wherein Liz watches A Wrinkle in Time
Mar. 26th, 2018 02:40 pmI was afraid I wasn't going to make it to A Wrinkle in Time before it closed at my local theater, but my morning appointment finished early and I didn't have anyone scheduled until 2pm (and that guy is thus far a no-show, grr), so I blocked a fake appointment for myself, walked over to the mall, and watched a movie. :)
I don't know if I'd say it was objectively a very good movie -- though it was worlds away from a bad movie -- but I am unable to be completely objective about A Wrinkle in Time and the movie captured enough of the heart of the book that I love it too. ♥
( spoilery thoughts )
This sounds like I'm complaining a bunch. Really, it's just that the movie got the heart of the story so utterly right that I am harping on relatively minor details because I wish they'd matched up/been in tune with that heart a little more. I gripe because I love. *wry*
And like I said, the movie is visually gorgeous. I am glad I got to see it on the big screen, and I am glad the story was adapted by people who so obviously understood its point, and how vastly important a story it is to tell. ♥
