A Wrinkle In Time - Movie Review

A book to movie adaptation involving 2 siblings on the search for their father on an adventure across imaginative yet shallow worlds, and a messy plot. Here's my review for A WRINKLE IN TIME!

"well this movie had a pretty sweet teaser trailer"

ruh oh

[TheCamcamTV]

Was I the only one who could tell this movie looked boring from the trailers?

[kermitingcrime]

I was 95% sure this was going to be awful based on the trailers.

Looks like I'm watching Black Panther again!

Should have been a direct to Disney channel movie

[Dagarar]

Jesus! This movie have 3.5 in IMDB, it's losing to Tommy Wiseau's The Room who is in 3.6!

Wrinkle in time? THEY CAN JUST IRON IT OUT! :)

Disney was too invested and focused on marketing this movie as a strong leading lady role film and empowering woman that they forgot to make the movie good ..

“This movie had a pretty great teaser trailer...”

I want to see that on the Blu-Ray cover.

[kevinfromsales]

I read the book and it's a good read. They should have just left it alone.

[SeraphimaLune]

Whenever I see that level of CGI in a trailer I know the movie is going to suck.

THANK YOU for giving a review that doesn't say this film is a talking point about feminism, race or politics and just called it a "meh" movie. All of the first reviews I saw on this movie were saying it was full of political talking points and all that, too many women, etc. Gah...can we just make movies (with mixed casts and creative teams) and have them be just as good OR NOT GOOD as all other movies without making it about anything OTHER than what the movie is TRYING to portray??

[montman]

Yeah this movie was pretty disappointing... There wasn't enough meat in the sammich! It's just like..oh.. We're here.. Ok.. Now we're here.. Ok.. Oh.. There he is.. I love you.. Roll credits.

Of course Disney would be the ones to ruin Ava Duvernay's good streak.
I can tell this had way too much studio interference with "visuals and style" being pushed before substance. Which has sadly become more common in these recent live action Disney adaptations.

[KrisseyO]

As someone who cherished this book, I wasn't sure if I would like this. Your review pretty much summed up the doubts I had from watching the trailer, so I will definitely pass on this one.

[metallicnole]

Whose actually excited for this? I'm just waiting ever so patiently for the second infinity war trailer.

[ourlasthero]

I just finished watching your review for The Hurricane Heist where you said you watched these two films back to back and now I'm watching your reviews back to back.


...Yeah, probably.

Let's agree on a director with a consistent running streak - Ryan Coogler

[alexman]

I could so tell this would suck. It was just blatantly obvious throughout the trailer. "Aimless" is a good word for it, I remember it took a few watches to realize what this was about. Somehow, people were excited. I remember when I saw the first Valerian trailer, I saw the crash coming from miles away, yet people were hyped up for some reason, then same with Legend of the Sword, then this. No idea why. There's literally nothing exciting, interesting or captivating, except for the song and some visuals here and there.
