Was the Life of Pi really that great of a movie?

Asked by Wine (641

Originally I wasn’t interested in watching a movie about a boy stuck on a boat with a tiger for a decent 2 hours. Then I constantly heard of how “it was actually a good movie.”

While trying to keep an open mind during the movie I still felt like it was a drag and was bored the entire time. Why is it that some find this plot so amazing?

It scores 88% on the Tomato-meter (fresh, not rotten). Personally I’d give it 4 out of 5 stars.

The book is not good. I can’t imagine the movie would be much better.

SPOLIER ALERT!!!!

It was visually fantastic, but I also found it to be a little slow and I rarely say that about movies (even the ones that most people complain about being too slow). I also didn’t understand how the story would make anyone believe in God. There is a line in the story where the main character says “And so it is with God.” I didn’t understand what he meant by that – that we believe in God because it is a better story??
