This movie is not aimed at children.

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2010)

I thoroughly enjoyed Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. This movie is not a remake of the Lewis Carroll story. It is the story of Alice going back to her memories by falling down the rabbit hole once again. She does not go there to explore the wonders of childhood as she did the first time. She goes to find the adult Alice. Enjoyment is heightened if one has read the book.
This movie is not a fable for children, but an introspective for teens and adults. Honestly, as a former teacher, I would recommend that children under 12 not go to this movie because it may frighten them, or they will not understand it. However, I highly recommend it to teenagers and adults. If the viewers not only watch the movie but listen carefully, they should enjoy a marvelous visual and intellectual ride.
