So I saw Alice today

    I knew they weren't going to have the soundtrack songs in the movie, but I went anyway just to see the movie. I went to the matinee IMAX 3D version of it, and I thought it was pretty decent for a PG rated Disney movie.

    Visually, it was very nice to watch. The story was actually solid, but nothing new or surprising. As a Tim Burton movie though, it was on the lamer side. Like the only thing that was kinda dark or disturbing was the moat of faces that Alice had to cross. And while she was supposed to be 19, she totally looked 15, 16 or to quote my husband "I feel like I'd go to jail if I wanted to fantasize about her." Depp though of course had the best part, and he actually played the mad hatter rather well, giving it this whole Scottish feel to it. Although the vibe of him totally wanting Alice in that beyond platonic way was kinda odd. Oh, and Cheshire cat kicked ass.

    Kicker was during the credits, they played the Avril Lavigne song. Really?!? That one??? To fix that, I played "her name is alice" as soon as we got back to the car. :wink:

    So overall, it was nice, but it's nothing like Avatar or something that you need to rush out and see.

I went to see it yesterday too. I loved it, but my friends were a little disappointed, saying they 'expected more'. I guess I didn't have any real expectations about it. I loved the scenery, the costumes, the characters.

I agree that Alice did not look anywhere near 19.

And yeah, the Avril Lavigne song at the end? The SD song would have been soooo much better there....

I think it had far too much Johnny Depp as a main character. I did enjoy the Chesire Cat. But overall there was something missing for it to be a good movie to me.

Law Abiding Citizen however, is a far superior movie.

Too much Johnny Depp???? Impossible!!! (teasing of course) :lol:

Actually, talking to some other people who saw it...the whole hi def 3D thing might be becoming too much of a good thing. So many people saw how fake the spacing was between his teeth, how his lipstick was uneven, and even the fake contacts were distracting.

[color=darkblue]So I was really excited to see the movie. We were going to go to Austin to see in 3D. Didn't make it this weekend and after hearing all the comments, not sure if I'm going to spend the time to go. I did buy the soundtrack...a few good songs but Her Name Is Alice obviously gets the most play. [/color]

haha 99% huh, is there other 1% because of SD? lol.

It's like stumbling upon a symphony of visuals – high-resolution stock imagery that resonates with beauty https://depositphotos.com/vectors/dancer-silhouette.html dancer silhouette and precision. Each photo is a masterpiece on its own, and collectively they create a visual symphony that enhances the storytelling aspect of my projects. The impact of quality images on the viewer's experience is truly remarkable.

It would be great to watch…

This is a relevant article and information for me. Now I am writing a dissertation proposal and this turned out to be a difficult task for me. I decided to use research proposal writer help https://www.phdresearchproposal.org/ For me this is the best way to finish everything on time.

I remember this movie, it…
