Review of A Wrinkle in Time (2018) by Mauro L — 29 Jun 2018

I LOVED THIS BOOK AS A KID. tHE FILM WAS A COLOSSAL LET-DOWN. uNFORTUNATELY MANY GOOD PLOT ELEMENTS FROM THE BOOK WERE CUT IN ORDER TO PROVIDE US WITH TOO MANY POP SONG INTERLUDES. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS FILM WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR A dISNEY cHANNEL RELEASE AND THEN THE STUDIO GOT IT IN THEIR HEADS TO RELEASE IT TO THEATERS.

tHE CASTING IS FINE, THE ACTORS WERE GREAT, EFFECTS WERE SPECTACULAR. iT'S JUST THAT WHAT WAS LEFT OUT FROM THE BOOK WOULD HAVE MADE THIS A MUCH BETTER FILM. tHE WORST PART OF IT, IS THAT IT DIDN'T EVEN NEED TO OMIT THOSE PARTS.
