Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Of all the positives that Alice yielded, the pacing was tops as it started, spanned and ended in very good time. My viewing was done in IMAX 3D but it only reinforced how well Avatar was done to take advantage of the technology. Alice does not need 3D to work, being a colorful, bright and beautiful movie that incorporated a lot of contrastingly dark landscapes to the bright animation. The 3D was a bit of a bonus on top of all this but had I seen it without I would not have felt as if I missed anything. Still it will get its fair share of critique by the usual suspects and will no doubt get mixed reviews on the emphasis on free thinking, enterprising and entrepreneurship through Alice and her father (rolls eyes).

With a fun story and a positive protagonist, Alice in Wonderland manages to capture the magical luster that makes both adult and child like a movie. It’s a safe blind-buy for the future and could turn out to be an awesome Blu-Ray disc once it leaves the Box Office. If you remember anything of the little girl’s trip down the rabbit hole and into the wonderful world of Wonderland then this is a beautiful reminder of the tale.

Beware of Tim Burton Haters with Movie Review Blogs
When you read a negative review on this movie play close attention to it, make sure there are no hints of prejudice towards Tim Burton and his love for casting Johnny Depp. In our modern age it is the cool thing to hate on things like this and unfortunately the trend has found its way into movie and music critique… right Taylor Hicks? Although it didn’t dial home any huge action, suspense or thrill for me, Alice in Wonderland was far from a  bad movie and one that you may want to check out in the near future. Judge for yourself and if you liked it as much as I did, come on back and holler at me.
