A retelling of the fantastic and classic story by Lewis Carroll, this Alice in Wonderland is a live action sequel to the original animated movie. It begins with 19 year old Alice (Mia Wasikowska), who has forgotten about her childhood adventures in everything but her dreams. When she falls back into the rabbit hole, Alice sees that "Underland" is completely different from her dreams, as the evil Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) is ruling the land. Only Alice can return the rule back to the White Queen (Anne Hathaway).Alice in Wonderland proves to be yet another Tim Burton masterpiece, and, of course, has a fabulous performance from Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. The Hatter proves to be absolutely mad, yet wise. Mia Wasikowska is, as Hatter says, "absolutely Alice." The whole cast was great. It also included the voice of Alan Rickman.
The visual effects are great in this, but not overpowering like they were in Avatar. And, for Tim Burton, this wasn't creepy at all. However, this movie was rather serious for a Disney movie, with not many laughs and the underlying theme of a war. It was good, though, and I'm not just saying that because I go to see anything Tim Burton or Johnny Depp do.
Rated PG
4 stars out of 5
