"Life of Pi" is one of, if not the, most visually awe-inspiring films ever made. It's that simple. The special effects and cinematography are astounding in this tale of faith and hope. Like last year's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", you will catch yourself thinking twice about whether you are watching a CGI animal or the real thing as you see Pi interact with the tiger Richard Parker as they try to survive together. While the visuals are incredible, the story isn't quite its equal. There are some riveting moments that will tear your heart out, and there are some scenes that don't quite pack the emotional punch they should. Suraj Sharma is terrific as the title character and is up to the task of being the only actor on screen for the majority of the film, even amidst the sometimes underwhelming script. That being said, this is a very good film with tremendous visuals that needs to be experienced.
