Life of Pi

Another film that won a fair amount of awards when it was released is Life of Pi.
The book is a best selling hit so lets see how i felt about it.
As you can imagine, the film is obviously about maths but this is not one of the better films about maths. The discovery of Pi is interesting but not as interesting as some films such as a beautiful mind that really show the brilliance of the mind and the maths about it.

I can see why people have been saying that this film isn't anywhere near as good as people it was made out to be. It is just about on a par with Argo- which makes it terrible.
Once again it was a film that i managed to watch whilst doing something else so it's fair to say that i wasn't particularly moved by it.

filmed using flashbacks to explain the story, it had a similar resemblance to Slum dog millionaire, in fact, striking resemblance now that i really think about it. The flashbacks helped explain the story well and it definitely suited the film but i don't know what it is that put me off but maybe because there are so many similarities between Danny Boyle's film and this film.
Yes there are a lot of differences but to start with the comparisons were just filtering through which is never good.

I've included the synopsis underneath for anyone that wants to watch the film.

A young man who survives a disaster at sea is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. While cast away, he forms an unexpected connection with another survivor: a fearsome Bengal tiger.
