Tonight we saw the Disney adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time. I understand that books and movies are different mediums and have storytelling requirements unique to each. I also understand that it's hard to fairly judge a movie based on my favorite book.
That said, it wasn't great.
I won't spoil anything, but I will say that it didn't have much in the way of rising action. Or climax. Or character development. Or explanation of plot points. Or magic inherent in the book.
But it was very pretty and colorful, so that's something.

Lots of color. Imaginative worlds. Elements of plot seemed to be buried in new age philosophy. Young actors were pretty good, disappointed in youngest - perhaps the director expected too much. Agree that magic was missing. IF you hadn't read the book you would be lost.
I agree about the youngest actor. And yes, if I hadn't known the story beforehand, I would have been really lost.
I haven’t liked the previews. They seemed to make it REALLY over-the-top. Which is ridiculous, because it seems like it would be a pretty easy movie to do well.
If it hac been on TV I would have turned it off!
