Almost Alice


Yesterday I went to see Almost Alice or Alice in Wonderland. I have no idea what the real title is anymore because some people say its called Almost Alice while others say its Alice in Wonderland.
Anyways, when the movie started I was so exited to see it for all the reviews given to it. The first 20 minutes into the movie I almost fell asleep. I don't mean any disrespect but when it starts its kinda slow. The first scene is of little Alice, when she was about five or four years old, telling her dad that she had another nightmare and she described some parts of wonderland to him. Then its Alice sixteen years later or something on a Carriage riding with her mom to a party. Once they get to the party everything starts happining really slow. She dances, walks with a Lady, and get a marriage proposal in like half an hour when all of that could have happened in less than twenty minutes. After that she falls into the rabbit hole and she once again goes to Wonderland. This is were you can get confused if entered the cinema thinking that this would be an exact remake of the Story Alice in Wonderland. This story is of Alice coming back to Wonderland. Though a lot of what happens in the original story happens in the movie, a lot of different things happen too. She always thinks she is asleep and she doesn't remember anyone.
I don't want to give anything away so I'll just say what i thought of the movie. I thought that it was a very good movie. All the effects they put into it and the story was really good. The only problem I had with it was that I thought it was long. I mean not long as three four hours long but the way the movie was made it seem as if five minutes were twenty. I've seen Saving Private Ryan, that's a long movie. But you don't notice it as much, well at least I didn't, because your always wondering is that him? Wheres the private? Whats going to happen? Etc. But in Almost Alice every scene seems to be to long or too slow.
Though by being like this it lets you really know whats going on. In other movies that try to put to much in the hour and a half or two hours you go out of the movie wondering " What just happened?". In the end I thought it was a good movie and that people should watch it.
