emzavon With a title 'Alice' and it's main title image, I assumed it was an adaptation of the original, well it's more in Essence of another thing I noticed was its 'Barberella theme, which was confirmed when jacks blond girlfriend came on ha ha! It's very futuristic/postmodern with its swinging 60's style, it's entertaining and definitely different which makes it tat bit more watchable, reasonably good story,kids loved it, my eldest being 7+11
Rachael-Harper I'm going to be completely honest and say that this did drag slightly in parts and the story got a little weird but if you can over look both these things then it's a very interesting take on the original Alice in Wonderland series. It must be said that Andrew Lee Potts performance saves what could have been a very average storyline, his portrayal of the lovable and charismatic hatter really gives the plot an added boost. Unfortunately I wasn't too impressed with the actress that portrayed Alice, I thought her performance was a little flat at times which resulted in me not rooting for the main character as much as I should have been. Kathy Bates did a good but forgettable performance of the queen of hearts while the actor who portrays the white knight gives some added comic relief often delivering the best one liners such as "Bullseye!" or "You're probably wondering how a brave knight like me got captured". While I don't think this title will be a particularly memorable watch for many people I do feel that is worth watching purely out of interest and if for nothing else then definitely for the very handsome Mr Potts.
flyingamon After watching Tin Man I expected Alice to be much of the same. Indeed this mini series does the same thing, a re-telling of a classic fairy tale and here is is Alice in Wonderland, It changes things so you do get a different story but still with many references to the original story and characters. Although fantasy and fairy tales movies in more modern settings rarely work for me, this movie does the job well. It has enough fantasy elements and depth to keep me interested and intrigued until the end. Children probably won't enjoy it as it dark and confusing at times but definitely not as complex as the original story. While not perfect it's enjoyable and worth several views.
day-ja-vu I have to say I had very low expectations of this movie/series. They were giving away free DVDs of the full "Alice" series at work and I figured I'd watch it then try to make extra cash by selling it. I was delightfully surprised when I finally watched it. First of all you must be very open minded to the Story of Alice in Wonderland and be free of any expectations. This movie will give you an insane ride and outlook on a whole 'nother adaptation of the story. The overall story and connections are very creative. This movie is action packed as well as filled with twist turns and emotions. Sure, there are moments certain spots in the plot are shaky and some of the graphics get a little ghetto with a full obvious green screen, but overall a great watch. Not only was I impressed by SyFy's script but their choice for casting was amazing! Caterina Scorsone puts spice and attitude into the adapted Alice role, yet at the same time is also very endearing. She portrays the inner emotional struggle of Alice in an amazing way. I loved that SyFy allowed Alice to not be just a helpless girl but one who was "fiercely independent". Scorsone did a great job on fight scenes and stunts. Her overall performance is what keeps us pulled in. Andrew Lee Potts was also a great cast as Hatter. His portrayal of the modern Mad Hatter was slick and humorous. His relationship with Alice is what really drives the story and you can't help but hope everything works out. As a result, despite their low budget and lack of publicity and screen time, this is a MUST SEE movie! Anyone who's interested in fairy tales and action and adventure should consider this movie. HIGHLY Recommended.**May not be best for children 13 and under, mainly due to the use of guns and violence. **
