Story : Alice returns to the magical world of Underland, only to find the Hatter in a horrible state. With the help of her friends, Alice must travel through time to save the Mad Hatter and Underland's fate from the evil clutches of the Red Queen and a clock like creature, known as Time.

The film tries to bite off more than it can chew as it's also an origin story of sorts, where we are told why the Red queen (Helena Bonham Carter) is perpetually angry.

However, despite the dramatic content driven by the cliched time travel tropes, 'Through The Looking Glass' manages to transport you to the magical world. If 3D escapism is all you seek, Bobin certainly doesn't disappoint. Novelty on the other hand is a different story.

Sadly, Depp doesn't have much to do here as Alice is the real hero - his saviour. Mia is spectacular as usual and so is Helena. Sacha Baron Cohen as the man-machine version of Time is entertaining and so are his robotic helpers (the Seconds, who can join forces and become Minutes then Hours). Anne Hathaway gets lost in the crowd.
