Life of Pi (2012) Review

Ang Lee proved himself a great director with such a successful book to film adaptation. And he got mostly everything right, with awesome effects, great acting, good storytelling, and entertaining adventure. It may be one of the few movies that's better than the book. But it's far from perfect. In the start, there are enough amusing characters to elevate pi's origin. And although the book is written that way, the movie dwells far too long on everything that we don't to see. We finally get to Pi's crash and solo adventure, but it's not exciting enough. There enough events happening for the movie to be somewhat interesting, but it never becomes extremely entertaining. And the killing flaw of the movie: it can't be great if every moment doesn't grab your attention.
Movie Rating: B
