A delicious combination of live-action, animation, and special effects tells the fantastical adventures of Alice as she returns to Wonderland, in this imaginative adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic story of the same name. Kate Beckinsale plays Alice, a young girl who steps through a magical mirror and is transported from the real world into an enchanted one of talking insects, nonsensical questions, and reversals of logic. Her journey is marked by mostly incomprehensible encounters with quirky characters such as Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Red Queen and White Queen, and Humpty Dumpty. Beckinsale's Alice is a believable blend of curiosity, poise, and impertinence whose presence in nearly every scene carries the film. Other strong performances include Desmond Barritt, as Humpty, who recites a chilling rendition of "Beware the Jabberwocky," and Ian Holm (The Lord of the Rings), as White Knight, with a soliloquy as colorful as his hair. If, as Carroll states at the end of his tale, "all life is but a dream," this wacky version is one to remember. (Ages 10 and older) --Lynn Gibson

I found this movie in a bargain bin and I'm quite happy about that because it was one of the most disappointing movies I've ever seen. I looked at the cast and was quite eager to watch it. Some of my favorite actors in one of my favorite stories? How could I go wrong? I really should have known better when an Alice was being played by an adult. Not even these very talented people could make this movie interesting or entertaining.
Slow moving and boring and a total waste of time and money.

I picked this up at the supermarket for four dollars because it stars Kate Beckinsale before she went Hollywood and the entire cast is English; I have never heard Lewis Carroll's words delivered by native speakers before. I had never been able to enjoy hearing the poems in my American head before so I got what I was looking for with this purchase plus Kate Beckinsale looks lovely, freckly, possibly pregnant and with a strong resemblance to Mrs. Tiger Woods. I recommend this film based on my own expectations.

I expected a nice classic musical family friendly Alice through the looking glass, but this is simply a bore, waste of time and money, far too nonsensical. It is probably for poem writers or a thinker who wants to get an idea for a fictional book but definitely not for family entertainment. I wonder where I can find the Alice through the looking glass version with the characters introducing music and fun interesting ideas for kids?

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.

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.
