Review of A Wrinkle in Time (2018) by Rudy O — 17 Mar 2018
Enjoyed the movie but still left feeling somethings were missing , I answered. The Mrs. Costumes were over the top, but great CG effects. Sadly, these effects took over and the story itself was pared down, if not actually dumbed down like do much these days.
Went home and rewatched the original 2003 movie and and it was soooo much better. Deeper and introspective but not more than most kids could understand. Yes this versions Charles Wallace was way cuter, in fact this movie was way prettier and glitzier than the first.
Like so much in today's culture. All glitz and glamour and little to no substance. In 2003, there was plenty if substance. Three stars for an adorable Charles Wallace and pretty, colorful sets . But for substance and a story kids will grab onto, find the older version.
Our kids are smart enough not to need a colorful piece of fluff.
