ayngelcatSo I went to see it - in 3D IMAX. And whilst nobody I've spoken to
seems to like it much, I did!
Apart from the psychedelic animation and Johnny Depp's transfixing optics, I liked the concept. I know "person confused leaves this realm and goes to another where sorts shit out" is corny and has been done often, but it was the simplicity of how it was done in this which endeared me. And the characters were uncomplicated - the red queen was truly horrendous, the white queen all sweetness and light, the caterillar old and wise, the hatter nuts etc. True archetypes - there was no room for thinking goodies and baddies may be "not so good" or "not so bad".
Best were the Cheshire cat (amazingly talented - not even TF's can vapourize) and the caterpillar.
I recommend it! For what it's worth :-)
