I didn't stay up to watch the film, and I usually only record channels that have no ads, because I pause out ads when I am awake. I read the TV guide, it said....
Quote: "This unsettling and intruiging film is a low-budget, black and white thriller with a twist. It's the story of a socially inept mathematical genius who has locked himself away in his room and designed a supercomputer which, he claims, has the potential to answer any question mankind can throw at it."
Now that seems to disregard Pi. A computer locked away in a room that can answer any question, with a strange person inside. I imagine a letterbox with questions, and answers being pushed through. Little bony fingers sticking the notes outside, a bit like gollum hands. Shuffling noises, and you wouldn't see the strange person for a long time. A media frenzy outside the door, people trying to interview the letterbox, and pushing food inside for favours of knowledge. questions about Jack The Ripper, people studying the evidence, finding unknown evidence along the way. Scientists building amazing machines, and as the film goes on, it becomes crucial to knock the door down. Then when the door is finally opened, the is no one inside the room, and no computer.
I mean, that is an example of one way the film could go. I don't expect this particular film to take that approach, because it would be better rated IMO.
