A Wrinkle in Time (2003)

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Madeleine L'Engle's fantasy works are in part highly expressive of her Christian viewpoint in a manner somewhat similar to that of Christian fantasy writer C. S. Lewis. She was herself the official writer-in-residence at New York City's Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine, which is known for its prominent position in the liberal wing of the Episcopal Church. L'Engle's liberal Christianity has been the target of criticism from more conservative Christians, especially with respect to certain elements of A Wrinkle in Time.

So I saw this movie in school and it sucked. All I heard was laughing from my classmates. My friend and I were just trashing this movie the whole time. First off this movie makes no sense. You start off with a family with a single mom, old daughter, the somehow smart son, and the two twins that you see for 5 seconds. Then there is the dad that is in trouble for no reason and the random boy that the girl likes. I'll give you 5 reasons why this movie sucks. #5: The acting. The acting was awful. The smart kid especially. I couldn't even watch it, thats how awful it was. They couldn't act for there life. The script did not help either. That's #4: The script had terrible dialogue and made no sense. There is no reason of why the kid is so smart. Then there is the weird town that also makes no sense either. #3: Special effects. This might be a made for TV movie but this is just so sad. I saw better special effects from movies in the 1950's. From the stupid horse lady to the teleporting stuff. It looked terrible and it was just so sad. The crew probably didn't even try to make it look good. #2: The Characters: Here we go. I did not feel any sympathy for any of these characters they were just awful. Some just pop up like a punch to the face. One of the creepiest characters was the lady that looked like Chewbaccas sister. Others just are plan old stupid. #1 The Plot. There pretty much is no plot, or it is too stupid to exist. Literally the plot is that there is a smart kid that tries to take down an evil bad guy that has no back story. This movie sucked and thats all I have too say. Thank you for reading this review and don't watch this movie it sucks.

A Wrinkle in Time is one of my favorite books of all time. It's incredibly intelligent, interesting, creative, emotional, and complex. The movie, on the other hand, is anything but. I know that a movie is unlikely to capture everything about a book. However, this movie goes beyond discrepancies between film and novel - it completely destroys everything that was good about the novel and turns it into a cheesy, simplistic, poorly-CGI'd nightmare. The character development is completely absent. Relationships that are interesting in the book are creepy at best in the movie. There are unnecessary departures from the plot of the book, and many good, complex, interesting scenes are deleted and replaced with strange episodes of physical violence, knife-throwing, and shouting. The animation is beyond atrocious - it's distractingly blurry and unrealistic, to the point of being comical. Seriously, do not, under any circumstances, waste your time.

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:*/****
