A Wrinkle in Time (2018)

After the disappearance of her scientist father, three peculiar beings send Meg, her brother, and her friend to space in order to find him. (IMDb)
The dialogue (nay, the whole movie) is like 99% painfully cheesy exposition (with poor performances to boot), though somehow the opening act set-up still manages to confound and frustrate the viewer completely in its vague, contrived nature (so how does Charles Wallace know all these mysterious people again?). After all the fluffy mysticism of the Mrs. it eventually crafts a nice message about self-acceptance and the power of love over evil, but it’s still so damn cheesy. Pine is good though.
4.5/10 (Bad)

  1. Ugh….this movie was so bad. Terrible writing, terrible pacing, terrible ending, and terrible acting from the younger cast members. Such a disappointment. Plus hearing “Charles Wallace” every five seconds drove me crazy.
