I saw this last night and I loved it.

I did not see it in 3D but you can tell the movie was meant to be seen that way since there is a lot of things always flying at the screen and its filmed with the idea of 3D in mind. Things like rockinghorse flies buzzing around, Alice falling down the rabbit hole, swords shooting out toward the camera, the Hatter running towards you, etc...lend themselves to a 3D experience.

To begin with you have to take into consideration this is not Walt Disney cartoon version of Alice...this is 13 years after she first went down the rabbit hole so things have changed a bit

I loved the overall visuals and it took only a few minutes to get lost in the scenery the same way you would with Edward Scissorhands or even Harry Potter.

The CGI effects were excellent with maybe just a slight cheese factor. The Cheshire Cat was all CGI and he was my favorite and done really well. Some other favorites were the red queen's playing cards and the caterpillar.

Johnny Depp was good as well...but he wasnt the star of the movie more like an important supporting character.

I thought it was enjoyable, entertaining and overall Tim Burton did a fantastic job.

I am not a big fan of 3D movies (why is everything in 3D these days? give it a rest!) but just from seeing it in 2D I have to say that visually it was extremely well done.

Enjoy!
