The effects and cg environment were spectacular, especially in 3D. Storyline could have used a little work, but in whole was still pretty good. Not very impressed with Depp as the Hatter. Was a little too depressing compared to what I thought the Hatter should have been like. Ultimately it all balanced out into a really great movie, which I recommend as a must see. If you have the option of an IMAX 3D, that is definitely the way to go, but still see it even if you don't.
