Simply Perfect

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Don't listen to the negative reviews

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

In 4th grade we had to read the book and watch the movie. I thought the book was good, but I didn't really like the movie. I don't remember a lot about this movie, but I remember it having bad effects and bad acting. Its not as good as the book, and they added in a load of nonsense. This movie isn't really worth watching unless you want to compare it to the book or the remake.

This movie is quite possibly the most atrocious book-to-film adaptation I've ever seen.A few decades too late, I finally got around to reading A Wrinkle in Time. It was beautiful. So magical, so moving, so touching, so brilliant. And because it was on Netflix, I decided to give it a watch not even an hour after I finished reading the book. What a horrible decision I'd made. I mean, if you're reading this, take this as a sign of God to not watch the movie. Stay away. Away, away, AWAY. It will ruin everything for you. I don't know who in the hell thought it was a good idea to put things in this sad excuse of a movie that never happened in the book. Things were taken out of order. Not even the decade is the same! I'm so upset I could cry.You have been warned. This movie is nearly nothing like the book. Watch something else. I need to binge watch The Office now to forget I ever watched this garbage.

I have never read the book"A wrinkle in time". To be perfectly honesty, after seeing the movie, do I really want to? Well, I shouldn't be reviewing this movie i'll start off with that. Next i'll say that the TV movie is pretty forgettable. Do you know why I say that? Because I forgot what happens in it. I told you it was forgettable. To be perfectly honest, no TV movie will ever be better than "Merlin".How do I describe a TV movie? I have never written a review for one before. Well, i'll just say that they usually have some celebrities. A wrinkle in time includes only one. Alfre Woodard(Or Woodward, I am not sure), the Oscar winner. The film has cheesy special effects, a mildly interesting plot, scenes that make you go "WTF". The movie is incredibly bad and it makes you go"WTF". What did I expect? It's a TV movie. They usually aren't good. As is this one. A wrinkle in time is a waste of time and a big time waster. To top it off, you'll most likely forget about it the second it's over. Well, maybe not the second it's over. But within a few minutes.A wrinkle in time:*/****

Based on the Newberry Medal winning, children's fantasy novel by Madeleine L'Engle.Story of an awkward girl named Meg who longs to have her missing father returned to his family. Both of Meg's parents are scientists and her fathers disappearance may be related to his research. The adventure begins when Meg's incredibly precocious younger brother Charles Wallace tells her he believes he can find their father. Meg finds herself drawn to the quest along with a popular school athlete named Calvin. Guiding them on their way is a trio of mysterious women named Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who and Mrs Whatsit.The approach by Disney is a simple retelling the story in a fairly straightforward style. There is nothing special or remarkable about the visual or stylistic approach, the essence of the production is the story.The fairly impressive cast includes Alison Elliot (Wings of the Dove), Kate Nelligan and Alfre Woodard as the three mysterious women. The other standout cast member is the young David Dorfman who plays Charles Wallace, he's probably best known as the son from "The Ring" and its sequel.The special affects are sufficient to tell the story and little more. While some may find them a little lacking (probably due to budget) it's worth mentioning that just a decade or so earlier and it would have been technically impossible or prohibitively expensive to achieve the effects necessary to tell this story.As with most Canadian produced efforts the quintessentially Canadian flavor of the production fairly quickly became obvious. Whether it's the British Columbia locations (where it was all filmed) or more likely the extensive Canadian cast (even though their origins may not be immediately obvious) its derivation quickly became apparent at least to me.
