In this fantastical, doom-and-gloom twist on the Lewis Carroll novel of the same name, a grown-up Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is summoned back to Wonderland to end the Red Queen's reign of terror. The unending torment of Alice illuminates just how non-child-friendly the story really is, and that's what I really appreciate about this film. Where the film lost me was the action-packed climax where Alice battles the Jabberwocky to the death. Remind me why that was necessary?
