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!

Good review. Just curious, what is it you don't like about 3D movies? You liked the new Alice in 2D, why would you not like it in 3D? Does the 3D process give you a headache or eyestrain? Personally, I don't like the 3D I've seen in an Imax theatre, it was too distracting in that there were weird double vision artifacts. It was probably more a problem with the 3D process used. On the other hand, all of the recent 3D movies on a "standard" size screen have looked great with no side effects. Definitely preferable over 2D.

However, one thing I don't like is when a movie exploits it too much, as in waving stuff in front of your face for no other reason than to say "hey look at me, I'm in 3D". It might look amazing, but it detracts from the story and I can do without that. But that's not a complaint against 3D, just the director's judgement.
