DVD Reviews of A Wrinkle in Time
DVD Review: A Wrinkle In Time DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
We watched this after reading the book. The movie had really nice special effects but did not follow the book very closely. DVD Review: good adventure
Summary: 4 Stars
it is not identical to the book. in fact, its plot is the only similarity. the movie has its own kind of mood, but is still as DAZZLING as the original book. If you just need a little FAIRYTALE like movie to watch, this would be a good one.
my only disappointment is how little time the characters have to get to know each other. the chemistry is there, but it doesn't get much time. it is rushed, but what motion-picture taken from a book isn't?
POSSITIVE vote from me.
DVD Review: Really Bad Movie
Summary: 1 Stars
The title of this review sums it up. It was a bad movie, definitely not Disney's best work. The acting was pretty sad and the plot was hardly admirable. I liked the book but this movie is beyond help. The effects were bad, the acting was worse, and the plot was monstrous. They move the plot through to fast and they don't take the time to let it make sense. I don't really need to say more.DVD Review: A Modernized Wrinkle in Time
Summary: 5 Stars
The DVD of Madeleine L'Engle's book, A Wrinkle in Time, has been well-received by my students. We view it after we read the novel. While the DVD definitely adds modern touches, it does remain true to the novel. The bonus interview with Madeleine L'Engle provides a profound look inside the writer's mind. She encourages young people through her comments to begin writing now and to write what pleases them. I would definitely recommend this DVD for school libraries and classrooms.

DVD Review: weird, weirder and weirdest
Summary: 1 Stars
I had high hopes for this since it is Disney and I had never read the book. This is by far the weirdest, creepiest, longest, boring KIDS movie I have ever seen. It is like a horror flick for kids. Just Terrible. Constant suspense that never really climaxes and a sudden really dumb ending. A total loss for me. And my 8 yr old kept asking me 'what's going on?" about a hundred times during the movie. Too hard for kids to follow. The set and the actors are cheesy and fake. And it was so long I just couldn't wait for it to be over. Just awful.
Description of A Wrinkle in Time
Madeleine L'Engle's best-selling and beloved Newbery Award-winning novel bursts to life in a spectacular family film that TV Guide calls "a charming and imaginative film." When astrophysicist Dr. Jack Murry disappears without a trace, his children, Meg and Charles Wallace, and neighbor Calvin O'Keefe embark on a cosmic quest to find him. Guided by Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which, the children travel to a distant planet and encounter a society controlled by an evil force. They must trust themselves and one another if they are to rescue Dr. Murry and return home safely. Enjoy the nonstop excitement and adventure of A WRINKLE IN TIME, starring Academy Award(R)-nominated actress Alfre Woodard (1984 Best Supporting Actress, CROSS CREEK) and teen idol Gregory Smith from TV's EVERWOOD. It's an amazing journey your family will want to take over and over again.Director John Kent Harrison's imaginative film adaptation of Madeleine L'Engle's 1963 A Wrinkle in Time may not be able to fully satisfy the immense expectations of those decidedly loyal to L'Engle's book, yet delivers a family thriller impressive enough to stand on its own merits. Katie Stuart plays Meg Murry, the introverted, intelligent oldest child of Dr. Jack Murry, an astrophysicist who has suddenly disappeared without a trace. As Meg struggles with her father's absence and her own coming-of-age awkwardness, she tightens her bond with Charles Wallace (David Dorfman), her brilliant, eccentric 6-year-old brother. When a trio of celestial beings summons them to find their father, the children are joined by neighbor Calvin O'Keefe (Gregory Smith) to embark on a dangerous journey of time travel. They "tesseract" onto the planet Camazotz where Dr. Murry is being held prisoner by an evil force. The film retains the essence of the novel, and deftly employs its 128-minute running time to build viewer affinity for the heroic children. The special effects will not disappoint, though the climatic last battle should have held closer to the book. Stuart is exemplary as the understated and deeply reflective Meg, while Dorfman dazzles as conflicted Charles Wallace. (Ages 8 and older) --Lynn Gibson
