These positive aspects simply can’t make up for the film’s other shortcomings. Sacha Baron Cohen puts on a memorable, seemingly Werner Herzog-inspired performance in the antagonist role (his tea party sequence shared with the Mad Hatter being genuinely delightful), and Helena Bonham Carter once again seems like she’s having a blast as the petulant Red Queen. The movie actually takes steps to establish certain rules for its approach to time travel, elegantly working in harmony with larger themes about our perception of time and its hold over us.

While Alice In Wonderland was ultimately brought down by its shockingly listless pacing and narrative, Alice Through The Looking Glass at least keeps things interesting with the occasional cool sequence, fun with sci-fi concepts and interesting performances. This same Chronosphere, as it turns out, has also become an item hotly pursued by the notorious Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter), who has her own reasons for wanting to meddle with the past. Everyone failing to believe this story drives Hatter into a dark state and near death, leading Alice only one choice: to steal a magical device called the Chronosphere from Time himself (Sacha Baron Cohen), and travel back into history to find out what really happened.

After discovering the first hat he ever made buried in the dirt – something he considers entirely impossible – the Hatter becomes convinced that his family didn’t die during the Jabberwocky attack on Horovendoush Day, but is instead alive.

As she once again finds herself being pulled in all directions, forced to either sign a new deal with Hamish Ascot (Leo Bill) or lose her boat, she also once again gets distracted by adventures in Underland.Īfter a brief reunion with Absolem (voiced by Alan Rickman) convinces Alice to step through the mirror back into the fantasy realm, she discovers that all is not right with her favorite pals – particularly Tarrant Hightopp a.k.a. Appropriately picking up a few years after the first one, Alice Through The Looking Glass begins as Alice Kingsleigh (Mia Wasikowska) returns home after spending a great deal of time away sailing the world as the captain of her own ship.
