I doubt he'd get away with the "no animals were harmed in the making of this film" line though
"No animals were harmed in the making of this film. However Martin Sheen had a heart attack, Marlon Brando went nuts, and Dennis Hopper was off his face on smack"
I remember seeing the trailer for it whilst watching Lawless and I thought it looked pretty good and it looks like the sort of film that will probably win a lot of awards?
seen it twice now. The 3D was pretty pointless in my view, but the cinematography is stunning, the film follows the book fairly closely (there is one major section missed out, but this does not really impact on the story), the acting is good, partituclalry from the main guy (who's name escapes me) and the SFX on the animals are excellent, especially Richard Parker. The only thing I was not keen on was the use of florescent images at a couple of points in the story - the whale in particular, but this is clearly a matter of taste.
Very good film and well worth a watch. Needs to be seen on the big screen
Went to see this on Tuesday evening and thought that it was probably the most visually stunning flick I've seen this year...however it's also (quality wise) one of the most uneven.
The mid section of this movie (dedicated to PI's 'adventure' @ sea) is very decent indeed but what occurs before and after that is actually pretty tedious.
That said, I'd still recommend going to see 'Life Of Pi' but just be prepared for the occasional bout of clocking watching (especially in the last 15 or so minutes)...
the tiger is the star in this film , from the clip i seen
It is, but the Meerkats almost steal the show! I saw a 3d screening the other night. I didn't know the book so didn't know what to expect. Absolutely visually stunning and I love the music too. I would highly recommend the film.
It reminded me a bit of that John Boorman film Hell in the Pacific , particularly one scene where the tiger does something , which I won't spoil , but he finds it very funny .

You need to see this.
don't know how they did the tiger , some of it must be fake but it looked good to me .
the story does make you think , it involves te audience because it asks you what sort of story you want to hear .

Ang Lee has achieved a great feat in filming what many considered an impossible book (Yann Martel's) to film.
It's a delightfully gentle story, that is both touching and uplifting.
And surprisingly, the 3D is used to great effect and one of the superior examples of its use in modern cinema today.
Oh and the CGI is breathtaking.
