Life of Pi (2012)
A visually stunning film from animation company Rhythm & Hues Studios about a boy stranded on the ocean in a lifeboat with a tiger.
However there's a CGI fakeness about swathes of the film especially the ship sinking, whilst the story, what there was, lacked any sort of engagement with me and the feeling i had at the end was that i'd just watched Slumdog Titanic and it all came over as so worthy and anti-climactic and at two hours, mind numbingly long.
Hitchcock's brilliant Lifeboat (1944) this is not.
