 You know, ever since I first saw the trailer for this movie, I've really been looking forward to it. So how did it turn out? Well, my name is Brennan Keith-Avery, and this is just my opinion.

Let's see if we can get this video to 100 likes. So you just saw the intro to this review to my opinion. And I said that I was really looking forward to this movie. I really have been since I first saw the trailers many, many months ago. This is a wrinkle in time is being directed by Eva DuVernay. I am a big, big fan of her work. And it's not that much work to be honest with you. She did Selma with David O'Yellowole that came out in 2013 or 14. And she also did the documentary 13th, which is on Netflix right now. That deals with the incarceration rate in this country, the United States and how messed up that is. And so, you know, she did a great job with Selma. She did a great job with 13th. She was, you know, the front runner to direct the Black Panther movie that's in theaters right now that's doing very well, which instead was directed by Ryan Coogler. Her Marvel slash Disney had some differences in the pen on the way they wanted to tell the story of that film Black Panther. So she decided to step away from that project and do a wrinkle in time on another Disney movie. And so this this is being based off of a book by Madeline L. Engel, which came out many, many, many, many, many years ago. I haven't read the book. People have, you know, mentioned to me, Hey, Brenda, you may want to read the book before you go see the movie, you know, just so you can compare. But me, I kind of like to go into movies fresh and not knowing anything. But after, you know, just so I can be surprised. But after I've just got back from a screening of a wrinkle in time, and I'm very eager to know the thoughts and opinions of those people that have read the book and how they compare it to this live action film. Now, you've probably heard a number of people say this before, and I'm going to say it as well. But I've always heard, you know, in the promotion of this movie coming up to its release, which is now that this film is unfilmable, unfilmable, that the imaginations just run wild in this book, and it's just so creative. And that would just be impossible to put that on the big screen. And whether that's true or not, of course, I am going to talk about that. But I want to do that a little later on. Now, about this movie also, this was in my top 10 most anticipated films of 2018. It's a very important film to me just because I am a big fan of time travel and the fifth dimension and things like that. And I do remember them mentioning the fifth dimension in the marketing material and some of the trailers. So that just really fascinates me. Storm Reid, she popped up. She's the main protagonist in this movie. She popped up in 12 Years a Slave. And I don't even remember her in that movie. But you know, Ava DuVernay, this is I said this is a very important film because she's a black female director. And female directors don't get a lot of clout, a lot of play, a lot of recognition or praise they deserve on Hollywood. So it's even harder for a black woman. And so for her, you know, with me being black, too, I can relate, you know, with her being a black woman and she's getting a budget of a film of I believe $103 million. I'm rooting for her. Just like I was rooting for Ryan Coogler and everybody else that had to do with Black Panther. So just some things that I liked about this movie was Chris Pine. Everything about him in this movie was freaking fantastic. He was the best thing in this movie to me. His acting felt real. It felt genuine. I felt a strong presence from his character. Unfortunately, he was not in the movie that much. And that is one of the downsides of this movie. But if he was in this movie, a lot more I can say that it would have been a lot better. Another like that I had in this movie had to do with the messaging of the film. And with that, you know, the underlying tone being of love, no matter, you know, whether it's a strong signal or a weak signal of love that love will always be there. And so that's just something that really spoke to me. And I really did like it. As far as everything else in this movie, I didn't like anything else in this movie. This was a painful mess of a film that was not put together very well at all. It was random. It was incoherent. It was pretty much unbearable to watch. I was very frustrated throughout this entire film, even with me going in with low expectations. Now I was excited about the film. Yes. But leading up to a few days before this film was released, you know, just some things were just coming out that just really wasn't making me feel well, just with the way they were promoting the film. You know, the embargo that was on the film that was it was released yesterday. And that's just not a good sign. It just really wasn't anything. You know, I just didn't enjoy the movie. I didn't it was horrible. I wanted to leave just some of the things that just were just pain, stakingly awful is first of all the acting. Chris Pines acting was great, but everybody else's acting was horrible. That goes that goes to Oprah Winfrey. That goes to Reese Witherspoon. And that also goes to Mindy Kaling. And they play three characters that are, you know, that are, I guess, I don't even know what they are. But Oprah's character was named Mrs. Witch. W H I C H Reese Witherspoon was Mrs. What's It and Mindy Kaling's role was Mrs. Who. They were random as hell in this movie. Not only could Oprah act, but neither could Reese or Mindy, especially Mindy. She kind of felt like she was in her own little movie talking to herself the whole time, which was very weird. I felt that Reese Witherspoon needed to calm the F down. She was hyper all the time for no reason, just wanting to change clothes and fly around this imaginative world that didn't make any sense at all. And, you know, Oprah's acting just really wasn't that bad, but she didn't really bring anything to this movie as well. Now this film is actually being described as a venture family and fantasy. But they need to go ahead and put horror in there as well. Because there is a character in this movie by the name of Charles Wallace, played by Derek McCabe. He actually scared the hell out of me in this movie, not just in the end, but at the very beginning too. There was just something very wrong with this little boy. And it just gave me the ebgb's. He was a very uncomfortable character for me to watch. And another reason why I just really wanted to leave and get away from this movie. Something else that I hated in this movie were the effects. I don't know what happened in this film, but Ava DuVernay did not have a vision to use these effects properly, because they was all love of the place. They were not finished and they were random as hell. It just didn't flow. Everything looked blatantly obviously fake, like with green screen and blue screen. Oprah herself was like an enlarged Oprah. She was much bigger than the other character that shared the same screen time with her. I'm saying Mrs. Who and Mrs. What Sit, played by Mindy and Reese Witherspoon. Mindy, Callie. It was just weird. Oprah came across as an overgrown sparkly cooking monster. Something like that. I don't even know how to explain it because it's so frustrating, but this was just a big movie of visual noise. A bunch of visual effects just vomited all over the screen. It stuck there and then just started to ooze down. It wasn't pleasant. You can tell that they were trying to go for a film that you're looking like, oh my God, this is amazing. This is beautiful. This is Avatar Part 2. But no, it wasn't like that at all. It was the exact opposite. Please, please stop. Can we get to a normal place that my senses can somewhat comprehend? Now, the dialogue was crappy as well just before they went on this little adventure to try to rescue Chris Pine's character because Chris Pine's character is, I guess he's like a scientist or something. I can't really remember. He's just talking about how he can travel 90-odd million miles across the universe in an instant with using something called the Tesseract, which has to do with space time travel and things like that. It's a cool concept, but during his little discoveries and him just trying to figure things out, he vanishes and he's gone for four years and so Storm Reid teams up with Oprah and her gang of people and her little brother Charles Wallace and her friend and they are trying to bring him back, but there are some evil forces that's thrown in as well. The story is just stupid. I don't know if this is about stopping an evil cloud that's coming to kill everybody one by one or go and rescue Chris Pine, Storm Reid's father. Storm Reid's name is Meg. It's just all over the place. I was bored out of my mind. I was annoyed. I was irritated. I was frustrated with this movie and I was about to talk about the dialogue. The dialogue is horrible. I mean there's one scene at the beginning of the movie where there's a teacher and the principal just talking and the dialogue is just so forced. I mean it's like really who wrote this thing here? Who put this together? The script is trash. They were talking about Charles Wallace and the movie sucks balls and it really pains me to say that but my goodness gracious, I'm lost for words. Like I said, the only thing I liked about this movie was Chris Pine and the message of this movie that had to do with love but the acting was bad across the board. The characters was bad including the three little witches or devils or angels or whatever the hell they were. The effects were bad. The dialogue was bad and really frustrated me more than anything else as there was no rules or regulations with the time travel. I was going in this movie only being able to comprehend the third dimension which we're living in right now but I wanted to hear some fourth and fifth dimension. I wanted to hear some physics and some math and calculations being figured out and problem solving and things like that and just some scientific breakthroughs that I've never heard before like oh you know the world like this but have you ever thought about it? There was nothing remotely close to that at all. I mean they're traveling across space and time using their imagination and that's not even fully explained. The film is just a hot mess. The soundtrack is trash. It doesn't flow with the movie at all. I'm just like okay the throwing in random music now. I mean this movie is horrible in epic proportions and it really hurts me to say that because I was really rooting for you ever DuVernay but I'm not just going to say the movie is good you know and give you a pass. This movie was not good. You are two for one. Two would sell them up and thirteen is one for this loss right here of a mess of a film a wrinkling time. If I had to rate this movie out of a one out of ten oh man I would give this a two out of ten yeah a two out of ten but guys you know I set all that but in the end this is just my opinion. So have you seen a wrinkling time or do you want to see it? Have I turned you on? Have I turned you off? Do you agree with me or do you disagree with me? Let me know in the comment section below.
