Realizing a successful, independent Alice is a difficult character to create realistic drama for, returning writer Linda Wolverton instead takes her ship from her and puts her back more or less in the same starting circumstances as the first film, and all just in time for Alice to be called back to Wonderland as her friend the Mad Hatter (Depp) is wasting away to nothing. Rather than answer the vital question of ‘what is this story about,’ the filmmakers have just started telling it and quickly paint themselves into a series of ever-shrinking corners. Leading a life of excitement and adventure in the real world doesn’t offer a lot of reason to return to the fantasy realm of Wonderland, and none of the creatives involved with the new Alice have either given serious thought or come up with a serious answer to this problem. It has as little to do with the Lewis Carroll book it is named for as it’s forebear, 2010’s Alice In Wonderland, instead picking up where that film left off with Alice (Wasikowska) exploring the world as a sea captain and having a grand old time.
