I definitely liked this movie. Other movies I'm reminded of after watching this movie are Pan's Labyrinth (2006), Finding Neverland (2004), The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005), and Bridge to Terabithia (2007).
Overall this movie was solid and did a great job of immersing me into an alternate reality, similar to the other movies I mentioned. With that being said, I intuitively like Pan's Labyrinth and Finding Neverland more than Life of Pi. Likewise, for unknown reasons, I like Life of Pi more than Pan's Labyrinth and Narnia.
Analyzing the rough order in which I ranked the five movies (Pan's Labyrinth outranking Finding Neverland), perhaps I merely ranked the darker and more dramatic movies higher. On that note, I find the overall story of this movie to be appreciated by an audience whose minimum age is older than the minimum age needed to appreciate both The Chronicles of Narnia and Bridge to Terabithia.
In the end, if you like any of the above movies, then you should consider seeing any of the others. If you have any reservations, then I recommend you see Life of Pi, Finding Neverland, and/or Pan's Labyrinth.

I watched this movie with my wife today, because she wanted to watch it. After we started the film, she remembered seeing parts of it before, but she didn't remember when or where.
Despite not having seen the movie in over six years, I still had remembered the story's big reveal. While this altered how I watched a portion of the film, I learned during the story's big reveal that I had remembered the reveal incorrectly. I thought the cook was the tiger, but the cook was the hyena and Pi was the tiger.
