It's a twist to what we have always heard and read from story books on Alice in Wonderland - Alice curiously followed a little white rabbit in waistcoat, fell down a hole and ends up in Wonderland where she meets the Mad Hatter, The Red Queen, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and many more.
WARNING : Spoilers ahead for those who has yet to watch this movie.
This time, it's a twist to where Alice (Mia Wasikowska) cannot remember that she has been to Wonderland. She keeps having nightmares on a white rabbit wearing a waistcoat, as well as talking animals. 13 years later she attends a garden tea party to which she is hoped to accept the proposal of a lord, her father's business partner's son, Hamish (Leo Bill) but got distracted by the same white rabbit in a waistcoat and once again follows the rabbit. Fell down a hole to find herself in a place where she had visited before - Wonderland. Yet Wonderland does not seem to be Wonderland as it is known as Underland.
The Mad Hatter proves to be very amusing. Wonderful job done by the one and only Johnny Depp. You will never guess that it was Johnny Depp behind all those makeup and props. It seems like hip hop when he does the Futterwaken dance. Tough he does look freakingly scary at some point due to the makeup.
Would you like some tea?
Next we will witness the battle between the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) and the White Queen (Anne Hathaway) on a giant chess board which turns out to be the battlefield.
Chessire the cat is freakingly cute yet with that devilish smile, you will want to back away. Oh I love how Tim Burton add a twist to the classical Alice in Wonderland. This movie is very entertaining. And I better let the story stop here or else you would know how the ending is like. I do not want to spoil the story for you.
Rating : 8/10
I have got a craving. A craving to watch Alice in Wonderland once again. This time, I want to watch it in 3D. :)
