A Wrinkle in Time (review)

Not being familiar with the book, I had no idea what to expect. Having seen the trailer (too many times), I assumed Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling would be the guiding forces. However, the 3 stars bow out about half way thru and leave the quest to the young people. A girl, her brother and their friend set out across the universe to find her scientist father. There are expected otherwordly visuals. Although they’re sometimes pretty, none of them is especially dazzling or groundbreaking. More of a disappointment is the leaden pace, dreary earnestness and never-ending messages of self worth and empowerment.  A spectacular disappointment.

 

1.5 out of 5 stars (1.5 / 5)
