Did not see this in 3D because I wanted to focus on the story. It's a little slight in relation to the actual story it should tell, but it's fantastic to look at and Helena Bonham Carter is exceptionally nasty as the Red Queen. The battle sequences toward the end are gratuitous. But my 11 year old niece loved that Alice didn't need a husband to succeed in the real world. To look this great and still reach all ages is no small wonder.
