A WRINKLE IN TIME (2018)
I read this book back in grade school, but damn, I don’t
remember it being this freakin lame or puffy. This one starts out with a kid
that doesn’t feel like she belongs anywhere. So basically she’s like every
other kid on the planet at her age. Aside from feeling different and basically
being a jerk to everyone the movie gives zero reason why this chick (Meg,
played by Storm Reid) is being visited
by 3 fairy-godmothers from another dimension. Yes, her father is missing or
dead, and yes, she and her adopted brother (Charles Wallace played by Deric
McCabe) wanna go find him, but that doesn’t really give us much to go off of.
Lots of kids have fathers that go disappearing after screwing around with
universe juice. (kidding) I don’t want
to give anything away here, but I got done watching this one and was more
pissed at certain characters, than I was satisfied with the ending. Maybe I am
being too hard on this one, but wow. I expected a lot more.
The storyline doesn’t move along or make much sense at all, the casting could not have been worse. I have no idea why any of these actresses were selected for the roles they played. Honestly I would have rather seen Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy do this movie as each of the Mrs. Characters. Who are they? Well, it’s Mrs. Which, Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs. Who. They are beings of varying power and wisdom who help Meg try and find her father. Actually let’s just stick with the first definition I gave. Storm Reid does stand out in this thing, and does feel like she belongs. I personally would have canned the entire rest of the cast for this one. Most of them are great for other movies, not this one. In this one they just sucked.
We do get some pretty cool special effects but they are few and far between. The last 45 minutes is just a massive disaster. I hope you didn’t spend your money on this one. Not much else to say here, but I’d just skip this on Netflix even. Definitely don’t buy it. God only knows what crap they tried to cram into the DVD or BLU-RAY. I give this one a 2 out of 7. Kids might find it entertaining, but I have no idea why.
