MaestroReviews

Deb and I are artists, painters actually. We go see films as often as once a week. That's right, we go to the theater and sit in a dark room with strangers to see movies. We rarely rent. We like "little" movies, foreign and documentary films. We try to stay away from mainstream and blockbusters whenever possible, but a couple sneak in each year. We seek out the obscure. We try to avoid violent movies, and that really limits our choices, most film makers seem to think violence makes a story interesting.
I try not to give anything away in the reviews, but offer an honest reaction.
We rate them 1~10, 10 being highest.

Life of Pi 3-D

Deb 10    Me 10

So after seeing this in 2-D we were persuaded to see this in 3-D. We both really dug the movie so we saw it again with enthusiasm. Afterward we both said the exact same thing, "Whatta great movie, 3-D did nothing to improve it". One friend remarked that the new 3-D is so real that you forget about it after a few minutes. Well, I didn't forget about it but it didn't change the story or really enhance the experience. The surprises were still surprises, the beautiful effects were still beautiful regardless of the amount of Ds added. 
If you like symbols and metaphors, then this is a great movie, it's filled with 'em. If you ask me, there's more than they imply. I've talked to people who were less than impressed with the movie and their criticisms were just wrong; its very good.
