The UK branch of Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has revealed that it is planning to release 2D and 3D Blu-ray versions of Ang Lee's Life of Pi (2012), starring Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Adil Hussain, and Gérard Depardieu. The preliminary release date set by the studio is April 29th.
These two upcoming releases are yet to be officially detailed by the studio.
Life of Pi tells the story of a young man's incredible survival at sea against impossible odds. A remarkable technological breakthrough in 3D epic adventure, Pi is an emotionally captivating experience that will inspire, touch and transport audiences to a place of discovery that they will never forget.

This movie could have opened up some interesting questions about reality vs fantasy, guilt vs innocence, and even good vs evil. However it is, overall, more eye candy than profound or thought provoking. I've found in the past I rarely watch eye candy films more than once after I buy them. Without a good story to grab on to they are just too boring and repeated viewings don't reveal anything new. For that reason I'll pass on this. (but to each his own).
