Life Of Pi (Nov 2012)

Li Of Pi, touted to be the next Avatar, because of its extravagant 3D special effect (by TIME). Directed by Lee Ang (famous director from Taiwan that brought us Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon [2000], Hulk [2003], Broke Back Mountain [2005], Lust, Caution [2007] and the more recent one Taking Woodstock [2009]).

Adapted from Yann Martel's famous fantasy adventure novel with the same name (first published in Sep 2001). Life Of Pi is a true visual treats that all fantasy fans will love to love! As quoted by the director, Ang Lee, the most challenging tasks for any director is to deal with water and animal. In this case, he need to deal with both (a real and computer graphic Bengal Tiger as well as lots of water). 

The story about how a young boy called Pi and a Bengal Tiger survived a ship disaster might seems less than impressive, but the special effects and the spiritual content are more than enough to satisfy audience from all ages.
