Already bought tickets online for Saturday morning show in 3D at 1U... *sings Paradise song*

I can't remember when I last watched a film in 3D... this year maybe, but even so I'm not sure.

Even if got 2D, I would go for 3D. I just feel 3D would do justice for a film like this (...as praised by James Camerson himself for how 3D works in this film).

A potential best of 2012. Let's see.

Just back

I heard a lot about the popularity of this movie but not watched yet if i get a chance will surely watch it in my free time.

what do mean by "even if got 2D"??

did u mean there is no 2D??

no love for Saeglopur?

beautiful story

watch it in 3D last nite

beautiful story, wonderful breathtaking CG, explosion of colors, but don't expect a Avatar class 3D

3D added extra dept, but doesn't stand out like Avatar, there are many scenes Ang Lee could have transformed into eye popping 3D, but he choose not to overdo it
there are many out of this world scenes that really will make you WOW! stop breathing or even stop your heartbeat for a few moment
but the scenery are just among the best I've ever seen, among my top 3 list
So either go watch it in 2D or 3D is a must

story wise, I didn't read the book, so I dunno how faithfully it's to the book, and how "unfilmable" the book as someone claimed to be.
It's a wonderful & very touching story, full of philosophy about gods, love, faith, and most importantly, what you want to believe.
And mind you, the messages it tried to delivery is mind blowing, but you won't feel it immediately after the show, but once you started to digest it, it will come back to you like a hammer to knock you senseless, so watch out for the ending
it's a movie that worth a second watch
one quote came into my mind after digesting the ending, quoting a famous quote from another movie


some may find it slow and boring, if you never like the movie Cast Away, then you'll hate it as well, it's unfortunate that I end-up in a hall with lots of idiot movie goer that can't understand the movie, they actually laugh at few of the very emotional scenes



9.5/10
minus -0.5 for James Cameron's remark about the 3D, kena tipu

Thanks. So watching it in 3D is worth it, yes? I only watched 3D in the theater for twice in my life and twice I was conned (Shrek and Avengers). There was only 2-3 scenes of 3D in total and it was a total ripoff.

Please confirm if there are enough 3D effects in LoP to do the movie justice? Thanks again

since there's no 2D version AFAIK, only analog or 3D

then must go watch in 3D, analog won't do justice to the beauty of the scenes

the best 3D so far is still Avatar, Pi still not up to it's mark, but nonetheless it's worth to watch in 3D

btw, 3D effects are just condiments, the main dish is the story telling, side dish is the scenery

Yeah I know about the story since I've read the book some time ago. Just wanna know if my money will be justified if I decided to watch it on 3D instead of the normal screenings. Thanks for the prompt response

Sh*t... it finally happened.

I tried to hold it in one last time but failed... I really felt it and the d*mn scene just kept going, eventually it rolled down my cheeks.

If I were to write a review of the movie, it will be filled with the finest words in any language. In short, no words can really explain how I felt about this film, it is just something you have to see and feel for yourself.

This is, officially, the best film I've seen in 2012. And in recent years. The most visually stunning film I've seen since "Avatar".

It deserves nothing, absolutely nothing less than a perfect 10/10. The last perfect I awarded was to "Toy Story 3".

Golden Globes, BAFTA, The Oscar - it would be mad not to honor this film.

Lastly, indeed I walked out the cinema with heavy feeling... a feeling oh so few films (none this year fyi) have been able to do to me. And that is worth the price of any d*mn ticket.

It also means an absolute guaranteed in my mind, a nomination for "Best Picture" at the 85th Academy Awards.

Would love to watch it again, but I'm reluctant.

the ending... i see not many people understand it or maybe they do cause they already chose the story they wanted to believe in

Not many people will understand the actual message from the film. Actually I was a little annoyed the film's version was much more forgiving than the novel's. I guess they just had to settle with a PG rating for better box office result.

my mind has been blown into pieces after watching this....

it just kept on playing in my mind even after finished watching it.. i mean the meaning of life brought out by this movie is too damn incredible... like greyshadow mentioned... u won't fully understand it immediately after finishing the film but slowly after that, when u started to digest the meaning of each of the scenes, u will realize how awesome it is the way the author tell a story about life all in this masterpiece.

and the oasis... i have to google to understand the true meaning of it....

totally mind blowing...

PI (Piscine Molitor Patel) = Tamil ?

Initially i thought the 3D effect of the movie it's their main selling point but i'm wrong. The story itself is the main point. it start quiet slow. even my gf got bored but it start gradually inside you when after 30 minutes watching it. i feel RM46 worth spend to this money. The lesson of never give up is one beautiful thing that have i ever watch in movie...very recommended movie..even me n my gf discuss the message behind it after watching it..lol

IMO the only good thing about the 3D was the establishing shots at the beginning of the film the depth was really evident other than damn I'm disappointed. And what's with the sudden change in aspect ratio in certain scenes.

Happens to all 3D movies imo. After a while the effects just don't impress anymore.

Can't say I was terrible impressed with the film too. I read the book a long time ago when I was a kid, so I had no notions about how filmmable it is back then, and I had already forgotten almost the entire book anyway, but watching the film you get the idea what people were saying about it being unfilmmable. Plus I thought Irfan Khan and that writer were just bad actors. Theirs parts are short but important, and thanks to them the film is unable to effectively drive home its main point.
