I really disagree in the end with the majority of them. I love the portrayal of Meg here, Storm Reid is very good and well cast for how I always pictured the character. My mother also liked it, but since it was her favorite book as a child she had internalized more of it. So there were a few things she felt would have been key to leave in that weren't.… Expand

I forced my boyfriend to go who had never heard of this book, but he loves science fiction. The movie did seem to lack character development as I had to explain to my boyfriend why a character was motivated to do what they were doing, especially Calvin and Charles Wallace. However, it was still the story I loved from long ago about the fight between good and evil from the viewpoint of tweens.… Expand

The story had been adapted prior in a 2003 television movie but this time out the scope is much larger as are the names associated with it.

The story follows a young girl named Meg (Storm Reid), who has withdrawn following the disappearance of her father (Chris Pine), four years earlier. Her brilliant adopted brother Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe) is very protective of Meg and wants to help ease the suffering she has endured over the loss of their father.

Enter the quirky Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspon), who Charles Wallace has been talking to unbeknownst to his family who in turn seem taken aback by her arrival and strange nature. Charles Wallace soon introduces his sister and schoolmate Calvin (Levi Miller), to Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling), who also shares some unusual quirks as well. With the arrival of the final piece in Mrs. Which (Oprah Winfrey), the children are whisked away to another planet on a search to find the missing father and help restore light to the universe from a dark threat that endangers the universe.

What follows is a series of adventures, quirky characters, and bright visuals as the children and mysterious strangers embark on a grand adventure.
The cast is very appealing but I would love to know if the three stars filmed their scenes at the same time as it did appear at times if they were added in post-production as they did not seem to have much direct interactions with one another. The film does tackle some deep and at times dark subject matter which may be a bit much for younger viewers. One would think that Quantum Entanglements and folding space would be subjects more likely found in Star Trek vs a family film but the film does have some good messages and themes which are essential for younger viewers to note.

The film moves at a deliberate pace and does not erupt into overblown action sequences so viewers expecting a rousing action/adventure will need to temper their expectations.
For those looking for a film with an empowering message aimed at younger viewers, than “A Wrinkle in Time”, may be just the thing for an enjoyable family outing to the local cinema.

Let's do cheer a movie which holds authentic emotion at its heart and competently conveys this thru spot-on watchable performances. Movies about an inner journey are notoriously difficult to produce into a commercial success. What Dreams May Be with Robin Williams comes to mind. For viewers open to an inner journey story, this is about as good as they get. The critic who only gave it a 25 and connects Brad Bird's failed Tomorrowland and this film I think has the right idea for where both went off track to be bigger artistic-commercial successes.… Expand

Visually stunning. Follows a different format than your typical "save the cat" film would. A great diverse cast. Great messages for children and adults alike. Fresh narrative. Inspiring and Gentle. Seen in 3D 4DX

A wrinkle in time is sweet and sentimental as it is emotionally enchanting and visually appealing.
