Let's be realistic.
Matrixiole
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
DipitySkillful
an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

With a title 'Alice' and it's main title image, I assumed it was an adaptation of the original, well it's more in Essence of another thing I noticed was its 'Barberella theme, which was confirmed when jacks blond girlfriend came on ha ha! It's very futuristic/postmodern with its swinging 60's style, it's entertaining and definitely different which makes it tat bit more watchable, reasonably good story,kids loved it, my eldest being 7+11

Nick Willing did do a version of Alice In Wonderland that was pretty decent. Then he decided to make a newer version. One that takes place a lot longer in the future. Plus the fact that Wonderland is very different. Imagine Wonderland not being so beautiful but more of an updated poor trashy industrial feel. All the characters are human; including the white rabbit and the caterpillar. Yes he does have a nice all star cast, but he also made the Cheshire Cat show up for a split second and added a serial killer with a porcelain rabbit head. Also did I mention that Alice knows karate. Anyways, it was an interesting take on the story, but the movie was just too boring at parts. Kathy Bates did make a great Red Queen and I really enjoyed Andrew Lee Potts as the Hatter. But everyone else was just up to par. Caterina Scorsone plays Alice and she was OK, but to me, she didn't really seem girly enough. The whole story of this film really seemed pretty interesting and I wanted it to work, but like I said, it was just too boring at parts.

The cheap settings (yes, we get it it's in Canada). Lousy acting by the leads and extras (except for Hatter, he brought some fun to the story). The script is awful; the re-imagining of the story is lackluster and lame. None of the subplots made any sense nor did the main plot.This is 1 point above Tinman.They were lazy in production (anyone catch the JVC label on the TV monitors in the lab?). You can tell they borrowed sets or filmed in abandoned office buildings (great job covering up the exit signs with card symbols).Go back to Battlestar Galactica to see how writing, acting, music, editing, and production are done. Give us something (not produced by the Halmi boys) that shows that Science Fiction/Fantasy can be done correctly.

I always loved Alice In Wonderland. Not to mention Peter Pan. They were two of my great favorite when I was a child.Granted, reading the original Alice and Through the Looking Glass books are like walking through a very strange dream.But this... this just seems to be a desperate attempt to cash in on the name. Some of the names and situations are lifted from the books, but most are twisted beyond all recognition.There is none of the original wit and interesting word play.I'm disappointed. It looked so good. Its not. Its just "meh" in the "its kind of interesting" way.
