Product Description
Abandoned by her father as a child, the independent twenty-one-year-old Alice is accustomed to men being unpredictable, but Jack Chase is something else. Just moments after surprising her with a rare family ring, he’s suddenly kidnapped by two thugs and driven into darkness. It is then that Alice is confronted by a sharply dressed stranger who calls himself White Rabbit, and who promises to know more about Jack than she. Where Alice follows him is through the liquid glass of an ornate mirror. Where she lands is Wonderland, an outlandish underground city of twisted towers and parapets, staircases conceived in a Dali dream, and an otherworldly purple horizon. Soon, the word’s out that Wonderland has its most prized captive. It seems Alice has the ring that controls the looking glass—the key to the power of the Queen of Hearts. It was mad folly for her son Jack to give it to a girl he barely knew. But Jack had his reasons. Discovering them is up to Alice.Product Details

Customer Reviews
Like Alice, LOVE Andrew Lee's Hatter even more!!
I never really got into the whole Alice in Wonderland story, to tell
the truth, I was actually terrified with the story as a child. Anyways
Alice is a wonderful and refreshing take on the well known classic and I
was shocked at how much I enjoyed it. I watched it at about midnight,
skimming through the channels until I came across it and for some reason
I was hooked at once. Alice is portrayed as a kickass fighting heroine,
that's quite different and the story/plot was so exciting and new, I
don't want to give it away but there is some interesting bits added to
the original.
Summary: So this Alice is a martial arts butt-kicker. She meets Jack
who slips her a ring and once Jack is abducted Alice follows, thus
leading to her falling down the "rabbit hole" or the looking glass. Once
there she meets Hatter who wants to help her find her way home. As she
learns more about Wonderland and their emotion-extracting economy, her
life becomes endangered when the Queen of Hearts orders for Alice's
capture. The Queen ultimately wants the ring Alice recieved from Jack to
power the looking glass. Along Alice's journey to find Jack, she also
meets The White Knight who accompanys the duo to the Casino(where the
captured humans are extracted) while also running away from the Queen's
men: White Rabbit and the Suits. Quite an adventure.
Okay back to characters: I must say the acting is top-notch, so
great for SyFy to get these incredibly talented actors. First Caterina
Scorsone as Alice is amazing and this is my first time watching her, but
I am really impressed by her acting. The White Knight(Matt Frewer who
is another great star who works perfectly in Alice) is there for some
comical parts, and very fun to watch too. Kathy Bates as the Queen, I
get what I expected knowing her previous work. The whole cast, Tim
Curry, Phillip Winchester, Colm Meaney, etc. is great but the one person
that MADE it for me is Andrew Lee Potts as the Mad Hatter. Cute, funny,
adorable and most of all he is the one character you can sympathize
with (also watch him in the sci-fi show Primeval!) I mean he practically
steals every scene he is in. Pott's Hatter is so likable opposite of
Scorsone's skeptical Alice that I would watch this just to see the two
of them and their
