The new Alice in Wonderland Movie 3D that came out to theatres on March 5, 2010, was the largest opening for the month of March. The movie grossed about $116.3 million on its opening weekend.
This new film tells a story of a 19-year-old girl named Alice who returns to the magical world of “Underland” from her childhood adventure. She reunites with her old friends and learns of her true destiny, which is to end the Red Queen’s reign of terror. Alice is the only one who can slay the horrible Jabberwocky dragon so that the White Queen can have her crown and rightful place again.
This twisted new Tim Burton movie is different from all the others. This movie features actors such as Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, and Helena Bonham Carter, some of whom have played in many Tim Burton films. Tim Burton, who had directed strange and quirky films such as Edward Scissor hands (starring Johnny Depp) and Beetle Juice, wanted this new movie to seem like a story instead of a series of events.
The timing of the movie was great, and I could definitely follow what was happening. At first, when the commercials came out, I thought that it would be just another flop movie, but I was interested to see if I was wrong or right. I changed my mind when I saw the film. I really liked the movie and the graphics that were in it.
All the scenes were really bright and colorful. Alice’s journey is remarkable. Alice is a girl taking on the job of slaying the Jabberwocky dragon.
Burton’s movies are almost always about something dark but creative, and his totally different portrayal of Alice is absolutely remarkable. Burton is indeed branching out but still staying true to his way of directing. I’d have to give it 4 out of 8 stars.
