Very well executed

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

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

I'm rather surprised that this version of Alice isn't rated much much better, since in my humble opinion Alice TV mini-series are like the best thing. OK, I'll give you that special effects aren't top notch, and there are definitely things in the series which could have been better, but overall it's still one heck of an awesome and enjoyable series to watch, re-watch and then watch it again. First of all, Alice the TV mini series is a modern take on the original story. There are numerous mentions of the original Alice of the Legend, but the story does not dwell on that and rather follows a modern day young woman, named Alice of cause, as she gets to Wonderland. And these modern takes plus some well applied canons from the source story is really fun to watch. Remember flamingos? One just must see 'em in this one LOL. Secondly, but certainly not last, all the main actors on the series did a wonderful job with their respective characters, making 'em as real and memorable as possible. Alice is great. Jack is great. But best of all is Hatter. And IMO that is the BEST Hatter ever. So summarizing, if you haven't seen this one yet, go and see it right NOW. Don't let some not so superb special effects to put you off of the series - it's not about the special effects at all, but about the story and storytelling. And one could hardly complain about both of 'em.

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.

The cheap settings (yes, we get it it's in Canada). Lousy acting by the leads and extras (except for Hatter, he brought some fun to the story). The script is awful; the re-imagining of the story is lackluster and lame. None of the subplots made any sense nor did the main plot.This is 1 point above Tinman.They were lazy in production (anyone catch the JVC label on the TV monitors in the lab?). You can tell they borrowed sets or filmed in abandoned office buildings (great job covering up the exit signs with card symbols).Go back to Battlestar Galactica to see how writing, acting, music, editing, and production are done. Give us something (not produced by the Halmi boys) that shows that Science Fiction/Fantasy can be done correctly.
