Way of understanding

Pi is excellent movie for those loving slower going deep thought movies, that have their own fine detail tensions within. Pi scratches the world of mathematics and educates also about the relations of mathematics and the Hebrew Bible, the differences about numerology and mathematics with great examples where one could easily go wrong and all that.

A bit of a cult favourite, a film well worth looking up. A highly original arty thriller about a genius mathematician who is rapidly going insane as he tries so solve the mystery of hidden patterns found in stock markets.

Wild and wierd.
Hard Going But

Hard Going but well worth the watch. For those Numbers theriost and conspiracy buffs. Mind you the end sort of reminded me of " One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"
A paraniod mathematician seeks the answer by finding the ultimate number to the universe. A must view film for the number and suduku fanatic.
couldnt sit through it

The synopsis sounded great... but the film just wasnt... very weird, very repetitive, boring and sometimes disturbing. I usually like unusual artsy films, but I just couldnt sit through this one. The two stars are for the performances, which are good but wasted. Just too weird a film to enjoy.
Not great

Have to agree with Siamsa. This film isn't as good as it sounds. Was a good idea but he could have done a lot more with it.
Very bleak and the ending felt like they just wanted to get it finished.
