Plot
Thirteen-year-old Meg Murry struggles to adjust at school due to bullying and depression, four years after the disappearance of her father, Alex, who was a renowned astrophysicist. Meg discovers her gifted younger brother, Charles Wallace, with an unusual visitor, Mrs. Whatsit, who claims that the tesseract — a method of space travel Alex was studying — is real.
Meg and Charles Wallace meet Calvin O'Keefe, who joins them at the house of Mrs. Who, another strange friend of Charles Wallace, she speaks only in quotations. Calvin has dinner with the Murry's, and Mrs. Murry recalls Alex's commitment to their research despite public ridicule. In the backyard, Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs. Who appear with Mrs. Which, revealing themselves as astral travelers. Explaining that they have come to help find Alex, (who did not leave his family but has transported himself across the universe) the Misses lead Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace through a tesseract to the distant planet Uriel.
The planet's sentient flowers confirm that Alex visited Uriel, and Mrs. Whatsit transforms into a leaf-like flying creature, carrying the children into the sky. Calvin nearly falls to his death after noticing a dark planet that Mrs. Which identifies as Camazotz, home to evil energy known as "the IT". They tesser to the planet Orion to seek the help of a seer named Happy Medium. Mrs. Which reveals that the IT spreads negativity throughout the universe, including that on Earth.
Happy Medium helps Meg overcome her self-doubt, and they learn that her father tessered to Uriel, then Ixchel, but was trapped on Camazotz. The Misses insist they regroup on Earth, but Meg's determination to save her father overrides the tesseract, unintentionally redirecting them to Camazotz. Unable to stay, (as Camazotz's evil is stronger than their light) the Misses bestow gifts before departing: Mrs. Who gives Meg her glasses to see what is really there, Mrs. Whatsit gives Meg the knowledge of her faults, and Mrs. Which gives the children the command to never separate.
A forest appears, separating Meg and Calvin from Charles Wallace. They are pursued by a tornado-like storm, which Meg uses the storm's own force to slingshot her and Calvin atop a cliff wall, where they reunite with Charles Wallace. They find themselves in a neighborhood of lookalike homes, children, and mothers; one woman invites the children inside, although Meg politely declines her offer feeling suspicion. Their surroundings transform into a crowded beach, where a man introduces himself as Red. Assuring them that Alex is safe, he offers them food. When Charles Wallace says the food tastes like sand, Red possesses him through the IT, of which Red is actually a puppet.
Meg and Calvin chase after Red and Charles Wallace through the crowd, but are trapped in a seemingly empty, spherical room. Red deactivates while the possessed Charles Wallace taunts Meg and Calvin. Using Mrs. Who's glasses, Meg finds an invisible staircase to another room where her father is imprisoned. After a tearful but happy reunion, they are dragged by Charles Wallace to meet his master. As Calvin and Meg fall under the IT's power, Alex opens a tesseract to escape with the two of them. Refusing to abandon Charles Wallace, Meg projects back to Camazotz and confronts the IT in its malevolent, neuron-like form.
Charles Wallace and the IT try to force Meg to give in to darkness, menacing her with an idealized version of herself, but Meg embraces her own imperfections and uses her love for her brother to free him. The IT dissipates as the Misses reappear, congratulating Meg and Charles Wallace on becoming "Warriors of Light". Meg tessers them home, where Alex is reunited with his wife. Meanwhile Calvin leaves to confront his father, and Meg looks to the sky, thanking the Misses.{{Citation|title=A Wrinkle in Time (2018) - IMDb|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1620680/plotsummary|access-date=2021-06-26}}

In October 2010, Walt Disney Pictures retained the film rights for the 1962 novel A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L'Engle, which had previously been made as a 2003 television film. Following the financial success of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (2010), Disney hired Jeff Stockwell to write the screenplay for Cary Granat and his new Bedrock Studios. Granat had previously worked with Disney on the Chronicles of Narnia and Bridge to Terabithia films.{{cite news| last = Fernandez| first = Jay| title = Bedrock taps Jeff Stockwell to adapt 'Wrinkle'| work = The Hollywood Reporter| date = October 14, 2010| url = https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bedrock-taps-jeff-stockwell-adapt-21791| access-date = October 21, 2014| archive-date = 28 June 2019| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190628204335/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bedrock-taps-jeff-stockwell-adapt-21791| url-status = live}} The project's budget was slated to be $35 million, which the company compared to District 9 and Bridge to Terabithia, both of which were made for less than $30 million.{{cite news|last=Pond|first=Steve|title=Granat Launches Family-Oriented Bedrock Studios (Updated)|url=https://www.thewrap.com/granat-launches-family-oriented-bedrock-studios-updated-15369/|access-date=October 21, 2014|work=TheWrap|date=March 17, 2010|archive-date=27 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200927053328/https://www.thewrap.com/granat-launches-family-oriented-bedrock-studios-updated-15369/|url-status=live}}

Alonso Duralde of TheWrap praised the film's visuals and performances, writing: "Awash in bold colors, bright patterns and ebullient kids, director Ava DuVernay's new take on A Wrinkle in Time dazzles its way across time and space even if it doesn't quite stick the landing."{{cite web|url=https://www.thewrap.com/a-wrinkle-in-time-film-review-oprah-winfrey-ava-duvernay-2018/|title='A Wrinkle in Time' Film Review: Oprah Hitchhikes the Galaxy in Trippy Kiddie Treat|first=Alonso|last=Durande|work=TheWrap|date=March 7, 2018|access-date=March 7, 2018|archive-date=7 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180307205525/https://www.thewrap.com/a-wrinkle-in-time-film-review-oprah-winfrey-ava-duvernay-2018/|url-status=live}} David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a "C+" and praised what he described as its ambition, saying: "It almost doesn't matter that the movie is too emotionally prescriptive to have any real power, or too high on imagination to leave any room for wonder; DuVernay evinces such faith in who she is and what she's doing that A Wrinkle in Time remains true to itself even when everything on screen reads false."{{cite web|last=Ehrlich|first=David|date=March 7, 2018|title='A Wrinkle in Time' Review: Ava DuVernay's Eye-Popping Spectacle Proves that a Little Imagination Can Go a Long Way|url=https://www.indiewire.com/2018/03/a-wrinkle-in-time-review-ava-duvernay-oprah-1201936784/|website=IndieWire|publisher=Penske Business Media|access-date=March 7, 2018|archive-date=14 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180714153452/https://www.indiewire.com/2018/03/a-wrinkle-in-time-review-ava-duvernay-oprah-1201936784/|url-status=live}} Jamie Broadnax, a freelance writer and member of the Critic's Choice Awards, tweeted that after seeing the film for the second time, she still was unable to conceptualize and take in the visuals displayed throughout the film and the numerous performances from various characters.{{cite news|first=Brandon|last=Katz|title=What are Critics Saying about 'A Wrinkle in Time'?|newspaper=The New York Observer|date=February 27, 2018}} Kat Candler, an American independent filmmaker, stated that the film was a "gorgeous love letter to the warriors of the next generation". Mercedes Howze of the New Pittsburgh Courier stated that the visuals were extraordinary and that the film "continues to make lasting impressions on innocent minds to change what it looks like to be a young black woman".{{cite news|first=Mercedes J.|last=Howze|title=Imagery is Everything in 'A Wrinkle in Time|url=https://newpittsburghcourier.com/2018/03/16/imagery-is-everything-in-a-wrinkle-in-time-mercedes-march-14/|newspaper=New Pittsburgh Courier|date=March 16, 2018|access-date=January 8, 2021}}
Vince Mancini of Uproxx gave the film a negative review, saying, "...if anything, the trouble with Wrinkle is that you never really get a sense of DuVernay's personal touch. In fact, it feels a lot like Brad Bird's big-budget, equally smarmy 2015 Disney film Tomorrowland. Both attempt to be so broad and universal that they feel disconnected from anything human. But universality doesn't work that way, no matter how much you tell everyone to think like a kid."{{cite web|last=Mancini|first=Vince|url=http://uproxx.com/filmdrunk/a-wrinkle-in-time-review-disney-ava-duvernay-oprah-winfrey/|title='A Wrinkle In Time' Is A Series Of Affirmations In Search Of A Story|website=Uproxx|date=March 7, 2018|access-date=March 7, 2018|archive-date=8 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180308083120/https://uproxx.com/filmdrunk/a-wrinkle-in-time-review-disney-ava-duvernay-oprah-winfrey/|url-status=live}} Conner Schwerdtfeger, former entertainment journalist for CinemaBlend, stated that the movie was "all over the place and underperformed," but that DuVernay deserves some praise for the attempt at filming the seemingly unfilmable. Sean Mulvihill in "Living Luminaries: On the Serious Business of Happiness," stated that the film had no flow, and although some moments "come alive" in the film, it could not save it. Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter felt that the film was "unable to charm or disarm" the audience.{{cite news|first=Todd|last=McCarthy|author-link=Todd McCarthy|title='A Wrinkle in Time': Film Review|magazine=The Hollywood Reporter|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/a-wrinkle-time-review-1090750|date=March 7, 2018|access-date=January 8, 2021}} Wenlei Ma, film and TV critic of news.com.au, stated that, following the halfway mark in the film, movie-goers find themselves "not caring about the other characters besides Meg" and that it seemed to "drag" in the latter half. She called the film a disappointment, regardless of the value parents find in the messages for children via quotations from Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela.{{cite web|first=Wenlei|last=Ma|title=MOVIE REVIEW: A Wrinkle in Time is Visually Spectacular but Unsatisfying|url=https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/movies/new-movies/a-wrinkle-in-time-is-visually-spectacular-but-unsatisfying/news-story/34b157d9b945dd31f582d17362d9d10d|website=news.com.au|date=March 29, 2018|access-date=January 8, 2021}}
