Alice through the looking glass

[awfulhumanbeing]

So  yesterday I decided to watch "Alice through the looking glass". I don't even know why, maybe it was the love to the American McGee's video game, maybe to the first book. I did read Alice in Wonderland, but the second one was obscured by everything else, and I don't really love reading, frankly.

So what to say about the film - the critics (at least some) say that it's terrible. I say that it's just as terrible as Proton-M - you see it exploding many times, and laugh at the creators, but when it flies at the end, when you leave the theater, you realise - it's not that bad after all.

Really the film is not horrific, but I do have some complains. First - I don't know if it was so in the book, but Alice is a ship captain. That seems somewhat strange, I doubt that in the IXX century women were really on ships other than on civilian ferries.

The story isn't very surprising too. Alice occasionally locates Wonderland using a mirror, and the old characters are like "oh oh oh the hatmaking guy is feeling very bad go grab a magic sphere and save everyone". And guess what - that's exactly what happens! 

I can say some good things about it though. The visual effects are not bad and totally are enjoyable. I will not reveal any major spoilers, but the ending gives you a "hope" that there will be no happy end. But yeah, the end is semi-happy.

My mark: A rusty mirror out of 10.
