Film adaption is never easy. We've seen failed example like "Da Vinci Code".
Life of Pi talks about how a young man survived on the sea for almost a year, with a tiger.
Thanks to technology nowadays. I don't have to read the book to reimagine the scenes: the movie has done homework on visualization.
It is almost on par with Avatar's awesome level.
About life and choices, I thought the floating island is a metaphor on life & choices: he can choose to survive on island, while risking himself eaten by the algae, or risk himself to go back to the civilization.
I watched the 2D version. Visually stunning and I appreciate the cinematography.
My sis and tc will watch 3D version: I guess it's gonna be nice too.
Movie of the year? Maybe. But I thought "Argo" did a fantastic job as well. So it's hard to choose.
There's definitely no doubt that Ang Lee has got this film adaption well done.
Anyway, in the end, I thought what really happened during his survival was: he ate human flesh to survive.
Rating: 9/10
