Life of Pi

Drama
4.5 stars
Awesome.  Suraj Sharma stars as a boy stuck on a lifeboat with a tiger, but there's so much more to it than that. Irrfan Khan costars as the adult version of Sharma.  The visual effects are stunning, except for that very fake looking whale that they showed in the previews.  At first I was very skeptical of going to the film since heavily advertised films usually stink.  The ending felt a little hokey but how else would you wrap up such a fantastic tale?  If you liked films like the Black Stallion and Castaway (the first half of each of those films anyway) then this film is a must.  I hope the Blu Ray version includes a "making of" segment, because I think that would be worth seeing.  Loved it.
