Romas M To say that "Life of Pi" (2012) is one the two best movie that was made in 2012 is to say nothing. This is visually most stunning film I've seen in years upon its release in 2012. The film looks gorgeous. There are plenty of breathtaking scenes of skies and waters capes, animals and an almost entirely CGI creation in form of Bengali tiger named Richard Parker which makes for an amazing character. The way it was animated is a thing of beauty. I was like a kid while watching this movie for the first time and i couldn't recall when the last time that happened. I was so frustrated upon a fact that i haven't seen this movie in a movie theater upon its release. I watched Blu Ray on my HD projector many times and it was incredible stuff (the 2:35 aspect scene is also a thing of beauty). Years later i bought the 4K UHD disk, and rewatched this movie. It's as spectacular as it was in 2012. Also beyond all the visual beauty, there is a underlaying story here about never surrender it and letting it go. Directing by And Lee was incredible - in my opinion this is his best movie (and i do like "Crouching Tiger" very much). The cinematography was breathtaking. Music is very beautiful. Acting by all three actors that played Pi was amazing. Overall, watch this masterpiece on the biggest screen that you can find, this is a movie for ages. The ending is so unexpected, that makes you rethink the whole film. "Life of Pi" is a movie magic and one of the most unforgettable movies ever made. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/25 Full Review Calvin O "Life of Pi" is a visually stunning and imaginative cinematic journey that earns its 6/10 rating through its strengths and a few noticeable weaknesses. The film's strength lies in its breathtaking cinematography and groundbreaking visual effects, which bring the remarkable story to life with unparalleled beauty and wonder. Suraj Sharma's performance as Pi is commendable, considering the challenging role he undertakes. The score by Mychael Danna enhances the emotional depth of the narrative, although some might find it a bit overpowering at times. While the film's symbolism and philosophical themes resonate with some viewers, others may find them somewhat heavy-handed, affecting the overall impact of this otherwise visually captivating and thought-provoking tale. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review Daniel C. M Despite the film's story trying a little too hard with it's more heavy moments and tones, specially spoonfeeding to the viewer moments that should've remained more subtle; Life of Pi is nevertheless a true visual spectacle and a great lesson in entertaining yet intelligent filmmaking; not only featuring some of the best visual effects of this century, but also emotionally grasping the viewer in a way you definitely aren't prepared for it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Gabriel S Life of Pi was such a fun watch, super engaging, and heartfelt. The storms looked amazing and realistic just like the tiger. I’ve always loved movies told as stories since Narnia so this film was exciting for me. My favorite part was watching all the fish fly around Pi. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review Rohan P After reading the book, I found this movie to be quite dissapointing. I was never drawn in, and it felt like it was missing something. I wish they delved more into Pi's religious backstory, as I found that to be one of the most interesting parts of the book. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review phil f la interaccion del tigre con pi, me encanto. esta pelicula se me hizo super creativa, y aunque gran parte de ella se trata de ir en un bote, nunca se siente aburrida.
