Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Lance E Sloan (lsloan-imdb-com) 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.

Cya6 We were just looking for something to watch one night when we stumbled upon this movie. My sister and I were like "cool, didn't know they made a movie out of this!" We expected it to be awful. We weren't disappointed.In all honesty, it had been a while since we had read the books, but, yeah, they were pretty bad. Most of the horrendousness of the movie has been discussed by previous reviewers, so I'll only bring up what I really didn't see on other reviews.Am I the only person disappointed with Charles Wallace? In the books, he was incredibly smart, but not only that, he had the maturity to match it. He acted very aloof, and seemed to always have a general understanding of what was going on (even if he didn't). In the movie, he was this little naive kid. He acted like a little kid who just happened to be smart. In the books, he was so cool! This film made him seem like a 5 year old who happened to be smart, not a genius who happened to be 5! Also what irked me was the relationship between Charles and the Mrs. Ws. In the book, they were almost friends! He chided Mrs. Who for stealing the blankets, but, no, in the movie, they treated him like a child they had run into before!Gonna stop here, because otherwise I'd just go on.Actually, there is one other thing... Losts of people were upset about the Mrs. Whatsit horse thingy. I never had high expectations to start with. Maybe it was just the book cover I had, but I don't think large, bald centaurs are overly attractive, rather less the most beautiful thing on Earth.'Kay, done now. Just mah opinions!

Kyle Hodgdon I was browsing through Netflix and stumbled upon this movie. Having fond memories of the book as a child, I decided to check this out. This is a movie that you should really pass on.It is just not worth seeing. It is very boring and uninteresting. I feel that it would even be that way to small children. It has no magic that the book contains. This movie is not horrible, but you will just find yourself not caring ten minutes into it.There are moments that just come off as weird. The witch character is not very good. The family acts like it is no big deal that these odd things are happening. I know this is a kids movie, so as an older audience we must not look too deeply in things, but the whole movie just feels like it was written and produced by people who have never had any movie making experience before.The DVD that I had began skipping in the final moments of the film, and instead of trying to fix it I just turned it off and sent it back to Netflix. I really didn't care how it finished. Skip this film and read the book instead.

LadyCeara The "Wrinkle in Time" book series is my favorite series from childhood. I have read and re-read them more times than I can count over the last 35+ years. The characters, with all their virtues and flaws, are near and dear to my heart. This adaptation contained very little of the wonderful, magical, spiritual story that I love so much. To say I was disappointed with this film would be a great understatement.If you have never read the book(s) I imagine you will enjoy the movie. The acting is passable, the special effects are well done for a made for TV movie, and the story is interesting. However, if you love the books, avoid this movie at all costs.I found this statement at the Wikipedia page of the novel: "In an interview with Newsweek, L'Engle said of the film, 'I expected it to be bad, and it is.'"I, like another reviewer here, feel the need to read the book again to dispel this movie from my mind.
