While the characters are all fun and unusual, the plot itself is too disjointed to warm to. While it is understandable that she wouldn’t be as wide-eyed in wonderment at everything like before, some surprise and awe at some of the new things that she is seeing would help the audience to engage with Wonderland more. Unfortunately, now the film suffers from ‘protagonist eyes’, in that because Alice is used to the fantastical world (and because the audience sees it through her eyes), the ‘Wonder’ no longer seems as impressive her lack of amazement is at odds with the colourful, amazing things that the audience is seeing.
The sequel to 2010’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’ and, of course, based upon the novel by Lewis Carroll, ‘Through the Looking Glass’ sees Alice once again find herself in Wonderland. Genre: Action/Adventure, Fantasy REVIEW: ‘ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS’ Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter
