Editorial Review: Product Description: After meeting the mysterious Jack Chase and being given a ring, Alice finds herself entering Wonderland and discovers that the ring is the key to the Amazon.com: Writer-director Nick Willing, who turned The Wizard of Oz on its ear with 2007's Tin Man, takes a similar approach to another childhood classic with Alice, one of the more visually striking and offbeat live-action adaptations of Lewis Carroll's fantasy stories. Willing's Alice (Caterina Scorsone) is a grown woman--and a karate instructor to boot--whose lack of luck in love seems to have finally taken a turn toward the positive with Jack (Philip Winchester). Their idyll is shattered when Jack is abducted, and Alice's search for him leads her to Wonderland--the one visited by Carroll's Alice a century ago, but now overrun by gloom and vice and anachronistic machinery, and lorded over by a Queen of Hearts (Kathy Bates) who kidnaps people from the "real" world to harvest their emotions. Willing's Alice looks impressive, with its richly saturated colors and CGI environment that suggests a world with one foot in Carroll's absurd realm and the other in a futuristic dystopia, and he's abetted by a terrific supporting cast, including Matt Frewer (as the White Knight), Harry Dean Stanton (Caterpillar), Tim Curry (Dodo), and Primeval's Andrew Lee Potts as a sort of glam-rock Mad Hatter. But his script can't match the level of imagination in his direction--Scorsone, a likable actress, is left to wander passively to each scenario--which renders the project another exercise in style over substance. The sole extra is a lightweight commentary track by Willing and Scorsone that is more conversational than informative. --Paul Gaita Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Amazingest Miniseries EVER.I loved this miniseries when I first saw it on SyFy. I automatically decided to buy it. It was even better as a DVD because there was no break in-between episodes. Simply amazing. Rating: - Love it!I love this movie! I first saw it with friends and then decided to buy it myself! Rating: - Go Ask Alice...i absolutely love this sy-fy version... hands down favorite adaptation of Alice in Wonderland... EVER! the twists to the story make it just dark enough for the older crowd, but i beleive children would enjoy it as well. there's a nice mix between suspense and comedy. the characters portrayed are played flawlessly by an amazing cast... if you ever thought that it'd be weird if Alice and the Mad Hatter got together, you'd be wrong... Andrew Lee Potts steals the show in his portrayel of Hatter, the ... Read More Rating: - Six thumbs upThis DVD was a big hit with my household, ages 14 - 51. The cast is excellent, and I was surprised to find myself truly caring for Alice and the other characters in the midst of this psychedelic carnival ride. There is a connection with Lewis Carroll's story, but only as a springboard into an original science-fiction story. This is not just a rehash of fantasy cliches. It's original at every level, from art design to the story. There are a few underused characters and storylines, ... Read More Rating:  - Modernized remake...not always a bad thing.Though not as good as Tim Burton's version, this one definately has some good scenes, it's a little long though. Much better than SYFY'S version of Children of the Corn. The acting is good, the storyline is well done, and the special f/x are good. I bought this a few months ago, not knowing what to expect, but simply put I was impressed. My advice would be don't compare it to the cartoon from eons ago, as with any re-make, IMO would be take it on its own merits. The modern day format works ...
