Summary of Life of Pi

Yann Martel's ponderous adventure novel gets the big-screen treatment with this Fox 2000 adaptation helmed by director Ang Lee. The coming-of-age story surrounds the son of a zookeeper who survives a shipwreck by stowing away on a lifeboat with a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena, and a Bengal tiger by the name of Richard Parker. Suraj Sharma heads up the cast as the young boy, with Gérard Depardieu, Adil Hussain, Irrfan Khan, Tobey Maguire, and Bollywood actress Tabu also starring.

Good movie
I went in knowing very little about the movie, just that it garnered great reviews. The movie didn't disappoint. I enjoy when a good movie can also bring diversity into Hollywood and this one did it. It also featured some really beautiful...
Beautifully photographed....
....but it's still a pretentious bore. Reminds me of those Films froms the 70s and 80s like 2001 and Zabriskie Point which think they're so meaningful but are, in fact, meaningless. Remind me never to watch an Ang Lee film again.
Likely to see
Not for me
