A lot of people have never heard of Pi, since it is a black-and-white “intellectual” sci-fi/horror art-house flick that never made it to the mainstream theaters. It’s one of those movies that you either love or hate; I fall into the latter category.
The main character pooh-poohs numerology multiple times but since he spends his time looking for patterns in the “digits” of π (3.141592653589793238…) the movie is either subtly ironic or unknowingly hypocritical. Math geeks cannot enjoy this movie; normal people will find it too pretentious; the movie’s only appeal is to math geek wannabes. Or to people that find Being John Malkovich so mainstream. Or people who like excessive SnorriCam shots.
