And while SOME of this occurs in Alice Through the Looking Glass - especially when Alice (Wasikowska) is hopping through the colorful Underland – there are too many scenes in Looking Glass that do next to nothing with their deep focus. Proper 3D conversions can create lush, deep visual environments that are fun to explore with our eyes.

Usually, this is where a 3D movie makes up for the fact that objects don’t pop off the screen anymore. Why can’t 3D movies figure out this once-important aspect of the technology?

Even a blue butterfly, which could have been a great effect fluttering around the theater, looked flat and incomplete. Outside of that, no real effort went into making objects land in an audience’s lap. Once, when Alice stuck her fingers through the mirror, I thought her hand almost broke the film’s plane. The movie actually opens with a thrilling sailboat sequence that SHOULD have had masts, sails and anchors poking out at us. Sadly, Alice is just the latest 3D movie that can’t figure out how to make anything pop off of the screen (the area we consider Before the Window). For a few minutes, I feared that the 3D would be totally ignored – those opening scenes are ugly – but the effort really starts to shine once the movie is safely ensconced in the surreal environments of Underland, where the Mad Hatter’s home, Time’s clock headquarters, and the waves of time are able to take full advantage of all that 3D has to offer. After a dismal and flat start (visually), involving scenes set in the 'real' world of London, Alice Through the Looking Glass proved that Bobin and his crew remembered the 3D aspect when Alice (Mia Wasikowska) returned to the magical realm of Underland.
