I'm not sure when exactly Life of Pi was released but I watched it just before the Golden Globes and Oscars so it is fairly justifiable to say that I am entitled to whatever I say in this review.

Firstly, I would just like to say that I was very happy when Ang Lee was called as the Best Director at Oscars this year. I think I've achieved too much positivity upon hearing his name at that time. I must say, he nailed it.
Upon watching the trailer, we may think that this movie is about a tiger-keeping boy who had a bitter life in the midst of the ocean. No, it's not just about that. It's not just about having misfortunes and a tiger.
Life of Pi, as I think of it, is about faith, hope and trust. Pi's (Suraj Sharma) family was religious. From that foundation, he had the strength to face the pain and the misfortunes he had. The main character embodies a very optimistic and pensive being I personally admired. Yann Martel must've really moulded the characters really well(Sorry, I haven't read the book yet.).
The flashback effect fits perfectly to the story - how he is doing on the present time, how he sees the past and think that it was still a tremendous part of his life.
If you are the type of person who loves to delve into the emotional bit of life and human belief, you should watch this movie. But personally, I think everyone should watch it.
I won't rate it at this point in time but eventually, if I fully become a fully mature movie critique, I will!
