After watching Tin Man I expected Alice to be much of the same. Indeed this mini series does the same thing, a re-telling of a classic fairy tale and here is is Alice in Wonderland, It changes things so you do get a different story but still with many references to the original story and characters. Although fantasy and fairy tales movies in more modern settings rarely work for me, this movie does the job well. It has enough fantasy elements and depth to keep me interested and intrigued until the end. Children probably won't enjoy it as it dark and confusing at times but definitely not as complex as the original story. While not perfect it's enjoyable and worth several views.
