Tim Burton directed this remake of a classic story and disney film, Alice IN Wonderland. We all know the story, Alice falls down a rabbit hole, thinks she is in a dream, and goes on a fantastical journey through wonderland. In this re-make, Alice is a bit older, nearly 20 in fact, and this is apparently her second tour through wonderland, or Underland as the residents call it. The animation is top notch, and the 3-D is well, Wonderful. Nothing in this movie is new territory, aside from the fact that its a somewhat live action version of the classic animated Disney story. Its all been done before, many times, and this fact causes some of the movie to become a bit stagnant for my tastes. There didn't seem to be any re-vamping of themes or much inventiveness on the part of the director. Of course everything looks beautiful and the sets are wonderfully decorated, after all it is a Tim Burton movie. But i found myself longing for his signature style, that gothic weirdness that typically surrounds his movies. I didn't feel much of that here. It was an enjoyable movie, i just found certain parts a bit tedious. So, it definitely is a movie worth seeing, especially if you're a fan of the new amazing 3D movies. However, if you want a story thats new and exciting, you might look elsewhere.
