Alice in Wonderland

March 27th, 2010

Colin and I went on a double date with my cousin and her husband to see this movie.  We bought our tickets first and then ran to grab a bite to eat.  Our sitter was a running behind so we didn’t have much time.  The tickets for the movie are incredibly expensive up here.  I think they were 15.50 each.  We got to the restaurant and found out we could have bought them with our meal for $7.  Too bad.  Well, we know for next time!  We had such a great time and I loved the movie.  I loved the self-absorbed personality of the red queen!  I do think she may have been my favourite character, although the Cheshire cat was quite quaint.

I think Depp’s role wasn’t big enough for him although he played it well.  I like him, so it doesn’t really matter what he does, I’ll tell you I liked it.

I found the 3D effects amazing - far superior to Avatar’s.  It had way more depth.  I was unable to grasp on my own that it was kind of Alice in Wonderland 2.  I hope it’s because I was tired, or I had just read the book and my expectations were high, and not that I’m plain stupid.  That would be unfortunate.

I would not take my children to see this, although there were children of a similar age there (at a 9:15 movie!).  Fuss is really bugging to see a 3D movie since he’s never known us to go to a movie and now we’ve been to two in a matter of weeks and both were 3D.  I may take him this week or next to see the Dragon one that’s just come out today.  If you know of any reason I shouldn’t, please share!  I’d hate to make a mistake at these prices!  (Meaning for therapy for Fuss.)

Enjoying the journey,  Amanda
