Alice through the looking glass film 2016 movie#
But this is all just a way to make Johnny Depp more prominent in the film to foreground whatever the producers think is his 'pedigree' and to tell the truth, especially after seeing this film after the mediocre Black Mass and the downright embarrassing Mordechai, it's beginning to seem that Depp has had his day. Released May 27th, 2016, 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' stars Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter The PG movie has a runtime of about 1 hr 53 min, and received a. The one new character is the keeper and controller of all manifestations of time played by Sacha Baron Cohen but we find ourselves saddled with a subplot to rescue the Mad Hatter's family and bring him back to his old self because he has become oddly zombie-like when Alice first runs into him again. It doesn’t help that Burton uses the same cast as in his first Alice: Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen and Anne Hathaway as the White Queen and alas, Johnny Depp again as the Mad Hatter - because they all get swallowed and overwhelmed by an encroaching decaying layer of baroque rust when all the time travel action ceases to click. The story has an odd pretext as well which involves Alice at the beginning of the tale as a sea captain of a frigate ship and all the time travel/paradox plot conniptions are meant to help her remain a liberated woman in the late 19th century and retain her command of her own ship so that she can continue to traverse the world. This idea has been already overused in the science fiction genre much less in a story book that has lots of weird situations and oddball ideas of its own to provide fodder for a dozen movies that don’t need to be turned into an exercise in baroque design used to tell a tired story that we’ve all seen too many times already.
But considering that he had $170 million dollars at his disposal for special effects and sets, we're still left with a corny time travel movie where someone has to go back in the past to change something in the future. He’s taken what was a sketchy formula from his first Alice In Wonderland movie (using a group of identifiable characters from the Lewis Carroll books and creating his own story for them) and run even farther away from the original than before. Though he only produced Alice Through the Looking Glass, perhaps Tim Burton has run out of ideas or at least steam.
