Alice in wonderland

ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Went to eat buffet actually at Sakae Sushi with my cousins before deciding to watch Alice in Wonderland.
Ate sushi until very full.... yummy....!

Storyline: Alice comes back to the 'dream' that she had after 13 years. She is now grown up and was actually in the midst of being proposed to when she ran away, chasing after a white rabbit in a vest with a ticking clock. She fell into a hole and viola! She is in 'Wonderland' where the Red Queen rules ruthlessly. The hatter and many others have been awaiting her return to save them and kill the deadly dragon. She is confused and does not believe that any of these are real. To her, this is just another nightmare or dream. She struggles with her inner self to bring out who she really is and what she really wants.

Verdict: I love the colourful images and wonderful sound effects! The makeup and everything are perfect! However, the story does seem a bit slow in the beginning until when Alice meets the Hatter. The voices of everyone are perfect as well. Anne Hathaway's voice is very good as it is normally soft and gentle, except for the part when she sounds serious and deadly as she warns Alice about choosing her choices. The only, perhaps, loop-hole is that I do not know what is the moral or meaning of the show. Is it finding oneself? Or is it nothing is impossible? Or is it looks can be deceiving? Hmmm....

Rating: 4/5 
Even though I do not really get the moral of the story, it is still a good watch for both kids and adults and at least, there is a storyline. :)
