Stripped of her satisfying career as a sea captain on her father's trading ship (thanks to her vengeful ex-fiance) and facing the prospect of life as a clerk, Alice ends up back in the other world, where the Hatter is sickly and depressed - convinced that his entire family is alive, even though everyone knows they perished in a Jabberwocky-caused fire long ago. A few years have passed since Alice, facing an engagement she didn't want, was first in Underland. But there’s plenty of imagination here to honour the spirit of Carroll’s topsy-turvy tales, even if the emotional resolutions are of a distinctly twenty-first-century sort.Based on Lewis Carroll's classic books, ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS is the sequel to 2010's Alice in Wonderland, once again starring Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. The film’s pace barely leaves you time to think – blink and you’ll lose the plot. It’s Alice’s job, after tumbling through the mirror and returning to Underland, to negotiate with a brand new character, volatile almost-villain Time (Sacha Baron Cohen, on high-camp, slightly grating form) to save Hatter, who’s dying from a broken heart.

Instead, screenwriter Linda Woolverton aims for a sequel that also serves as a prequel, with plenty of flashbacks to the past lives of the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp), White Queen (Anne Hathaway) and Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter). The story bears little relation to Lewis Carroll’s novel.

Now she must battle male chauvinism to follow her dreams back on dry land. Mia Wasikowska returns as the eminently sensible Alice, who has been adventuring on the high seas since we last saw her (a little anachronistically, considering this is the 1800s). This follow-up to Tim Burton’s 2010 ‘Alice in Wonderland’ brings back most of the same team (though Burton has stepped back to be a producer), and the same high-energy and bucketful of 3D digital effects approach.
