Once you get to Underland, the effects are really colorful and amazing. The 3D for the first part of the movie is useless, however, and I kept wanting to take off my glasses to watch. I think I'd actually prefer this without the 3D - the visuals with their brilliant colors are enough and the 3D didn't enhance the movie that much. As for the drama, didn't really care about the characters much and some of the dialogue was hard to understand. Actors are all excellent, but plot was rather gloomy.
