Saw Life of Pi the other day. I read the book a while ago and thought I’d find the film rather tedious, all that time in the boat, plus I’m not that bothered about 3D.

I was wrong. It was fantastic. The animals looked very realistic. The story was bizarre, as expected, but in a good way. And the 3D! I don’t know why we should find it so amazing, given that those of us lucky enough to have two eyes see in 3D all the time, but the effect was, I thought, quite moving. Sally felt a bit sick though, with the boat movement and choking stench of popcorn, and had to close her eyes for about twenty minutes to avoid throwing up! I was desperate for the toilet for the last half hour, which detracted somewhat, but that’s old age, I suppose.
