The three-hour television movie, shown as a two-episode mini-series, brings us a rather original approach to Louis Carroll's legendary "Alice in Wonderland". The story is modernized and placed in the present, full of surprises and weird twists, with a plot that is somewhat reminiscent of "The Matrix". Technically it can't compare to cinema movies of its time and genre, but for a television movie it's quite okay, and the cast rises it above average. Alice is played by Caterina Scorsone, best known for her role of Dr. Amelia Shepherd in "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice." I don't think she was the right choice for this role, but I have no major objections. There are also genius Kathy Bates in the role of Queen of Hearts, Colm Meaney (Chief Miles O'Brien from Star Trek) plays her husband, Tim Curry, and few more familiar faces I am unable to associate with names.
