How disapointing
Added 11/5/2009
I love Alice in Wonderland (the book) but this movie was just off. The filming style was very unpleasant and the actress playing Alice was actually an Adult. They couldn't make wonderland any dryer.

A Valliant Effort
Added 8/2/2009
This adaptation of Alices Adventures Through the Looking Glass is the closest video production to an accurate, unabridged performance of the book tales. Not a mixed up combination of the two Classic works of literature (Alices Adventures in Wonderland is a different story), this video captured much of the essence of the tale dramatically and whimsically. The tone is appropriate to the book and therefore more intellectual as a socio-political commentary than most productions. While it is not the complete tale, it makes good use of the scenes it chooses to depict. Psychodramatic impact is in good balance with the authors intent. What it can't suggest dramatically it attempts to videographically impress upon the viewer. Clever and artsy with eccentricity on a whole new scale. Bizarre. Worth looking at for the enthusiast.

The Only Alice Movie that Really Gets it
Added 2/5/2009
No, this is not 100% true to the book. Obviously not, since it starts in the present and stars an adult Alice. But it is one of the few Alices that keeps to the events of the one book, instead of blending both, and it is the only one I have seen to successfully convey the absurdism, the surrealism, the silliness, and the disturbing qualities--as well as the occasional touching moments. The movie is worth seeing if only for Ian Holm's beautifully melancholy rendition of "A-Sitting on a Gate" (or whatever the song is called!). Yes, the filmmakers clearly spent all their money on their cast, and not much on sets and special effects, but they supply in imagination what they lack in budget. (Original review April 2007)

Awesome Movie
Added 12/16/2008
I love this version of Alice Through the Looking Glass. I remember watching it a while back on tv, and have been looking for it for a while. Kate Beckinsale was great as Alice, and while the beginning was out of the ordinary, the rest of the movie was closer to the original premise of the book.

Beyond Comprehension!
Added 5/14/2008
Why was this made? This has no audience: too hard for children to understand and no saving grace for adults who love this classic story!
NOT WORTH EVEN ONE STAR!!!!
