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. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Kyle C An excellent adaptation of an excellent book, though the energy differs between the formats. While the book prioritizes slow, thoughtful, intimate connections with the characters, the movie opts for more audio and visual spectacle through which to tell the story. The film both embellishes and simplifies a lot of aspects of the story, but most of the changes are understandable given the medium. It’s difficult to provide the same narrative depth in this format, but the filmmakers have done a good job of still hitting the highlights of the story and getting similar points across. The film is one of the most visually beautiful that I’ve seen. The special effects do manage to keep up with the director’s intent, though only barely. But the use of color and scale dive so much depth to everything on screen, miraculously making each scene feel unique, despite most of the story taking place in a tiny boat on an empty ocean. Not to mention the music which magnificently blends traditional Indian music with French and sea-faring influences, much like the titular character’s background. The ending reveal still carries a lot of weight, even when you know it’s coming, mostly due to the excellent performances from the actors. Inspirational and touching, Life of Pi is a narrative, visual, and audio spectacle that absolutely deserves all of the awards it won. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Lou M An exceptional achievement. I was deeply stirred in a way I found hard to understand. Something important for me was uncovered in the watching. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Lyla R The images created with CGI enhance the movie to a very high level. The CGI is so good, especially for its time, like I genuinely thought the tiger was real, when in reality it was just a stuffed toy. I think the CGI definitely adds to the film, but at times you could tell that there was a green screen. For example when Pi and Richard Parker were looking over the ocean you could tell it was a green screen. Overall I thought it was a great movie and I really loved the use of CGI. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Daxton K The Life of Pi was very engaging and fun film. I think the story telling narrative was very good and the cgi in this film was extraordinary. The tiger looked so life like and since it was so life like you really felt like Pi was in danger when in reality he was not. I think my favorite scene where cgi was used is when the whale comes out of the water because it looked really good. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Cormac A The Life of pi was very engaging with the cgi like the where the whale jumps out of the water or sharks swimming in front of him or even the tiger that is with pi the whole movie are cgi which makes this movie even more impressive than just the engaging plot.
