes a lot in God, so this film is very religious as Pi believes in three different religions, during this film he loses everything including his family and he tries his best to survive lost in the ocean with a bengal tiger named Richard Parker (I have to say I smiled when I heard the story about the reason why the tiger is named like that!).

This is a very simple movie but you easily forget that while watching it as it has lots of amazing views and very beautiful landscapes and special effects of natural life and wild creatures. The animals in this film look very real when the CGI effects appear...

This is a different kind of film, a good one where you'll believe in whatever you want to once it ends and that's the beauty of it, sometimes you have to hide the sad truth with a beautiful adventure story about survival...

BEST - All the natural landspaces and the entire adventure lost in the ocean!
WORST - I hoped for a better ending...
