While Yann Martel\u2019s novel of the same name suggests that the entire adventure is allegorical\u2014that the hyena is really a cook and that the tiger is actually the hero who kills the cook\u2014the movie should be taken at face value.  A tiger is a tiger is a tiger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLife of Pi\u201d is filmed in a 3D which is artistically useful rather than simply a commercial method of sending spears into our noses and allowing box offices to charge outrageous prices.  Hitting the theaters fresh from an opening-night world premiere at the New York Film Festival, Ang Lee\u2019s movie, adapted from Yann Martel\u2019s novel by David Magee, could scare kids younger than eight since, after all, the hyena and the tiger do engage in some kills, albeit not too graphically shown, and several times compete with the wind and the waves to provide an ending to the hero\u2019s fragile life.<\/p>\n<p>The film\u2019s initial frame is shot in Pondicherry, India, honing in on Santosh Patel (Adil Hussain) and his wife (Tabu)\u2014both educated people who take loving care of their son Pi while operating a zoo in that former French colony. Their young son Piscine (Gautam Belur at age five and Ayush Tandon at age eleven) is bright, curious, and testing religions to see which fit best.  Unwilling to decide on any one faith, the young vegetarian commits himself to the God and gods of the Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and later studies enough Kabbala to find room for Judaism.  As a middle-aged adult (irrfan Khan), he tells the story of his adventures to a writer (Rafe Spall standing in for novelist Yann Martel), who is transfixed enough to base his book on the older Pi\u2019s virtual monologue.  The storytelling goes on so long that we in the audience are wondering whether we\u2019re in the right movie, but sure enough, we watch nature gain revenge for reasons we know not of, by wrecking a Japanese cargo ship that is carrying the family and their animals to Montr\u00e9al, where the beasts are scheduled to be sold.   Pi (Suraj Sharma) is the lone human survivor, though he shares his small space with an orangutan, a zebra, a hyena, and ultimately a huge, menacing Bengal tiger that could end his life sooner than the tempestuous ocean.<\/p>\n<p>As brilliant 3D photography captures the tumbling of the waves and the unfair fight that results in the hyena\u2019s killing the zebra and the tiger\u2019s clawing the hyena to death, Pi must spend his time resisting the current while fending off the murderous moves by the Richard Parker, as the tiger was named in a mix-up at birth.   While most rational people would expect nature to have its way, leaving the ship with no survivors, Pi attempts both to ward off the tiger\u2019s advances with an oar and to accustom the beast to himself by months of their mutual company.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the surprises include the tiger\u2019s ability to swim like a large dog after jumping into the water and later heaving himself back to the boat; Pi\u2019s attempt to mark territory by peeing in his area, an act met by the tiger\u2019s unleashing a flood of urine to cover the entire boat; and a few looks at the brilliance of nature by casting the ocean into a kaleidoscopic copy of the universe.  It helps greatly that Suraj Sharma as Pi turns in a phenomenal freshman performance, having been chosen after interviews with 3,000 candidates for this lead role.  During the filming of the picture, Sharma loses a considerable amount of weight and grows and awesome body of hair on his head.  He even increases the tan on his body.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLife of Pi\u201d will enthrall people of all ages, scaring the youngest while riveting the adults.  Though it\u2019s difficult to keep those infernal 3D glasses on for the duration of the film, \u201cLife of Pi\u201d does not overextend its welcome at just over two hours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rated PG.
