“Even though this movie turned out to be a massive critical and commercial flop, I was still curious to see if it was really so bad.

March to April 2018 Tomatometer Predictions (14 movies items)"Tomatometer Guess: 54%. Ava DuVernay directs this live-action adaptation of Madeline L'Engel's famous novel of the same name. Actual Score: 40%. A Wrinkle in Time is Visually striking and well-acted but unfortunately suffers from a generic script that tries to adapt the novel scene for scene with mixed results."
