Life of Pi is a 3D live-action computer-animated adventure
drama film directed by Ang Lee based on the best-selling novel written in 2001
by Yann Martel. The film is released in 2012 in American and the adapted
screenplay was written by David Magee. The magical adventure story is centering
on Pi Patel, the precocious son of a zoo keeper in India. The family decides to
move to Canada, hitching a ride on a huge freighter. Pi luckily survived a
shipwreck in which all his family died. And he stranded in the Pacific Ocean on
a 26-foot lifeboat with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan and a 450-pound Bengal
tiger named Richard Parker, all fighting for survival.
The film emerged as a critical and commercial success,
earning over $609 million worldwide. And after scoring four Academy Awards,
Life of Pi is sure to attract lots of attention on home video, and it deserves
it. On March 12, 2013, 20th Century Fox released Life of Pi 3D Blu-ray which
includes Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD and UltraViolet. 20th Century Fox's Blu-ray
release does justice to the film's eye-candy visuals—particularly if you go for
the 3D version—and the disc includes a wealth of special features, including a
terrific hour-long making-of documentary. Highly recommended!
