Alice In Wonderland

Well Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have done it again.  Which isn't surprising as they must be able to read each others minds after working together so much.  Alice is a visually stunning movie with a intricate story line on par with Lewis Carolls books.   It's like Burton took all the insane imagery of the books, added a plot, for the movie and then through Depp in the mix.  This makes for a wild ride that doesn't stop from start to finish.  Of course, some purists, might not like some of the liberties that Burton took.. but I don't mind.  I've always been of the mind that a movie is a movie and a book is a book.. and you can't compare one against the other. Now to the 3D.   I really don't think it added much to the story.  Yes it was interesting but I could have watched in 2D and been just as happy.   I guess after watching Avatar, which set the bar insanely high, I am a bit spoiled.   Not that the FX in this movie aren't excellent..  but in comparison they are lacking.   Still the movie as a whole was WELL worth the price for admission.. even in 3D.  IMAX on the other hand...  I think you would be over paying.   4.5/6.0
