  A fantastical romp that proves every bit as transporting as that movie about the blue people of Pandora, his "Alice" is more than just a gorgeous 3D sight to behold.

  When it comes to 3-D visual splendors, give me Wonderland over Pandora any day.

  "Alice" plays better as an adult hallucination, which is how Burton rather brilliantly interprets it until a pointless third act flies off the rails.

  For all its clever design, beguiling creatures and witty actors, the picture feels far more conventional than it should; it's a Disney film illustrated by Burton, rather than a Burton film that happens to be released by Disney.

  It has its successful moments but it's surprisingly inert overall, more like a Burton derivative than something he actually did himself.
