ALICE IN WONDERLAND PREVIEW: Tim Burton in 3-D!
It’s one thing to put a tool like 3-D in the hands of a man like James Cameron, who delicately and gracefully gives the audience a subtle feeling of depth. It is quite another to give it to a visionary auteur who is famous for breaking all the rules and letting his wild imagination loose on unsuspecting viewers, and with Tim Burton’s take on the tale of Alice in Wonderland, we can expect him to have pulled out all the stops… if he ever had any.
Re-teaming with Disney, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, this new vision of Alice and her Wonderland have both taken on a distinctly Burton flavour that is sure to make it singularly unique. On top of the visual style, Burton has concocted an entirely new story for Alice. Yes, you read that correctly, Lewis Carroll’s beloved text has been tossed out the window, leaving only the characters themselves to contend with Tim’s wild imagination. Sounds like a fair fight to us!

Just got back from the midnight showing. While I enjoyed it, I do think they should’ve improved a bit on the third act. It’s not that it’s bad but it’s just not as strong as the first 2/3. It’s still good though, but it’s not one of Tim Burton’s best. *** out of ****.

I dunno… it seemed pretty so-so to me from the start. Burton always has to lose his edge to keep Disney happy.
