Alice in Wonderland Review

 Tim Burtons spin on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland is a wonderfully presented tale that delves deeper into the fantasy aspect of the story than ever before, and deeper than any of its predecessors (such as the 1951 Disney movie ) ; however the use of 3d is questionable, as the only part actually worth showing in 3d is the fight scene at the end. Eye popping 3d is more for full on, edge of your seat action movies. Much of Burton’s use of 3d is on the subtle side, so it looks good without drawing attention to itself. As I said above this is questionable, but you can be the critic I would like to also just add how the 3d version just gives the whole movie a bit more definition and dimension ( No Pun intended! )Tim Burton has turned the wacky imagination of Lewis Carroll into an even wackier movie.  The main role, Alice ( well that was obvious… ALICE in wonderland…. ), is played by Australian newcomer Mia Wasikowska.

Compared to the first version of Alice in Wonderland, the animated version made by Disney, this new release is not the same, but it does use the same characters. In this version, the audience is introduced to Alice as a little girl, when she has nightmares about a strange land and strange creatures such as a talking caterpillar. However, she is assured by her father that it is all a dream, and she is told how she is completely bonkers, but that all the best people are bonkers/mad.

A few parts are  similar to the original movie by Disney, but they are adapted with true Burton style. For example, remember the old white rabbit? Well he is here again, but this time, instead of repeatedly shouting “I’m late, I’m late!” , in this new version, the white rabbit taps his wrist to Alice as he walks past, trying to say that Alice is late. This interesting adaptation is one of many that can be spotted throughout the movie. Also, there is another good one further on in the movie with the Queen playing golf or croquet with animals ...
