“… Alice in Wonderland in 3D IMAX … what’s that going to be like?” That was the question I had when heading to see the highly anticipated movie at Whitaker Center’s IMAX Theater. Most of us are familiar with the classic Alice tale, but would the version by corky director, Tim Burton be as sweet and adventurous as the original?
I was given the opportunity to watch the movie – as I’d been wanting to, but did not have time to drag myself to a movie theater. I was very excited to finally get to experience the fresh, new take on Lewis Carroll’s tale in IMAX 3D.
The story makes Alice look like a historically known heroine, such as Joan of Arc. In the movie, she is not a little girl anymore – Alice is nearly twenty years old, facing a difficult lifelong decision. The film takes audiences on a journey of how Alice becomes an independent woman through her escapades in Wonderland; the film is much deeper than I was expecting it to be.
With a full cast of some of the most imaginative characters reinvented by Burton, the moviegoers nearby, were in awe of the fanciful adventure. The epic-like story of Alice with dynamic effects of IMAX 3D, adds something extra to the film ─ making you feel as if you’ve been transported into the tale alongside of Alice and the Mad Hatter.
Don’t miss this must-see remake in IMAX 3D, now showing through March 25 at Whitaker Center.
More to come,
Cliff
