While Tim Burton’s shots in the first movie were overwhelming and brought everyone to wonder in awe at their childhood dreams come to life, director of “Alice Through the looking Glass” James Bobin mirrors the techniques closely, but rarely introduces his own unique touches to the film. Unfortunately, as a whole, “Alice Through the Looking Glass” does not have the same tension as the novel, nor is it on par with the first movie. The film also does not skimp on classic lines from the novel, and those who are fan of the novel, despite their disposition towards the film’s plot, may still find themselves smiling and mouthing some of the quotes along with the characters. Yet, the film is also just dark enough that those above the age of ten might still find themselves jumping from time to time there are always just the right amount of characters appearing at the most unexpected moments to keep audiences “curiouser” and on their toes. Overall, the movie is playful enough, with pun after pun, and at times, almost dry humor. Fans of the Mad Hatter and the Red Queen will find that “Alice Through the Looking Glass” is indulging, as the movie revolves more around them more than any other character, aside from Time. The colors are vibrant and saturated, and Alice tumbles through the movie in the same fashion that people have grown to love. Visually, Disney does not fail to give the audience the same Wonderland that they saw through Alice’s eyes years ago, despite the change of director. This time, Alice’s quest involves traveling through time and finding the Mad Hatter’s family in order to save him. In a flurry of panic, Alice follows Absolem, an old friend, through a mirror, and once again finds herself back in Underland. However, she returns to find that her mother has decided to sell her father’s ship to the same man whose marriage proposal she had refused. ![]() In the movie, Alice has taken over her late father’s ship and has taken to sailing the world for years. In any case, Alice is back just in time for tea. The sequel “Alice Through the Looking Glass” follows a timeline a plot almost entirely separate from the novel, and panders towards those who enjoyed the first movie, instead of avid fans of the novel. After almost six years, those who enjoyed the 2010 film “Alice in Wonderland” will finally get to see what became of Alice in the cinematic universe.
