Life of Pi

Anyone who hasn't seen Life of Pi really should. I was never into Avatar and couldn't even make it halfway through without falling asleep, and apparently this is similar, but this was so good sometimes it was eerie. It was a little like stepping into a futuristic and ersatz photo-realist painting of some kind of crazy trip. I lived for every scene where it would just show the boat in the vast expanse of water, whether it was from under or over or far off on the horizon and you couldn't even tell it was water it was floating in;  they did such a good job with the graphics it was the perfect mix of a weird dreamlike magic and a creepy feeling of loneliness. It made me want to be lost at sea at night, just to experience that otherworldly emptiness that you're in the middle of but not involved in at all.
