This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Simply Perfect
Admirable film.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Honestly, this movie is just a poor rip off of Finding Nemo and other movies like that. Then they had jokes that they thought were funny, but I always knew what the punch line was going to be. They kept having this walrus guy who 'performed' or whatever he was doing, and everyone who watched the movie was just like "what?" because no one really knew what he was saying. Then they just had to bring that guy back at the end of the movie. Ugh. The animation was not good either. I mean it was not as bad as some thing I have seen, but it was not that good. It didn't have that shine and certain quality that other movie have. Also there were plot holes and errors. At the beginning of the movie his parents were killed ( sort of like what happened in Nemo :/) and they never really brought that up again. It just happened and that was that. A few times Pi and Cordelia went above the surface of the water and stayed up there way longer than fish can stay above water and live. Later in the movie when Pi was going to fight Troy his 'brother' Percy heard and showed up at the end to help, but they never established that he was coming to help. Believe me, there are many, many more plot holes. Keep that in mid when debating whether to watch this or not.
I first saw this film at the cinema nearly seven years ago because it appealed to me after having already enjoyed similar films such as 'Shark Tale' and 'Finding Nemo.'While this film has derivative elements from the other two films mentioned above (I.e. This film's poster looking similar to the one for 'Shark Tale' and the story starting off as 'Finding Nemo' in reverse), it still has colourful characters and backgrounds, amusing dialogue and lovely music. The film also had some clichéd snippets of dialogue ("You are what you eat," "plenty more fish in the sea," etc) and crude moments (e.g. Those involving sea creatures peeing and farting underwater) but these are saved by its most positive aspects. Some of the most memorable scenes were Pi being separated from his parents at the beginning, Pi growing from a child fish to an adult fish whilst leaping out of the sea, Cordelia saying the shark's breath "tastes like tuna" when he kissed her and the underwater amphitheatre scenes. One scene I found particularly impressive was the sea turtle fighting off the evil squids - this instantly made me think of 'Teenage Mutant Hero/Ninja Turtles.' Other gripes include the ending being abrupt and the sad fact that Pi never found his parents.Overall this is on par with 'Shark Tale' but not quite as good as 'Finding Nemo.' 8/10.
Ugh I wanted to rate this film less than a 1 but I can't. This is truly the worst film ripping off so many films such as Finding Nemo, Shark Tales and Karate Kid. This film is EXTREMELY cliché and I thought Osmosis Jones was cliché but looking back at it the story has an educational mix to it unlike this film where the plot is very boring. The animation and graphics are poor to say the least. Why even make a film about an annoying orange fish with an ignorant pink female fish (she's the worst character in this film because of her ignorance and her obnoxiousness) and a gross shark. I say it's a rip- off of Karate Kid because it's a plot where 'A protagonist finds a girl he likes but she is with the antagonist and he's coming to fight for her back', sounds familiar? Even Shrek 4 wasn't this bad. This film is unwatchable and I had to watch it twice to make sure I didn't make a stupid mistake but there was no doubt now. I know people will say there are worse films or say things like 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' or 'Battleship Earth' are the worst films but I have watched them and they are bad but tolerable. I can be cruel and go as far as saying that I would rather become friends with Jon Venables and Robert Thompson than to ever watch this torture device. I really hope Nemo comes and murders Pi and Cordellia.
Everyones going to say it and I'm no different. Shark Tale/Finding Nemo rip-off!The start is Finding Nemo, right down to the parent being caught.Pi is sent off to find his Aunt on The Reef. On the journey Pi grows up in less than 5 seconds and is told by Aunt Pearl they never go to Flat Bottom so you know he IS going to go there. And to stay off the Haunted Pirate Shipwreck. And sure enough they go to both forbidden places within less than 5 minutes of being told not to.Odd that.I do question how a fish knows the names of Star constellations?Anyway, Pi gets bullied and beaten up by a Shark who likes the girl/fish he loves, goes on a journey of self discovery until all his friends help him defeat the bad shark. Exceptionally DULL and predictable.He gets the girl. No shock there.This is Really Boring and awful, nothing happens and its tedious to watch as it takes SO much time to get anywhere at all.Leave it until its in the DVD bargain bin which won't be long.
