I had this teacher in High School who use to read to us. I don't remember what the class subject was, but now that I look back on that, it was just filler for the class. We were tested on the readings, but it was a nice time for a nap. She read A Wrinkle in Time to us. I remember liking it but I don't remember much about it, except there were tesseracts. I also remember a scene where Meg had to remove a small disc implant from her armpit, but maybe that was one of the sequels. Anyway, the point is I don't remember this book at all.
As for the film, wow, what a glorious fail. The color schemes are way too bright, like the detergent aisle at the market. The effects are overdone. The plot makes little sense, just a random string of ideas about light vs. dark, good vs. evil, and the power of love. Mindy Kaling was amusing speaking in quotes. Reese was a bit annoying. Chris Pine was Pine-y as always. I'm really uncomfortable with a giant Oprah. Zach was really, really dumb. The kids were okay, but they were trapped in this horrid film. There were moments of surreality that almost make it but then crash and burn into dumbatude. It's even a father/daughter tale and I have a huge soft spot for those. But giant Oprah is such a dealbreaker.
No sword fights. Totally not recommended for any DOOM and if any of you bother to see this, I'll regret jumping on this grenade for you. Like that's the thanks I get.
