was just about to post this.. I have it on the DVR.. looked pretty interesting. I will most likely end up waiting until the BD release. Did anyone watch it?

detective392 · 12-15-2009, 04:23 PM

I only saw part 1 but I really loved what I saw.Andrew Lee Potts was amazing as the mad hatter.

Will this be region locked or released in the UK and is this worth the blind-buy?

I'm waiting for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland next year.

Sponge-worthy · 12-15-2009, 04:45 PM

Anyone ever play American McGee's Alice on the PC? I loved that game.

Caught a few minutes of this on SciFi. I realize this was meant as a re-imagining but it felt like a silly excuse for inserting fictional icons into a very bizarre science fiction film. Much more bizarre than the scifi channel take on Wizard of Oz. Unlike with the Oz re-imagining this felt like a means to bank on Tim Burton's Alice re-imagining, ala The Asylum.

I really liked it, but I'm a sucker for Alice stories. I'll most likely pick this up if it goes on sale, it had really nice CGI environments.

Clark Kent · 12-15-2009, 10:44 PM

I agree that it seemed like Tim Burton's version of Alice, at least from the first 45 minutes I saw of it.

I watched this on scifi last night and liked it. I'll pick it up when it is on sale.

For those that have seen this would you recommend it for $19.99? It has 50 five star reviews at amazon and seems like something I might be interested in. If anyone could give their opinion on the mini series I would appreciate it.

It's a very lose adaptation. The characters are there but they're mostly very different. I like it but you should probably rent it first.

Idioteque... · 02-28-2010, 09:30 PM

I heard it was just as disappointing as the other adaptation of Oz with Zooey <3.

Though Kathy Bates being cast as the Queen of Hearts is genius.

I enjoyed Tin Man.

Only real flaw IMO was Zooey's acting. Not being a hater just in that movie it was pretty bad.

Clark Kent · 02-28-2010, 09:42 PM

It is definitely not as good as Tin Man. Mildly entertaining if one is a hardcore Alice In Wonderland fan, but others will find it boring in parts.

will be buyin on tuesday for sure!

It is visually playful and brilliantly cast - Matt Frewer is absolutely superb as the White Knight - but it pushes the story a little too far into the real world for my tastes, losing the surrealism and imagination of the novels.

I think it's in the category of "would be nice to own but maybe wait for the sales or rent first".
