"Alice" is monumental visual effort, yet watching never rose much higher than boredom sustained by curiosity. Time drifts forward, distorted; "Alice" seems long but isn't.
At times contrived plot lines and heroic epic are imposed to provide a missing purpose. The story generates restlessness as if movie (and Alice) want to be special but aren't sure how.
The original books showed Wonderland's continued, heartless, off-centeredness with worrisome similarity to the real world a child must one day come to know. In this, the Tim Burton and Linda Woolverton's "Alice" miss; neither Alice's self-anchoring natural feistiness or Wonderland's thorough indifference and pointlessness are allowed to exist.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
