Wrinkle in Time
Mar. 29th, 2018 11:19 amThis was really good! I hadn't expected it to be filmable, but they did a really good job, conveying most of the original without worrying about changing little details.
The characters were excellent. Charles Wallace really seemed both like an empathetic genius but also like a six year old. Meg was great. The Mrses if anything seemed better portrayed, as otherworldly and strange, as good, as powerful and helpful, but not entirely practical. (I loved seeing Mindy Kaling in role other than The Mindy Project.)
The creepy bits were creepy. They did a good job conveying the magic and magical nature of reality with a connection to mainstream physics (although obviously I would have preferred technobabble that might actually click with physicists.
It's funny, usually I empathise with the put-upon lonely genius, but apparently I empathise with the put-upon loner a lot more than the genius when my empathy has to choose.
Liv excited if they make the sequel about mitochondria.
I hear BBC are making City and the City? Wow, that's going to be hard. But seeing Wrinkle in Time I wondered if they could actually make a good job adapting Young Wizards!
