...an underwhelming adaptation of an underwhelming book.

A movie that can't be dismissed because there is too much in it but can't be embraced because it's all spread too thin.

There's an audience out there for this movie, but the question is whether they will find it.

"Life of Pi" isn't just a visual effects movie stuck at sea. There's a compelling story here as well.

This is a gorgeous film (in 3D) as Lee, adapting the Yann Martel book, pushes the tale beyond the realm of teen adventure into existential parable.

Gerard Depardieu gets the most oversold star billing since Marlon Brando was Superman's absentee father. Depardieu looms over less than a minute of screen time. Not that we miss him when he's gone; we just wonder why he was there in the first place.

Flawed, yes, but marvellously ambitious, and unforgettably gorgeous to look at.

[Director] Ang Lee's strongest work to date.
November 22, 2012
Mr. Lee's film is stronger as a visual experience-especially in 3-D-than an emotional one, but it has a final plot twist that may also change what you thought you knew about the ancient art of storytelling.

The movie's energy peters out in a series of book-club conversations about divine will, the power of storytelling, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Veteran filmmakers will warn you, don't film at sea and don't work with animals. Ang Lee built a vast tank in Taiwan and he whips up awesome storms. [However,] watching the water here is more rewarding than watching the characters.

'Life of Pi' is a sort of mash-up of 'We Bought a Zoo,' 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,' and 'Castaway.' It's an enchanting coming-of-age story, and an oceanic vision quest.
