While I would recommend this movie to my friends, I would advise to just watch the regular format rather than paying extra for the 3D experience. I was a bit disappointed because I was expecting a bright, colorful wonderland 3D experience. I also had high expectations for the Mad Hatter, but half the time I could not even understand what he was saying. I love the story line, though, and overall it was a good movie - just not what I had expected.
