More like A Stink-le in Time, am I right?

You get a tesseract! You get a tesseract! Everybody gets a tesseract!

i read this book like 7 years ago in elementary school and i didn’t think it would work as a movie and i was right.

si bien tenia un hype muy alto con esta pelicula... me gusto... no lo niego.. es muy bonita... visualmente es hermosa... la actuacion de los niños es espectacular... sobre todo charles wallace (deric mccabe)... pero le falta un no-se-que... digamos que algo de esencia... se queda muchas veces en la superficie... y no concreta nada... las explicaciones científicas son superfulas... y como una excusa para toda la trama.. si bien es un film para niños podían haber indagado o profundizado mas en eso...

Fuck this movie

Ok for me, my daughter really enjoyed it though which is much more the target audience.

This is a really well-intentioned adaptation and its full of heart and a genuine sentimentality that is so-often lost in the ~post-postmodern~ creative scene. I love the wonder DuVernay manages to create here--a childlike appreciation of science and magic that intertwines them together so that neither is left underserved.

I think where it loses its grip is where it loses the message of the book--we definitely don't spend enough time exploring Camazotz in a meaningful way, so the significance of the one scene within it is shadowed. There was definitely a clear attempt to make Charles Wallace less of an annoying know-it-all, which takes away from the final message as well and makes his relationship to the It seem bizarrely uncharacteristic. The movie spent too much time on the cool graphics of magic and not enough time on the dialogue between It-Charles Wallace and Meg, or even on the characters as a whole.

Visual effects and green screen usage was really bad. Acting was cringy. I felt like I was watching a bad Disney channel movie.
I thought of a hundred movies I could’ve watched instead of this while I was watching. 
They cancelled the cinematic release of this movie in my country......  well they weren’t wrong for that.
This movie has some pretty parts but I didn’t got anything of the story cause I was just too distracted by everything that was going on.

I didn’t realize how unfilmable the book was until I saw it done so poorly. It watered down a book that was so weird and upsetting and difficult and incredible. That strangeness is what also made it so relatable. Also Gugu should have been Mrs Whatsit! And Charles Wallace should have been any other actor on the planet.

That said Oprah is the best and I want her to say I’m good and give me a hug.

I just watched this on the plane and it was so freaking good like wow a cinematic masterpiece. Also, Rowan Blanchard as a mean girl yes please

Damn. It's a shame that a film with a heartbeat off the charts has such a muddling plot and weak dialogue. I hope Hollywood sees the gem that Storm Reid is here, in spite of the clunky dialogue she is forced to deliver. I hope that Hollywood doesn't blame it's diverse casting for lack of box office gold. I hope that they keep taking chances with gifted directors, even if that means not every one is a slam dunk.
