Pi was good. The director was excellent and the movie on the whole was very good. But as a mathimatician myself I have to point out that we (!) don't think or do math like that. In fact I have yet to see a mathematician on film that is even remotely believable. A friend of mine described the revelatory proccess of mathematics as an almost religious experience.
