REVIEW BY NATALIE WARWICK
Life of Pi is a visual masterpiece. The special affects and cinematography are fabulous. The colours and the vibrancy are so stunning and the beauty of the animals in particular, are captured amazingly well. In 3D you feel as thgough they could jump out of the screen. It truly encapsulates an amazing cinema experience.
Not only is it a feast for the eyes and an epic adventure it is brimming with metaphores concerning the big questions in life, such as: the meaning of life? does God exist? What is true faith? and so on and so forth. It tells the story of Pi and of his extrordinary journey when a cargo ship transporting his family from India to Canada sinks leaving him shipwrecked with Richard Parker, the friendly Bengal Tiger!!
The movie experience is thoroughly entertaining and awe inspiring, However I felt that something may have been lost in translation from the book. I felt there was a core density to the story which wasn't coming through as well as it should have on screen. Don't get me wrong it's fabulous and deserves all the awards people want to throw at it but I think I'm going to read the book to fill in the gaps.
