This is looking visually striking, colourfully vibrant and the trailer certainly shows Burton’s big hand in making this sequel.The all out CG Wonderland was awful, but with Depp and Burton working with each other for the 9 millionth time could we the previous film shows this one has the potential to mimic the success of the original.
Returning to the past, she comes across friends – and enemies – at different points in their lives, and embarks on a perilous race to save the Hatter before time runs out. The Hatter has lost his Muchness, so Mirana ( Anne Hathaway) sends Alice on a quest to borrow the Chronosphere, a metallic globe inside the chamber of the Grand Clock which powers all time.
Upon her return to London, she comes across a magical looking glass and returns to the fantastical realm of Underland and her friends the White Rabbit ( Michael Sheen), Absolem ( Alan Rickman), the Cheshire Cat ( Stephen Fry) and the Mad Hatter ( Johnny Depp), who is not himself. No matter what your thoughts where on 2010 film, it delivered at the box office ($1 million worldwide) but if you where expecting the Burton touch he is involved but producing.In Disney’s Alice Through the Looking Glass an all-new spectacular adventure featuring the unforgettable characters from Lewis Carroll’s beloved stories, Alice returns to the whimsical world of Underland and travels back in time to save the Mad Hatter.Īlice Kingsleigh ( Mia Wasikowska) has spent the past few years following in her father’s footsteps and sailing the high seas. It’s too bad that sleeping dogs couldn’t be let to lie, and the end result is a less-than-mediocre follow-up with a small handful of interesting ideas.Loved by many fans, loathed by most critics Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland, but now 5 years on the sequel Alice Through the Looking Glass is arriving and about time! New Director in the chair (Muppet’s James Bobin), new vision but will the Mad Hatter be the only thing need saving here this time? In the last few years, Disney has had some incredible success with live-action films based on films in their famed animated catalog – including Maleficent, Cinderella and The Jungle Book - but Alice Through The Looking Glass will hopefully be the end of the line for this iteration of Alice in Wonderland. These positive aspects simply can’t make up for the film’s other shortcomings. Sacha Baron Cohen puts on a memorable, seemingly Werner Herzog-inspired performance in the antagonist role (his tea party sequence shared with the Mad Hatter being genuinely delightful), and Helena Bonham Carter once again seems like she’s having a blast as the petulant Red Queen.

The movie actually takes steps to establish certain rules for its approach to time travel, elegantly working in harmony with larger themes about our perception of time and its hold over us. While Alice In Wonderland was ultimately brought down by its shockingly listless pacing and narrative, Alice Through The Looking Glass at least keeps things interesting with the occasional cool sequence, fun with sci-fi concepts and interesting performances. This same Chronosphere, as it turns out, has also become an item hotly pursued by the notorious Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter), who has her own reasons for wanting to meddle with the past. Everyone failing to believe this story drives Hatter into a dark state and near death, leading Alice only one choice: to steal a magical device called the Chronosphere from Time himself (Sacha Baron Cohen), and travel back into history to find out what really happened. After discovering the first hat he ever made buried in the dirt – something he considers entirely impossible – the Hatter becomes convinced that his family didn’t die during the Jabberwocky attack on Horovendoush Day, but is instead alive.
As she once again finds herself being pulled in all directions, forced to either sign a new deal with Hamish Ascot (Leo Bill) or lose her boat, she also once again gets distracted by adventures in Underland.Īfter a brief reunion with Absolem (voiced by Alan Rickman) convinces Alice to step through the mirror back into the fantasy realm, she discovers that all is not right with her favorite pals – particularly Tarrant Hightopp a.k.a. Appropriately picking up a few years after the first one, Alice Through The Looking Glass begins as Alice Kingsleigh (Mia Wasikowska) returns home after spending a great deal of time away sailing the world as the captain of her own ship.
