Lysergic Dream

Rating: 3/10 (17 June 2012)

I personally don't remember a single scene from the original Alice in Wonderland, but I know what the original story is about. Thought that one could have an educative story, I don't think this version has. Tim Burton gives a masterly direction, making the spectator feel impressed with such beautiful scenario. All pictures and colors are fantastic, you feel like someone put some hallucinogenic drugs in your drink. However, the story never engages; the plot is totally senseless and you don't know why animals and people are saying such weirdo stuff. The movie spends 80% of its time wondering if it's the real Alice-- even Alice herself becomes bored with such repetitive question. Characters have no development and you just can't get to know any of them, since characters Alice is talking to alternate every time. It's a boring movie trying to be cult, but in the end it's just a beautiful photography with no tenor.
