Wonder in Underland
Before we’re done, we’ve been treated to an incongruous Michael Jackson-esque dance by Depp, and, following an Oz-like scene where Alice decides she wants to go home, we’re returned to above-ground, where an empowered Alice moves forward in her real-world destiny and (I’m not kidding) sets her sites on establishing trade with China. Now that’s a scary fantasy. Rated PG for fantasy action/violence. 109m. At the Broadway, Fortuna and Mill Creek.
