Based on the best-selling novel by Yann Martel, is a magical adventure story centering on Pi Patel, the precocious son of a zookeeper. Dwellers in Pondicherry, India, the family decides to move to Canada, hitching a ride on a huge freighter. After a shipwreck, Pi is found adrift in the Pacific Ocean on a 26-foot lifeboat with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan and a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker, all fighting for survival.[Metacritic]
The lifeboat section is great but over all it's kind of disjointed and unsatisfying. The visuals are beautiful and the possible truth of the second story and how that changes the first is interesting but doesn't really work.
