Alice in Wonderland

[fembuck]

I saw Alice in Wonderland in beautiful IMAX 3-D last night.  It was a fun little adventure and visually really stunning. 

Helena Bonham Carter is the official HBIC of the film.  She really does steal the show.  Not only did I find the Queen of Heart hilarious, I also really sympathized for her.  Even with that planet sized cranium and Lady Gaga lipstick Helena managed to infuse the Queen with a lot of humanity.  I felt like if someone had just given her and her huge head more hugs as a child that all of Wonderland's Underland's problems could have been avoided.

Anne Hathaway was HBIC in training.  I was skeptical about the White Queen based on the few glimpses of her we got in the trailer, but she ended up being my second favorite character after the Queen of Hearts.  She was also in a lot more of the movie than I thought she would be which was nice.  Kudos to Anne for the way she made the White Queen move so delicately, but also managed to make her creepy as hell and intimidating at certain points.  I also have to say, that was not expecting The White Queen and Alice to be so femslashy together.  I loved the White Queen wanting Alice to be her champion and then dressing her up in flashy pants suits and sparkling armor.  And the two of them exchanged some looks that were just, 'oh get a room you two!'

Mia Wasikowska did a really good job as Alice too.  For the most part her role was a lot less flashy than the other roles in the movie, but when Alice decided to get her Muchness on, Mia was really able to step up and became quite engaging.  Plus, she was very good at making eyes at Anne Hathaway.

Overall, it was a really enjoyable movie.

TBH though, one of the best things about watching Alice in Wonderland was  ...

The TRON LEGACY 3D TRAILER! 

*shaking and crying*

That movie looks sick as hell!  Honestly, I didn't even really love the first TRON and I was fangirling like crazy.  And ladies!  LADIES YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!  You get your first look at Olivia Wilde in the movie, and she is glorious.  Seriously, it's like think of how hot Olivia Wilde usually is, and then like triple it.  She's lying coquettishly on a couch people.  That image is seared into my mind.  I cannot believe that this movie does not come out until December.  The wait makes me want to cry.

OHMYGOD *squeeing commences*

THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND FANTABULOUS AND PRETTY AND FEMSLASHY AND THERE WAS ~DANCING AT THE END! NOW THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE A MOVIE!! :D

I wish I had paid more attention to everyone's names, and places and things and basically if I could have taken my eyes off of Alice's purty exposed shoulders for like 2 seconds that would have been very helpful, because I want to write fic but I have no grasp of anything loooooool. /:

I actually kinda wanna see young!redqueen/young!whitequeen fic. Sibling rivalry always makes for gooooooood slashyness. And you were absolutely right! I feel for the red queen and her mummsie and daddsie issues :'(

AHHHHHH *moar squeeing*

LOL! I know right! I LOVED Alice gettin' down at the end. It was unexpected and just perfect.

lol, I know. I'm trying to write a fic for this and I had to write 'the queen' for like the first half of it because I couldn't remember what her name was. Now I know it's Mirana thanks to a post below, but there are definitely little plot points I wish I'd been paying closer attention to.

So true. All one needs to do is look at Blackcest (oh, HBC keep on having chemistry with your on screen sisters, you know that we love it!)

I feel for the red queen and her mummsie and daddsie issues :'(

She was schmoopy. I wanted to hug her.
