This Alice is not Alice

Before the first part of "Alice in Wonderland" came out, I had high expectations for it, but the result was somewhat disappointing, so I didn't expect the second part, and went purely for the picture. It turns out that IMAX is an excellent choice.

Let’s tell the story first, it is relatively young, belongs to the neurotic fairy tale type, and has the idea of ​​​​deliberately moving closer to the original temperament, but in order to tell an easy-to-understand story, it will inevitably fall into the cliché.

When it comes to acting, I'm selfish, and when the last subtitle shows "Dedicated to Alan Rickman", I can't help but feel a little sad that I'll never see him on the big screen again. Helena Carter's performance is still praiseworthy, the Red Queen is cruel, irritable and hysterical, but she is innocent and simple, and the relatives who kidnapped the Mad Hatter are just turned into miniature toys, "People like miniature gadgets. Son." On the contrary, it was a little pitiful. In contrast, Anne Hathaway is still in charge of the vase in the film. According to the standards of today's society, the White Queen is an out-and-out green tea bitch. Life. The most interesting character in the film is "Time", played by the "slut" Sasha Baron Cohen. Friends who are familiar with him know that this guy has no other characteristics, that is, he is cheap. Borat, "The Dictator"). Time is embodied as a person, you can say to him "sorry for taking up a little of your you", and he keeps the watch of everyone's life, and while chasing Alice he says "no one is racing against time yet" time to win." As for the most eye-catching Mr. Depp on the poster, his performance is mediocre, and the character Mad Hatter has no bright spots in this film. The protagonist Alice is still Alice who is not like Alice, and her Chinese clothes still show that Westerners have a "China" attitude. culture" misreading. On the contrary, Mo Niang's appearance brought a fascinated laugh.

I give it a good score for visuals and special effects. The impact of IMAX is still incomparable to ordinary screens. Time Palace is gorgeous and stunning, Mr. Time manages people's lives in an orderly manner. The best thing is of course the time travel. The waves and the upside-down waves form a narrow passage space. The historical scenes are magnified, twisted, rolled and submerged by the waves. This is an all-you-can-eat movie. I don't know when IMAX will be replaced by VR, I think movies will one day move towards an immersive experience.

As for values, I don't think it's important for this movie. Alice's story should be crazy. Although this Alice is not Alice, so what, just be happy.

Finally, I think, the poster of this film should be printed like this:

    The visual effect is good, the story is plain and boring

  • Elsa 2021-12-18 08:01:16

    It's a sequel again. After so many years, I thought there would be no sequel. Although the story is a bit dull and boring, the visual effects are still shocking. The pictures are bright and textured, and with the classic and immortal characters, they are suitable for all ages. The performance of Cohen, the actor of the time in the film, is a highlight, and he must be praised.
