If nothing else the film is visually amazing. I'd easily recommend it to anyone.

I was worried about that myself, Kevin. It's very true to the novel with only minor changes. I'd actually urge you to go and see it.

It just uses the same quote from the book. The religiousity of the opening chapters of the book isn't played up to quite the same extent in the film but, unlike the book, it is repeated a few times later in the story.
It's no more theologically challenging than the book.

I'm surprised by that, Ted. I had never heard a bad opinion, nor read a bad review of the book until I joined Goodreads. The movie may still have something to offer, though. If nothing else it is absolutely gorgeous.
Out of interest, what was it that you didn't enjoy about the book.

Recently I took my little brother to watch Ang Lee's screen adaptation of Yann Martel's Life of Pi and I was very impressed by it. The film is absolutely beautiful. Possibly the most beautifully made film I've ever. The story is very true to Martel's novel with only minor changes and I really can't recommend it enough.
Are any of you fans of the novel? Do you intend on seeing the movvie?
