Watch Alice For Free

Fantastic!

An Exercise In Nonsense

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

With a title 'Alice' and it's main title image, I assumed it was an adaptation of the original, well it's more in Essence of another thing I noticed was its 'Barberella theme, which was confirmed when jacks blond girlfriend came on ha ha! It's very futuristic/postmodern with its swinging 60's style, it's entertaining and definitely different which makes it tat bit more watchable, reasonably good story,kids loved it, my eldest being 7+11

Another good made for TV version of Alice is 'Alice' (2009). Or as I like to call it, Just Plain Alice. Live action with a twist, the creatures of the original are all people. It's a science fiction fantasy where the white rabbit is a man who wears his white hair in two pony tails. He's a procurer of "oysters," us, who are milked for their emotions.All the Alice tropes are twisted into service. Such as a bit of verse recited by an Earth scientist who distills liquid emotions from the "oysters" kept entranced in a faux casino overhead, "The time has come my Walrus friend (a guy with a walrus mustache), to test our many stills. The oohs, the ahs, the healing drops, the passions and the thrills; and see how joy and awe and lust can all be turned to pills." Now that's just pure fun. "Take away that barrel of monkeys I ordered."Alice is a karate instructor. For some reason, Jack Heart gives her the "Stone of Wonderland." The stone is the heart of the "Looking Glass," a machine that transfers folks between Earth and Wonderland. I don't know if you can tell by what I've written, but this is a good story. The characters are real, however fanciful, and the story draws you in. You want to see what happens next and hope Alice finds her way home with the surprise person of interest she finds there.Matt Frewer of 'Eureka' and 'Max Headroom' is excellent as the White Knight. The role seems tailor made for him. There are a few non human characters, a robotic March Hare called Mad March. And the Jabberwocky, which seems to be part T. Rex, dragon, chameleon, and rabbit.For a made for TV film there are excellent special effects and artistic decor in Wonderland. Oh suits, I just got that. The enforcers wear suits and have discrete insignia like 3 club or 9 diamond. The story is resolved nicely. Great show. If you only saw it years ago on TV, have another look.

Nick Willing did do a version of Alice In Wonderland that was pretty decent. Then he decided to make a newer version. One that takes place a lot longer in the future. Plus the fact that Wonderland is very different. Imagine Wonderland not being so beautiful but more of an updated poor trashy industrial feel. All the characters are human; including the white rabbit and the caterpillar. Yes he does have a nice all star cast, but he also made the Cheshire Cat show up for a split second and added a serial killer with a porcelain rabbit head. Also did I mention that Alice knows karate. Anyways, it was an interesting take on the story, but the movie was just too boring at parts. Kathy Bates did make a great Red Queen and I really enjoyed Andrew Lee Potts as the Hatter. But everyone else was just up to par. Caterina Scorsone plays Alice and she was OK, but to me, she didn't really seem girly enough. The whole story of this film really seemed pretty interesting and I wanted it to work, but like I said, it was just too boring at parts.

i thought this was a blast. i didn't really get it. but i thought it was really cool and a lot of fun. it wasn't really the children's classic at all but something updated and modified for adults.that's just fine with me since i own on DVD so many versions of 'Alice' and many of them are very faithful that i don't think i could stomach another attempt at "faithful". and i liked the fact that this was for adults, the Tim Burton movie was original and did it's own thing, but it was still basically aimed at a 'kid' audience.the story was pretty weird and it's message, something about instant gratification, seemed to get lost in all the kooky goings on. the white rabbit/March hare was really scary and so were Tweedle Dumm and Tweedle Dee. Kathy Bates was also scary as the Queen and she was basically playing the same character she did in 'About Schmidt'. now that's scary.i'm sure this whole thing is going to leave me permanently confused for the rest of my days, and i'm sure the movie had a very good moral. that is if you happen to be an oyster. beware the scary rabbit.
