John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture Disney, you will be relieved to hear, has done a decent job of adapting A Wrinkle in Time for television... Jan 25, 2018 Full Review Common Sense Media Editors Common Sense Media Somewhat clunky but mostly faithful to the book. Rated: 3/5 Jan 1, 2011 Full Review John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis I haven't read the book, but I can't imagine, given its popularity, that it would have been read by as many people as it has if it were as mundane as this movie. Rated: 5/10 Nov 17, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

max a I haven't read the novel this movie was based on, which I assume would have cleared a lot of my confusion, still I find the movie decent enough. Sure, most of the time it's a rollercoaster and it feels hard to follow, but at least David Dorfman's performance was good. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny and original!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member NOPE THIS 2003 MOVIE SCARY ME I WAS 1 YEAR OLD BACK IN 2003 BECUSE I WAS BORN IN 2002 ON AUG 15TH ! I'M NOT 🤡 ? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved it! Yes it was a bit different than the book but it was close enough. I loved Mrs. Whatsit flying into the kitchen as a crow & transforms into a human. The best was the the cast. They pick the best people for the roles. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member What a strange way to write a movie. Movies are usually written to draw you into the story. This movie deliberately tries to keep you away from what's going on. A good mystery gives subtle clues along the way to immerse the audience in what's going on. This was like a mystery with no clues where you're just expected to follow along blindly from beginning to end. By time the movie is over you feel like 'so what?" The visuals aren't anything special and the characters are just weird Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Yes, I know it wasn't written for me, and that should explain a lot about the audience score. A movie is supposed to be entertainment, not a political platform. I'm beginning to feel like imagination has abandoned Hollywood when I see a movie like this. The potential is limitless where fantasy and magic are concerned, so why was garbage the end result? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
