I didn't mind this film. It was The Never Ending Story meets The Wizard of Oz; Dr Parnassus meets Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Going into the film I had heard more negative reviews than positive. I think this version of Wizard of Oz needs to be regarded as a separate entity from the cartoon. Just like Tim Burton's version of Charlie and the Chocolate factory is quite different than the Gene Wilder version.
It also took me 4/5 of the duration of the film to realize that this Alice in Wonderland is more of a Alice: Part Deux. The character is 13 years older than the cartoon version.
What I found strong about this film was the visuals. While heavy on the CGI, the overall effect was pretty cool. This is the latest 3D film to be released. For budgetary reasons, and preference I went for the 2D, but I can see how the film would offer a lot to the 3D audience.
I don't think I can recommend this film because it is very much a Disney movie, and the PG rating shines very bright. Unless you premeditate an open mind walking into this film, you will probably be disappointed.
