i have read the whole a wrinkle in time book and then saw the movie . the movie contain all the element in the book but since the book be 190 page and the film be 2 hour it felt really cram in with too many effect and bad acting . a wrinkle in time be about a girl name meg and charles wallace and and calvin must team together to find meg father and get off the island camazotz . the beginning of the film be really a stinker . the acting be awful and the direction be laughable and and so far the situation aren not necessary . i really be crush to see the same person madeleine engle that write the book and create the movie and make a great book and and a terrible film . the acting be bad than any straight to video act . yes and i get to admit there be cool effect . but seriously they be all do terribly and not serial in any way possible . if you read the book you will be crush by the movie . i wish could give it a 0 but sadly i can only give it 1. a half could have be useful .
