Burton's 'Wonderland' engrossing, imaginative

Abstract:
I hated the original story of "Alice in Wonderland" - there was no driving force behind the plot, there was no character resolution for anyone but Alice and only the White Rabbit and Chesire Cat were interesting. But when I learned Tim Burton was making a sequel to "Alice," I became hopeful that Wonderland would finally get a story worthy of its possibilities....

If you need a "driving force" to lie behind a "plot" and furthermore require "character development," you really don't deserve "Alice in Wonderland." I assume your dreams all have a narrative arc and a third-act resolution, and I wouldn't be surprised if they come with a study guide as well.

If Alice in Wonderland is showing in 3-D in your local cinema I would certainly recommend it as I find (as I also did with Avator, also in 3-D) that it takes you from being a spectator of a fantasy into the action itself. Thus making it feel much more real.

Hey, I haven't seen the film yet and I enjoyed the review.

That being said, I have to concur with bosko (though I thought his comment was a bit harsh). If you're disappointed by the lack of coherence in the Wonderland books, you're entirely missing the point.
