The Life of Pi (2012)

Yesterday I went to see The Life of Pi. With the exception of some opening shots in a zoo, just about all of the animals it it are CGI - computer generated imagery. If you know the story that the film is based on, then you'll understand why. Protests would arise if real animals were used during the filming of the  shipwreck. You've heard about the tiger in this movie, right? Like alot of celebrities, he's a complete fake, but looks amazing - the textures, the eyes, the movements, the swimming in the water. It's really incredible. CGI has come a long way.

 Here are some reviews from:

Roger Ebert (4 stars)  |  Leonard Maltin's review  | Peter Travers review
