Major Media Reviews: Newsweek says “Stunning” and Los Angeles Times says “A Masterpiece” and I would have to agree with both!
Our Thoughts: Hubby and I sat down a few days ago and watched this DVD from start to finish! He had seen it before at the movie theater but this was the first time that I have seen it.
I first want to state this…the photography done for this movie is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and the acting is impeccable and “on-cue”. I would classify the movie as being a fantasy-adventure and it was well-written (it flowed nicely from beginning to end).
I was really engrossed in the relationship that develops between Pi and Richard Parker (the tiger) and it was amazing to see that relationship & bond develop between a human and an animal. It was totally believeable, even though it’s a fantasy/adventure piece.
I am not going to tell you the ending on whether or not they get rescued, because I really think you need to watch the entire movie and I don’t want to spoil the ending for you.
This is one movie you definitely need to see and since receiving our review copy, we have watched it three times! Every time we watch it, we see or hear something new! We give it 9 stars out of 10 stars on our movie rating scale! Where’s the popcorn? LOL
