Alice In Wonderland (2010)

13th March- I went to watch " Alice In Wonderland"2D in Jusco with my cousins.. So I'm writing a compact review about it. =)

One thing you need to know before watching the movie – this is a semi-sequel, NOT a remake of the previous Alice In Wonderland (1951) classic cartoon movie.

Why did I say that? Because this 1951 classic cartoon film happened when Alice was 7years old. And this 2010 film, Alice is a 20year-old grown up+ And the story line is different.Here's the summary:

Click on the spoiler button if you really want to read the summary of the story. I do not wish to spoil the story for you if you’ve not watched it lol.

Summary for Alice In Wonderland

A grown up 19-year-old Alice Kingsley who has forgotten about her childhood journey into Underland (she misheard it as ‘Wonderland’) and once more takes a trip down the rabbit-hole after ducking out on an engagement proposal that has been arranged without her acknowledgment. Having now returned to the magical world that she thought it was all just a dream, Alice has been destined to save the Underland/’Wonderland’ inhabitants from the tyrannical reign of the Red Queen.

Graphic:
Obviously, they put quite a lot of effort into Alice In Wonderland. It is not a classic cartoon film, and it should be a cartoon film on "humanity" right? Mmm Alice is in human form and some other creatures are in cartoon form.The art is awesome, well paced. The graphic is way to art. Not the familiar bright colour, some may not like it.

Sound:

Highly tuned sound quality.Kinda considered a good job. It is pretty thrilling and this managed to make the film more interesting than it actually is.

Story-Line:

Creative imagination. This is a cartoonish film and is pretty illogical but the idea is awesome. Very, very interesting - IF you listen to the dialogue properly.

Child-friendly rate:

Why am I writing this? Because I think everybody thought this movie is a childish movie but it actually not.I dun really think this film is suitable for children. I dun think small kids will really enjoy it. Most of the interesting part is in the dialogue. Do you think kids will catch the dialogue properly? It will only make them think that this story doesnt have a story line at all.

Casts presentation:

Mia Wasikowska did a decent job. Showed that she's lonely persona as Alice. Anne Hathaway, The White Queen doesn't show up much in the movie. Just a side character of the story. I think the best side character is Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter. Before I watched this movie, I thought Mad Hatter was a bad man. But he's actually a good man. But he is REALLY CRAZY - in a good way. He can even make the movie touching.

Final Word:

Even though I sat in the C row, the 3rd front row, which will make your neck ultra-painful when watching the film, but this film managed to make me forgot about my neck and made me completely into it. LOL. Personally, I feel that this is a great movie and it was worth watching.

Final Score:8/10
