Visually, “Alice Through the Looking Glass” has its moments,
but pretty backgrounds and clever special effects can’t hide the incoherent
story and a miscast villain. Not to mention the fact that there’s little Lewis
Carroll in writer Linda Woolverton disjointed script. There’s no sense of
danger for Alice as she strives to save the Hatter and the world. And what’s
this about entropy destroying the universe? And going backward in time? Where
did that come from? Strangely enough, this film even steals a few scenes from The Transformers. And there’s Sacha
Baron Cohen. The mixture of his slapstick shtick and sinister intentions are
off-putting. Compared to his performance, Johnny Depp comes across as
restrained (really). This could easily be Disney’s worst high profile movie in
years. It’s too confusing for children and older viewers will find the time
travel poorly developed and the action sequences tedious. Skip it.
