Viewing Notes
This iteration of Lewis Carroll’s story, Alice Through the Looking Glass (1998), features a younger Kate Beckinsale as she becomes the Alice and goes on the journey of magical creatures and characters. Like the casting but didn’t like how the story was compressed. Too little time is spent on character moments to keep each scene moving onto the next one.
