NOT a movie for "straights."

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2010)

If you consider yourself "normal," have an extraordinarily complex mind for numbers, or find all things irrational a bore, this is NOT the movie for you. In fact, you should probably go find a nice copy of War and Peace and leave the cinematic venue to others more suited to it. If you expect a faithful adaptation of Through the Looking Glass, then again, this is not the movie for you. If you expect something written ages ago by some adored author long put in his grave - something reflecting the time period in which he lived, well, you're a bit closer.
Or perhaps you can love it, even if you're a fuddy duddy. Because this work is beautiful. It is Magical. It is extraordinary. Regardless of the 3-D aspects; with or without iMax; irrespective of class, age, or breeding, this work is astoundingly complex in its simplicity.
I know that seems like an enigma, but the Cheshire understands. Do you?
