A Wrinkle in Time (2003)

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The first must-see film of the year.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Worst movie I ever seen...:( Really waste money! I know the book is great but production is very bad, terrible! terrible! worst adaptation.

This movie is quite possibly the most atrocious book-to-film adaptation I've ever seen.A few decades too late, I finally got around to reading A Wrinkle in Time. It was beautiful. So magical, so moving, so touching, so brilliant. And because it was on Netflix, I decided to give it a watch not even an hour after I finished reading the book. What a horrible decision I'd made. I mean, if you're reading this, take this as a sign of God to not watch the movie. Stay away. Away, away, AWAY. It will ruin everything for you. I don't know who in the hell thought it was a good idea to put things in this sad excuse of a movie that never happened in the book. Things were taken out of order. Not even the decade is the same! I'm so upset I could cry.You have been warned. This movie is nearly nothing like the book. Watch something else. I need to binge watch The Office now to forget I ever watched this garbage.

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.

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.
