Alice (2009)

Powerful

Fresh and Exciting

Excellent but underrated film

Absolutely the worst movie.

If you don't link it to the original Alice in Wonderland Disney movie, then it is worth watching.I think it would have been better if they named the movie/ mini series something other than Alice so people won't compare it to Alice in Wonderland. They took some ideas from the Disney movie, like going to a "wonderland" and they modified some characters. However, this mini series is not the real version of the cartoon, it has a totally different story.Never the less, I enjoyed watching it, and somehow it made me feel like a kid watching a movie in the 90s. The costumes, scenes, and acting felt like a 90s movie for kids/teenagers.It is a cute/weird movie, watch it if you have some time to kill :)

There are several creative elements of this re-interpretation that make this show well worth watching. Sadly, the titular character drags it down.Alice is a 'modern woman', grim and humorless. Headstrong like a child, willful and ignorant and very difficult to connect with. Her demanding nature doesn't mesh well with the 'damsel in distress' role the movie keeps trying to force her to fill and as a romantic interest, she's like a lump of warm clay. Get used to seeing her face flip between over-acted fear and haughty incredulity - when it's not just plain blank.If Alice had been cast a bit better, this could have been a smash hit. Instead, despite her, it just might be creative enough to still be a cult hit.

I just caught this by chance on SyFy today. It was incredible. I'm shocked I'd never even heard of it. Surely not for every taste, but it kept me watching until the end.Alice In Wonderland was already a 'shroom trip of literature, but this was taken to another level. A great update to an already wigged-out tale. The British guy that played the Mad Hatter, Andrew Potts, really made this thing for me. He was excellent. Truly odd in every way. I know some people aren't up for such things, but one thing is for sure, you won't be bored.The only people I recognized in this were Colm Meaney and Kathy Bates, as the King and Queen of Hearts. Their parts were fairly small, but everyone in this thing seemed perfect for their roles. Bates was supremely evil. A great job by all involved here.

I really wish they made more episodes of this. This is my absolute favorite version of "Alice in Wonderland". I loved how they made it in the future after the old Alice been there and gone. It was a cool twist that they made Wonderland dark and gray and not very happy anymore. I liked how they still made sure every character from the old "Alice in Wonderland" was still in the show, plus some new others that really made the show great.The ending made me very happy. The whole time watching i was hoping that Alice would end up with Hatter. Me and my friend also fell in love with Hatter, and we loved the way they told the story. We really wish they made more episodes.<3
