8 stars, maybe because it's my first 3D experience..

Rating: 7/10 (16 March 2010)

My first digital 3D experience, every scene fulfilled my visual fantasies. The dramatic visual effects take you so far into another world called "Wonderland." Technology is advancing everyday, every decade has its own stage and style. I can see the vast improvement of film making from watching the first feature length film watching the newest jaw-dropping films of today. I know that the technology in film will continue to improve even though it doesn't need any and despite the fact that it looks so perfect right now. What will be the new thing in watching a movie after 10 years, 20 years and 50 years from now? I can't imagine such additions. Johnny Depp, again, plays an interesting character in a Tim Burton picture, this time he is wearing Mad Hatter's costume. This is not an unusual character to him, and he is so used to playing this kind of role that he does not need any effort in acting, but the thing that caught my attention from the beginning was the make-up, they did a wonderful job on Carter's Red Queen too. Looking deeper into the film, I can see that it started and ended a bit fast, I think that that's what happened to Corpse Bride too. I craved for each character's personality and identity but it is so sudden that we don't get to know them much. It was a victorious ending in the Wonderland, but I didn't feel so victorious because it is not a surprise to us that Alice will be triumphant in the end. Maybe Tim Burton lacks emotional approach to his audiences. His tricks work in some cases, but all in all something is lacking and I needed a little a bit more. Summary: The story is good and usual, but in some areas "Alice in Wonderland" is lacking but not visually.
