Bout to go see this shyt. I have very high expectations after reading this thread. I better not be disappointed.
You won't be.
So it's obvious, no he didn't have any animals with him on the boat. The hyena was under the tent in the boat, and the tiger was under the tent in the boat. Both of them couldn't have been under there at the same time without the hyena dying.
So it is in fact, his overactive imagination that conjured that story of the zebra, the ape, the hyena and the tiger.
Saw it last night. Very slow beginning, picks up when he gets stranded at sea.

But this in spoiler tags fam
Movie was solid. 
Not as great as some made it out to be (in my opinion), but I could understand why some of you feel that way.

The tiger kept pushing Pi away, rejecting him and showing out right animosity. Eventually, he learned to trust Pi and realize he needed Pi in such a desperate situation.
In the end, once Pi helped the tiger get through the tough times, the tiger turned his back on Pi and felt he didn't need Pi anymore since he was in essence saved and could handle things on his own at that point.
I think a lot of that is how people turn to God in a crisis, but turn their backs once they're in the clear.
I'm not a religious person and never read the book, so I could be way off base.

That's an interpretation I hadn't heard yet, but is incredibly interesting and makes plenty of sense.
Definitely will be seeing this again, and 2nd watch will be VERY different than the first

very interesting take. IMO this is what makes the movie so good. they tried to be "philosophical/religious" with it, but still left it open ended and up to interpretation as it should be.
i think the toxic island represented pi's madness, which gave him comfort but ultimately would have killed him. he had to get back to reality, he knew he couldn't stay...the tiger was his will to survive, which wasn't really with him when he was on the island.

Just watched it. Took me long enough considering its one of my favorite books.
I think a lot of people are going to get caught up on which story is true or not, and by reading the story and the way they spent a lot of time developing Pi's religious ordeal ... I think that Yann Martel intended the reader to pick his own. And that would show the reader his views of religion kind of. Would you prefer to believe an off-the-wall story that requires belief beyond a normal realm of thinking ... or would you prefer to believe something that's easy to believe, that doesn't require you to look crazy for thinking its true?
