Opinion
Life of Pi is a journey into the human soul, among dreams, hopes and nightmares. Pi's quote «God, thank you for giving me my life.» is able to sum up the meaning of the film.
Ang Lee (Academy Award winner for Best Directory) is remarkable as usual. I believe any possible word that can be used to describe the cinematography would be in a way offensive. Visual Effects are perfectly used. This film is worthy its 127 minutes.

Quotes
I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go, but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.
He was such an evil man. But worse still, he brought the evil out in me. I have to live with that.
