Pai, an 11-year-old girl in a patriarchal New Zealand tribe, believes she is destined to be the new chief. But her grandfather Koro is bound by tradition to pick a male leader. Pai loves Koro more than anyone in the world, but she must fight him and a thousand years of tradition to fulfill her destiny.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A young man who survives a disaster at sea is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. While cast away, he forms an unexpected connection with another survivor: a fearsome Bengal tiger. Life of Pi is not just beautiful in terms of special effects but also in terms of cinematography with Director Ang Lee giving us a film that although we've seen before it's still very stunning, interesting and intense with some scenes that are just stealing the whole show. Definitely a movie that i did not expected to enjoy that whole much. (8/10)

An epic journey of adventure and discovery layered with messages about the true nature of God and storytelling, told in a fabulist style. Very life-like special effects are used to good effect - critical in terms of telling a story about a young man and a connection with a fearsome Bengal tiger. The film borders on brilliance for the large part because of the skilful storytelling at sea and marvellous cinematography. But, since it's been elevated into 'great film' and '10 out of 10' territory by many reviewers who are led by sensation alone, it is worth pointing out that illusion is one of at least a dozen critical elements to a film's triumph. Illusion must be tightly linked to meaning and truth. Pleasingly, the special effects meet this criteria. Unfortunately, the film's narrative does not. The backstory about a writer who has writer's block serves as bathos, worsened by a self-important dialogue which produces some stilted acting at times. As a fairytale and a survival drama it keeps nature 'red in tooth and claw' which is refreshing. If only we didn't have the flash-forwards because it spoilt the tension created by Suraj Sharma's lead performance which was enchanting. All in all, it's a very good film. Its false note is a relentless articulation of thematic aims which failed to create enough subtext.

Splendid imaginative artwork. Even touched by the beautiful main plot without some reviews discussing the truth of Pi's story, when I saw which I get more shocked. Ang Lee hides what he wanna express so well, and it is quite horrible to see this guy inside through his two actually obscure movies - Lust, Caution and Life of Pi.

There isn't much wrong with the movie everything is pretty much perfect the acting, the visuals, the story are all points that stand out about this movie and they are all executed well. The Life of Pi is a story that everyone in the world should get to know.
