Whatever happened to Alice?

"Alice Through the Looking Glass," the sequel to 2010's "Alice in Wonderland," should've been called "Alice in Blunder Land." Three years later, Alice (Mia Wasikowska) finds the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) fading from grief. She must race through time to save his family from a dragon fire death. From a complete disregard for Lewis Carroll's book to a convoluted tale of time travel, the film falls apart faster than Humpty Dumpty on a trampoline.
