Made the trip to see this last night, in 3D, before it departs theaters forever. 3D wasn’t anything special (which I guess I should have expected, since the film was converted to 3D, not filmed in it), but nevertheless, it was a fairly amazing visual romp.

I don’t have any other experience with Alice other than the Disney film (bleh), so this was really quite refreshing. While the plot was hardly anything unexpected, it served its purpose… though I did find something about the ending to be a bit trite, but inevitable. >_>

Interestingly enough, I thought the Hatter came across as much more delightful in the trailers than he did in the film… I think I just ended up seeing too much of Jack Sparrow in some of the line delivery. x_x Kind of wish Depp had stuck to using the less serious tone of voice the whole time, rather than sometimes dropping into his lower register. Then again, I suppose Sparrow was insane to some degree, too, so it shouldn’t surprise if some of the character interpretation ends up overlapping…

Couple reviews that I read complained about understanding the speech… which I’m going to have to agree with. Some of the time it was mumbling and the other half of the time, they were speaking names or terms that don’t actually exist, so when struggling to make out what was said, you had to try and guess which one of those scenarios it was. >_>

Still, really not bad at all. I dunno what it is with me and surreal world films… I just likes’em. :x

Also… I’m in love with the Cheshire Cat. amgiwantone >_>
