Alice in Wonderland 3D (2010)

“Alice in Wonderland is a 2010 fantasy adventure film directed by Tim Burton, written by Linda Woolverton, and stars Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway,Crispin Glover, Michael Sheen and Stephen Fry. It is an extension of Lewis Carroll’s novels Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. The film uses a technique of combining live action and animation. In the film, Alice is now 19 years old and accidentally returns to Underland, a place she previously visited 13 years ago. She is told that she is the only one that can slay the Jabberwocky, a dragon controlled by the Red Queen.” – Wikipedia.org

I like the animation and how colourful and magical the film felt. But I thought the story is not engaging enough and has a rather weak plot. I’m also rather disturbed by Anne Hathaway’s role as the white queen. She seems like a puppet in the film. Really. Strange.

We watched the 3D version and regretted paying a premium for it after 30 minutes. The glasses gave us headaches and there weren’t enough “popping” actions or scenes worth paying for. But I like Johnny Depp role as the Mad Hatter. He added emotions into an otherwise nutty character. HAH.
