 Rated 9/10
sequel to the first johnny depp film inspired by, rather than based on, one of lewis carroll's two classic fantasy/satire novels, q.v.; these tim burton and james bobbin films are strangely compellingly weird, definitely "deppraved" variations upon their originals' themes, plus others barely present, only hinted at, or deeply buried...

- yet they work really well, handling "grown-up" themes, including some that fundamentally affected the man that rev. charles dodgson - lewis carroll - was, and does so in ways that are - and remain - entertaining, whilst going into the core ideas in some depth, as it were, "under the covers".

- this sequel creates an original setting by "backstrapolating" from the wonderland-based world of the first film, to look into the fraught and more than a little mentally and spiritually abusive childhood and teenage of hatter tarrant hightopp, and invents an eccentric - of course! (?) - time-travelling, time-collecting and time-obsessed lord of time - or slave of his obsession with time - ? - whose iron, steel and clockwork (naturally) steampunk chronosyllogismobile alice has to hijack, to prevent the death - or worse - of the hatter, and the erasure of the outcome of - and even, of the reality of - the frabjous day, itself...

- this film moves much farther away from lewis carroll's originals than tim burton's first, q.v., but imnsho he, james bobin and its other makers kept faith with carroll's thematic concerns, and the story and images are - again, very weirdly - well in keeping with many of those that were his abiding concerns.


- these two deppraved productions should definitely be viewed in the order in which they were made, as hatter's problems are symptomatic of those faced by underland itself, and which could destroy it, twice over. and under.

 distributed in a colour-printed slip-through card sleeve not identical with the colour-printed paper insert, though including the main front art from that inset in an approximately one-sixth the available back cover above the specifications, bar-code section, etc, and four of the five vignettes of the main characters from the insert's back cover. the front of the slip-through card sleeve is a rear view of depp's hatter walking away from partially submerged watch and clock faces, gear wheels etc, apparently walking on the surface of the water. the card sleeve is dated © 2017. the irl PG classification specifies viewing by children under the age of 12 should be under parental guidance.
