I thought that the movie was going to be a bore and I would take the time to take a nap, but when the move started after the twenty minutes of commercials, it started to get to me.

The simplicity of the movie was engaging and the moral ethics behind how Pi survived while he was at sea was magnetic. I was just in awe the whole time.…
