fabulous but painfully loud

Loved the story, visuals, overall creativity. IMAX was awesome. Sound levels were excruciating in places, dialogue muddy in others, frustrating mix overall. My ears were ringing for hours afterwards and I frankly think its unsafe for kids to be exposed to that kind of sound. Even if they like it! Other than this issue "Alice" will be on my top-10-of-all-time. I look forward to seeing it again on DVD, at home, where I can control the sound myself.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A fast-moving, intricate plot; disrupted timeline; and the twists and turns of who is or isn't to be trusted, make this an intellectual treat with a great final surprise. The 2 leads are handsome and passionate together (as my husband said on leaving, "we both got some good eye-candy!). The supporting cast are skilled character-players, and glimpses of exotic settings from Dubai to Barbados and a lush hotel in Rome provide adequate glam-factor. Unlike Thomas Crowne Affair remake and the Oceans-12 /13, the glossy surfaces here are balanced by grittiness, and no one has that too-clever-for-my-own-movie smirk. These characters have hearts as well as careers on the line, and come up winners.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
