If indeed, you want to experience something thoughtful, Life of pi never forces you on a particular thought, instead it whispers ever so slightly to think about matters of human disposition and finding comfort in convention while caressing your senses with fabulous visuals and background score. If you are in a mood for a thrilling adventure epic on weekend, this is the right ticket. If you are just looking for a beautiful 3D movie to feast your eyes, Life of pi can be it. More interestingly, 'when does man become a beast'? But worry not, Ang Lee's movie does not force you think on these lines, instead it's a film that lets you enjoy it on so many levels. Yes, like the posters and trailers have you believe, there is a boat on which a man and a tiger have to live! This makes 'life of pi' not only a story of human struggle against nature but also a profound tale that questions 'what separates man from beast?'.

What distinguishes this tale of survival from the rest is that the author dishes out a delicious slice of creativity in giving the castaway, a tiger for a companion.

It's a story set in the late seventies of an Indian teenager (Pi Patel) who is stranded on a life boat in the pacific. Ang lee's life of pi is an adaptation of a 'Man booker prize winner' novel by the same name, written by Yann Martel.
