The Life of Pi (film)

Largely unmoved by the film The Life of Pi

Although the technical effects are impressive, I tend to agree with the reviews in The Guardian and The New Statesman.

The Guardian: "the adventures of Pi and the tiger are cancelled by an exasperating ending"

The New Statesman: "David Magee’s screenplay is hamstrung by the banality of the points in Martel’s novel about the intersection between storytelling and faith. The film begins with the adult Pi promising he has a tale that will make anyone believe in God. It ends with a twist – well, more of a mild kink – that provides a new definition of anti-climax. The impression you take from Life of Pi is that of an extravagantly decorated cake with nothing inside but the wisdom of a fortune cookie".
