A Wrinkle in Time Storyline

13-year-old middle school student Meg Murry struggles to adjust to both her school and home life ever since her father Alex, a renowned scientist, mysteriously disappeared while he was studying astrophysics when she was very young. Both Meg and her mother Kate believed he solved the question of humanity’s existence and theorized that he was into another world. During the night, Meg’s younger brother Charles Wallace welcomes Mrs. Whatsit, a red-haired stranger in an extravagant white dress, into the Murry family house. Mrs. Whatsit claims that the Tesseract, a type of space-travel Alex was working on, is real and leaves soon after. The next day, one of Meg’s classmates, Calvin O’Keefe, joins them to go to the house of Mrs. Who, another strange woman who speaks only in quotations and seems to know Charles Wallace..

A Wrinkle in Time Movie Reviews

Walked Out–It Was That Bad

I very rarely walk out in the middle of a movie. But I did last night about one hour into “Wrinkle In Time”–and I was glad I did. This film had everything wrong with it, direction, acting, scripting. About the only aspect I found somewhat rewarding was the special effects, which kept me in my seat for at least those 60 excruciating minutes. Ava DuVernay’s direction bordered on amateurish. Her framing was uncomfortably tight in a number of shots. And I’ve seen more of Oprah’s inside of her nose with DuVernay’s camera looking up at the giant actress than I care to remember. The pouting Storm Reid, playing the 13-year-old Meg Murry, was unrelatable as the heroine of the film. And most irritating was her younger brother, Deric McCabe, whose high-pitched voice was barely intelligible. Walt Disney Pictures should be ashamed of themselves releasing this complete waste of time. I’ve seen film school studio projects better produced than this. I hope the paying public avoids this film and sends this film quickly into the trash dump.

So many people used the same title I wanted to use

And that was “What the hell did I just watch?” and variations. I haven’t read the books, I have no idea what the story was supposed to be, but even so I knew there was something deeply utterly wrong with it. It really felt like the hallucinations of a drugged person trying to make sense of the story behind and failing miserably. It was so bad that I suspected sabotage. Is it that someone intentionally didn’t want it to be any good? I know I should attribute to malice what can easily be explained by stupidity, but in this case, it is far from easy.

The only reason I rated it three stars (towards the funny end of the spectrum) is because of its inadvertent humor, best appreciated while drunk or stoned or part of Myst3k. So many scenes seem to hint to other materials: Star Trek, Dr. Who, Neverending Story. Or maybe it was just me trying to make sense of something completely random. A good description for this movie: white noise. A better one: pretty colored noise.

I never would have thought I needed less than 1 star….

Wow. Something went wrong here. For a movie with the backing of Disney and all the resources that they poses, they must have turned a blind eye to this film, or they must have tried to manipulate and control it super tightly. This movie shocked me with how bad it was, and how Disney would release a movie this bad. They don’t do it often. From start to finish, this movie is disorderly, and confusing. Maybe because I didn’t read the book, but I shouldn’t have to read the book in order to enjoy the movie. The actors all seemed to lack chemistry and understanding of the role. The three children just couldn’t carry the plot along. It was a disaster around every corner. A Wrinkle in Time could easily be turned into a rated R film in my opinion, the one thing holding it back was the fact that it was kids and Disney. But had this been Tim Burton like Alice in Wonderland, well it would have been better directed, but it would have set in on a specific style and flow. A Wrinkle in Time never really planted its feet into a specific feel. It seemed to take itself super seriously, but what was happening on screen didn’t match up. The score really didn’t help. The movie was scored as a dramatic, serious, epic, however, on screen it was kids running around to “save the world”. The effects were beyond cheesy. I countlessly had flashbacks to the fantastic hit “Spy Kids 3: Game Over” and its partner “Shark Boy and Lava Girl”. In all regards, this movie could rival those movies on the Disney Channel, but this one is too messed up and twisted for kids to even enjoy it. They managed to make a movie that both adults and children could dislike. Disney seems to achieve first still today.
