After catching a short glimpse of Alice on SyFy my teens were enamoured so we purchased the video to watch at our leisure. The miniseries was produced and written in the same style as the SyFy series Tin Man. Writer, director Nick Willing gives the familier story a much darker slant with known characters filling more mysterious and not always amiable roles. So even though you think you know this story the mystery and intrigue continues to twist it into an entirely new escapade with a tinge of romance on the side.
Return to Wonderland in this latest adaptation of the magical story of Alice in Wonderland. In this 2009 made for television miniseries that aired on the Sci-Fi channel, all the great characters are brought together. I am sure this DVD is being released in anticipation of the new movie release of the same name (Alice in Wonderland, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp that is set to be released on March 5th) The Miniseries did not do very well in the ratings however the movie was pretty true to the story and had pretty good acting on it's limited budget. The movie stars: Caterina Scorsone (Alice), Katny Bates (Queen of Hearts), Andrew Lee Potts (The Hatter) and Tim Curry as (Dodo). I would wait for the Disney release later this week instead of watching this one.
Alice In Wonderland was my favorite fairy tale as a kid. This movie is a new take on a beloved classic. I loved the story line, and the cast is very good. I believe Hatter was my favorite in the movie, but this film has some classic stars in it. Kathy Bates as the Queen of Hearts, Harry Dean Stanton as Caterpillar, and the guy from Max Headroom. This is one new age tale that will give you an awesome head trip, very entertaining. As for the DVD it arrived quickly and in great condition, I have nothing negative to say about Alice, very good movie.
