I didn’t want it to be, but holy hell, A Wrinkle in Time was a very bad movie.

Can anybody find a plot anywhere and put it in that movie? It’s in dire need of one. Nothing in the film made the least bit of sense. It literally could be recut and assembled in any order and be just as comprehensible.

Yes, like most books, I have read the source book and it didn’t have (as far as I can recall, I read it when I was 20) the same problems as the film. The nonexistent plot, though, wasn’t the sole issue. Wrinkle was miscast, poorly shot, had an over-reliance on CGI, and did we really need a twenty foot tall Oprah Winfrey? I’d argue that we did and do not.

Worst of all, the film strongly implied (really outright stated) that bullied people deserve it and bring it on themselves. Despite all the other flaws of the film, this was the very worst part.

In some ways, it is comforting that a woman of color can make a film just as unbearably bad as anyone else. It was so awful that if I’d had anywhere else to go at the moment, I would’ve walked out of the film.

Do not recommend for any age, or for anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together. Just a terrible movie.
