Meg Murry is a typical middle school student struggling with issues of self-worth who just wants to fit in. The daughter of two world-renowned physicists, she is intelligent and uniquely gifted, as is Meg’s younger brother, Charles Wallace, but she has yet to realize it for herself. Complicating matters is the mysterious disappearance of Mr. Murry, which has left Meg devastated and her mother broken-hearted. Charles Wallace introduces Meg and her fellow classmate Calvin to three celestial beings (Mrs. Which, Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs. Who) who have journeyed to Earth to help search for their father, and together they embark on their formidable quest. Travelling via a wrinkling of time and space known as tessering, they are transported to worlds beyond their imagination where they must confront a powerful evil force. To make it back home to Earth, Meg must face the darkness within herself in order to harness the strength necessary to defeat the darkness rapidly enveloping the Universe.
Wow! This movie was massively disappointing. The key to any fantasy movie is to fluidly takes you to this different place and make you enjoy the ride. There was nothing fluid about this. It was all very forced. It was way too wordy with explanations by the characters about what was going on. That right there pretty much ruins any magic of the journey. That on top of all the wasted talent involved in this really made it even more disappointing.
I really would not recommend anyone bothering with this movie. I'm a huge Disney fan but this was pretty much their most blah and disappointing offering in a long time.
