Life of Pi is as usual based on a book. I do love that it stayed very close to the book so readers will not be disappointed seeing this movie.
The cinematography was amazing... half the movie could be made into screensavers :)
The trailer doesn't show the intended viewers how philosophical the book would be. The main character has a double major in religion and zoology. So expect discussion of both in depth.
It is a movie about a survivor of a shipwreck... so don't expect a ton of conversation and action. It is supposed to be slow at points. If you liked Castaway you will like this movie.
Best line: "We are going to sail like Columbus!" - father tells son when discussing leaving India
"But Columbus was looking for India!" - son's response :)
