disagree with anonymous's comment... I saw it with my friend and we both liked it, even more than we were expecting. I thought this film really lived up to what "Alice in Wonderland" should be... bizarre, intriguing, colorful... and on top of everything, Tim Burton strung an interesting story line through the film that didn't exist in the original story to add more depth to the plot. also, thought the 3D did a good job of enhancing the world and adding some depth without distracting. I'd say this is one worth seeing in the theaters. One of my favorites by Tim Burton. My friend Pat and I see a new release each week.
