A Wrinkle In Time Movie Review

A Wrinkle In Time Directed by Ava DuVernay (Selma, 13th) Screenplay By Jennifer Lee (Frozen, Zootopia) & Jeff Stockwell (Bridge to Terabithia, Children of the Machine) Based on the Novel by Madeleine L’Engle. Starring Storm Reid (Sleight, 12 Years A Slave) Oprah Winfrey (The butler, The Color Purple) Reese Witherspoon (Wild, Legally Blonde) & Mindy Kaling (The Office, Inside Out). 

Following the discovery of a new form of space travel as well as Meg's father's disappearance, she, her brother, and her friend must join three magical beings - Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which - to travel across the universe to rescue him from a terrible evil.

The first woman to have a budget of over 100Mil dollars for a movie. Ava DuVernay is a star what she did with Selma was magical and incredible so given the chance to adapt a book that many have said can not be delivered on the big screen is a big task. The film was marketed pretty well but it seems like the hype for it is just not there. Did Black Panther take away from the hype? Maybe. With the support of black Panther one would think this film would make some money and be good so we will find out if people go out and support this film as well. 

As far as for me this movie has a good cast the book is good from what I have heard so did the movie live up to expectations? No it did not. This movie is not just a bad movie it’s a poorly executed movie with children like dialogue and characters who just pop out of nowhere to go on an adventure and serve no purpose or backstory. The “It” as it is called makes no sense and the reasoning behind everything is all flawed. The editing is pretty bad and you can say some of the effects are pretty ok. The positive for this film is the main character Storm Reid and Reese Witherspoon was given the most to do aside from the main character. Chris pine just keeps getting better and better but he just can’t save this film at all. The climax and conclusion to the film was very underwhelming and the direction which I thought would be the strongest part fails completely. I didn’t like this film at all and I was very bored watching it. 

My Final Score: 5.3/10


Rotten Tomatoes Score: 43%

Glass Movie Review

“Glass” Written & Directed by M. Night Shyamalan (unbreakable, Split) Starring James McAvoy (X-Men, Split) Bruce Willis (Die Hard, Unbreakable) Sarah Paulson (Carol, 12 Years A Slave) Anya Taylor-Joy (Split, The Witch) & Samuel L. Jackson (Avengers, Django Unchained).  Security guard David Dunn uses his supernatural abilities to track Kevin Wendell Crumb, a disturbed man who has twenty-four personalities. Unbreakable to me is an amazing movie and M. Night did have his downs and lost his touch and fan base with follow up releases. I remember sitting in the theater and the first trailer for “the visit” came on and when his name popped up as director the entire audience laughed. I will say however when I saw “the visit” I thought M. Night was getting back in form so when split hit it was truly a great movie especially the tie in at the end with David Dunn letting us know that it was connected to unbreakable. So let’s talk about the closing of the trilogy that is “Glas...

Exploring the sacrifices and costs on the Nation and Neil himself, during one of the most dangerous missions in the history of space travel. Damian Chazelle is a master when it comes to incorporating story with music and has proved it with La La Land and Whiplash. Here he is again working with Ryan Gosling on a character piece and thinking about it now all of his movies focus solely on character more than anything else. There has been controversy about is this movie patriotic why the flag was not shown planted and all this...
