Alice Through the Looking Glass—supports its imaginative script with terrific costuming and character makeup. The special effects can only be described as eye candy with perfectly timed segues that move the audience through the innovative story in a most satisfying manner. The camera technique and choreography are nearly flawless. This is a good adult/child share movie.
Storyline
When Alice Kingsleigh
(Mia Wasikowska) returns from sailing the China Seas she finds her Ex-fiancé
wants her to sign her ship, the Wonder, over to him or she’ll lose her house. Alice
refuses and runs to one of the buildings’ rooms where the butterfly Absolem (voice of Alan Rickman), shows her a walkthrough mirror where she escapes into
Wonderland. Things are not the same in Wonderland as the Mad Hatter/Tarant
Hightopp (Johnny Depp), is dying from grief over his lost family. It is up to
Alice to find the Mad Hatter’s family by manipulating Time and restoring
justice to the present.
