I am a huge fan of Yann Martel's book and I couldn't see how this gorgeous, crazy, unbelievable story could be translated to the big screen. Oh, my friggin' gosh!!! This was simply beautiful. It completely exceeded my expectations. It was amazing in 3D. I think this is one of those movies that should be seen this way. I could really feel the rough seas, the deep bengal tiger growl and the gentle rocking.
The casting was excellent. Suraj Sharma was perfect as 16 year old shipwrecked Pi. I had seen it mentioned that Gerard Depardieu was in it. I am surprised he was even mentioned for the brief 30 seconds he has on screen.
I love Richard Parker!
Thank you Nuffnang and 20th Century Fox for this experience.
Ooh exciting! I love Nuffnang movie nights. I went to their The Artist one a few months ago.
ReplyDeleteI missed that one, I would have loved to have seen it. Rx
DeleteI had seen nuffnag were giving tickets away for review I completely forgot sound like a great movie!
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing! I am going to see it again with my girls when It comes out. Rx
DeleteI never finished this book, but now I will because what I've seen of the movie is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI would finish it before you see the movie. I think it helped with my enjoyment. Rx
DeleteI thought the movie looked good, so I'll see it now for sure. I never knew it was a book though! :-)

The book was a best seller quite a while ago :)
DeleteI've heard such good things about this author! I'll have to read the book before the movie comes out next year
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I read the book first. It helped me understand certain parts of the movie. Rx
DeleteI can't wait to see it - that reminds me, I wanted to read it again before I watch the movie. Glad you enjoyed it :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it too :)
DeleteI can't wait to see the movie... I'm happy you liked it!
ReplyDeleteI loved it! It was visually amazing. Rx
DeleteI think depardieu was "also" rather than starring. I loved Richard Parker too!
ReplyDeleteI think you are right :)
DeleteI LOVED this book... Mr Cool and I have a deal that if I go and see 'Skyfall' with him, he will see 'The Life if Pi' with me!
ReplyDeleteI really want to see Skyfall too. Let me know what you think. Rx
