I really liked that Burton did not an interpretation of the old Alice film, but an adaption in later life of the girl.

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2016)

I watched the movie in 3D. Burton is above all a brilliant visual artist, and his film is a pleasure to watch; I look forward to admiring it in 2-D, where it will look brighter and more colorful. I suspect that after Avatar any 3 D movie is a bit disappointing as such, though the skies and some of the backgrounds where in collaboration with Avatars Robert Stromberg.
Probably all the little details that I love so much about Burton are not visible, since the 3D technique forces your eye on certain points on the screen and the rest is just out of focus.

Also the characters are very lovely and grotesque done. I am stunned again how Burtons wife as well as Jonny Depp can be adapted to be any wired or creepy thing that gets born in Burton's head.
My favorite character out of the original story was no disappointment. The chestershire cat might be less mysterious, but still quirky and this time he got a bigger part in the story. Not to forget the awesome graphics and the brilliant voice of Stephen Frey.
