3D or not 3D? I say 3D, and go for the experience. Pleasantly surprised I was, the overall 3D effect seems to have better clarity than Avatar. I wonder why.
It must have been a long time since I last read the book “Alice In Wonderland”. All I remember were the rabbit hole, the potions, the card soldiers, and the little girl called Alice. I wonder what makes this story lasts through the century. There have been films made in the name of Alice, believe it or not, since a century ago.
Pleasantly surprised I was, with the film’s adaptation as the story is more like an extension to the original series. Tim Burton’s Alice is now a teenager revisiting the “Underland”. While the storyline can be predictably simplistic, the graphical effect is very pretty to look at, magical in some scenes. Figures are artistically distorted – be it as the overall size, or the enlarged head or eyes. The line of realism and illusion has blurred so much these days on the big screen. How technology has progressed.
Cynthia seems to love the film. My mother too, even though there is no subtitle for her. I am thrilled by the 3D experience, more than anything else.
Now, why is a raven like a writing desk? It is a riddle in the original story. And I still don’t quite get it in this movie. Looks like I have to watch it again!
