I was fortunate enough to get preview tickets to Ang Lee's latest film, an adaptation of Yann Martel's book Life of Pi, and it turned out to be a great freebie.
Though I haven't read the book (yet) and can't comment on how successful the translation to film is, as a movie in its own right it's a great watch: colourful, imaginative and moving. For once the use of 3D - which I usually dislike - seems entirely apt, lending an extra dimension (no pun intended) to the fantastical photography.
It remains to be seen whether the film will be the success it deserves to be - after all, a film about a boy lost at sea with only a tiger for company is probably quite a hard sell - but if there's any justice it'll be a huge hit.
