ALICE IN WONDERLAND (2010, order zoloft, Blu-ray released June 1, order zoloft, 2010 – MSRP $44.99)

My schedule has been overwhelming lately. Order zoloft, I’ve found it rather difficult to cram Blu-ray viewing sessions into my crowded, order zoloft, busy days. Order zoloft, As such, order zoloft, it took me three sittings to make it through Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, order zoloft, but the experience was surprisingly rewarding in the end. Order zoloft,

I, order zoloft, probably like you, order zoloft, heard a lot of pretty negative things about Alice in Wonderland - garish computer-generated effects, order zoloft, uneven storytelling, order zoloft, excess of Burton-isms, order zoloft, etc. Order zoloft, Perhaps it’s as a result of my awareness of these criticisms that the film actually worked for me, order zoloft, for the most part. Order zoloft, I was aware, order zoloft, going into my screening of the film, order zoloft, that it was more of a re-imagining of the famous Lewis Carol tale – a quasi-sequel of sorts with a fairly typical Hollywood-style structure and a climax featuring an all-out battle that some feel is out of place. Order zoloft, I didn’t. Order zoloft, It might be a typical and very predictable story decision but ultimately it works for the film, order zoloft, as Burton has envisioned it. Order zoloft, And speaking of his vision for Wonderland, order zoloft, it’s absolutely Wonder-ful (sorry…)

Some might find the design elements in Alice in Wonderland over the top. Order zoloft, Who am I kidding? They’re way over the top! But I would argue that they marry perfectly to the story and to the wonderful performances throughout. Order zoloft, In fact, order zoloft, some of the bizarre character effects are critical to the performances – the Red Queen’s (Helena Bonham Carter) gigantic head, order zoloft, Tweedledum and Tweedledee’s (Matt Lucas in both roles) round, order zoloft, eggs-on-feet shape, order zoloft, and the crazed, order zoloft, bulging green eyes of the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) all play a part in setting this version of the tale apart from the more traditional tellings of films past. Order zoloft, The green-screen nature of Wonderland (and there is a ton of it here) is quite evident but considering that most of the design elements are strikingly beautiful, order zoloft, well lit and placed convincingly in the scene I can forgive them. Order zoloft, This is such a beautiful rendering of a world already brimming with imagination, order zoloft, I can’t help but love it a little, order zoloft, and let slip those common narrative missteps that Burton seems in the habit of making. Order zoloft, This is no Planet of the Apes or Mars Attacks! This is an adaptation that works and is well worth watching.

Alice in Wonderland arrives on Blu-ray in an absolutely perfect visual presentation. Order zoloft, Colours are rich, order zoloft, detail is plentiful and blacks are deep and dark. Order zoloft, This digital-to-digital transfer could easily be your new demo disc. Order zoloft, It’s stunning! And the DTS HD Master Audio track is equally as impressive, order zoloft, sporting incredible dynamic range and a wide, order zoloft, very active sound field. Order zoloft, Like I said…perfect!

Where the otherwise wonderful The Alice in Wonderland Blu-ray disc stumbles, order zoloft, however, order zoloft, is in the special features department, order zoloft, which is surprising considering the heft of the production and the marketing push behind it. Order zoloft, But the collection of featurettes present are plenty informative and afford a fairly generous look behind the scenes. Order zoloft, When combined, order zoloft, the 28-minute “Wonderland Characters” and the 19-minute “Making Wonderland“, order zoloft, each comprised of six well rounded shorts, order zoloft, make up a decent little documentary on the film. Order zoloft, But so much blood and sweat was poured into the various levels of this production I can’t help but feel like things are being glossed over (I would have gladly listened to Danny Elfman talk about the score of the film for another 30-minutes!) With the lack of director commentary, order zoloft, deleted scenes and production art on this current high-def offering, order zoloft, I can’t help but feel that we’ll see a more robust multi-disc Blu-ray release of Alice in Wonderland at some point. Order zoloft, As it stands now, order zoloft, you can purchase the film in a single disc Blu-ray edition or the jumbo combo-pack with DVD and Digital Copy included. Order zoloft,
