Tim Burton is the filmmaker emodiement of mood swings. First he's making Ed Wood, then he goes off and makes the abominable 2001 remake of Planet of The Apes film. Alice is a return to the things that made him great in his early filmmaking years.
Alice in this version is not some daffy 9 year old. Oh no. She's a maturing 19 year old, about to be married off to some rich clot. owever, she gets distracted by a white rabbit that leads her down a hole into Underland (she misheard it last time) There she must confront her fears and life itself.
The most notable thing about the film are the visuals. Almost at an Avtar level of realism and human-to-CGI interactivity, some of the creatures are very beautiful I can say without a doubt the Cheschie Cat is among the greatest creations in CGI film to date. Alice also seems to really live with the characters and you feel like your there! It's quite an experience, especially in IMAX 3D.
Johnny Depp once again shows why he's the modern day king of acting.In one of his best performances to date, he give depth and realism to this crazy hatter. He's defenitly one heck of a performance and I wouldn't be surprised at all to see an Oscar nom. come in 2011.
This film has visuals and great acting through the teeth. It's one of the best fantasies ever. I can wholeheartedly say it's a fun romp, a great example of perfect 3D and one of Tim Burton's best.
Rating: 8.9 out of 10 or A-
