Alice has returned to Wonderland but this time as a nineteen year old woman. Alice, once again, has stumbled down the rabbit hole. But this time she is leaving behind a life, that she feels, she does not belong in. Alice feels trapped in a world of etiquette and propriety that does not fit her. The day that Alice returns to Wonderland she is at a garden party where she is expected to accept a marriage proposal from a successful suitor. But when being asked for her hand in marriage, she is distracted by a white rabbit wearing a waistcoat that she sees near by, and rushes after it and then, as we all know, falls down a rabbit hole.
Much like the original Alice in Wonderland, Alice falls down the rabbit hole and finds herself in a room with a key as well as a drink that can make her smaller and a cake that can make her bigger. After retrieving the key and shirking down to the right size Alice unlocks the door and is in Wonderland.
Although Alice is years older, some parts of the movie do not defer from the original. Alice still finds the Drink Me potion, attends the Mad Hatters tea party, and confronts the Red Queen. Though the premise of the movie is the same Alice in Wonderland is still a movie worth the effort to go see. Director Tim Burton has added his own original take on Alice’s dream world, while still keeping the qualities that truly make it Alice in Wonderland, making it a whole other movie on its own.
With the success of 3D movies like Avatar and Alice in Wonderland we can expect more and more movies to be filmed in 3D or changed to 3D in post production, like in the case of Alice in Wonderland. But does 3D really enhance the audiences viewing experience? Everyone has their own opinions. Some feel that Alice in Wonderland did not need to be converted while others feel that the 3D effects fit this type of movie perfectly.
