Went to Cineleisure to watch Alice in Wonderland (AIW) movie last week. After making 2 attempts to buy the tix by simply walk-in, eventually we giving up and bought the tix 1 day in advance instead. Setiap kali pergi sure dah sold out.

To be honest it was my (and imran) first time watching a 3D movie, previously we planned to watch Avatar in 3D but the tickets were always sold out. So cam malas dah la. Tak 3D pon Avatar dah awesome dah

Nothing special about the AIW movie if you ask, despite fact that it was my very first time watching a movie with a 3D glass on. I kept winding up the 3D spectacle, to spot the differences and from my observation, I think you won’t miss anything should you wind up the spec. Just that the colors might appear little bit blurry.

AIW is one of my favourite fairy tales But the movie is an extended version of the original, far from the traditional story. I’m ok with the idea anyway. Fresh idea is always welcome plus I can’t really imagine if they were gonna really follow the original story which is merely just a little girl’s dream. However, in my opinion the movie kinda fall on the lousy side – as boring as watching Narnia. Too much flaw and the plot is not really convincing. I could say that I’m a fan of Tim Burton’s movie, but not particularly this one. Too bad. I want to love it, but I cannot.

Johnny Depp on the other hand, as usual never let us down with his freakiness. Edward Scissors Hand, Sleepy Hollow, Captain Jack Sparrow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd (sweeney todd sgt creepy) and Mad Hatter in Alice In Wonderland. To my surprise, yeah I actually had watched all of his previous movies. Certainly looking forward for his next weirdo character on screen (even though there are some who asked him to pledge from acting freak..huhu). Oh by the way, I can’t really relate with his “breakdance” scene in the AIW tho. Motif? Ok maybe it’s kinda freak thingy. Hehe.

Sigh. Well….when I don’t really like certain movie, it is rather hard for me to get the right words to describe it in details. Maybe my short review don’t give enough justice to the movie. So, kalau rasa nk tgk benda2 interesting like a talking animal, graphic yang cantik-cantik, do watch AIW ok. I like the cheshire cat the most!(eventho I used to afraid of it when I was a kid)

Oh, but I think I wouldn’t mind to love this. Hehehe.

p/s: pssst I think I managed to spot a freemason lodge in the movie (particularly in the red queen’s castle). the checkered floor, the pillar, the chandelier, at least to my knowledge it fits the freemason lodge criteria perfectly.no?
