This was not the 3-D version. Pretty good spin on the original story with Alice falling down the rabbit hole at age 17. Some great special effects and colorful animation. The best part of the movie were scenes with the Queen of Hearts (the Red Queen). Her character stole every scene she was in. Johnny Depp was very good but it was not his best performance. I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of Australian newcomer Mia Wasikowska, who played teenage Alice very well.
The costumes and special effects kept me completely engaged but they could have left about 10 minutes of the slaying scene on the editing room floor...otherwise all very entertaining.
