I had never heard of this movie before I saw it, so had no idea or expectations whatsoever. I had to st op about 20 minutes after they got to the distant planet because it was just going nowhere. It was silly, making no sense, and some of the characters were awful. The feminized white kid, who seemed to have no purpose whatever besides standing there admiring Meg's hair. The freakish younger brother, the creepy Reese Witherspoon character. Afterwards I looked it up and found out it was made from a 1962 book, Oprah was in it, it was directed by a Black woman, etc. I did spot Chris Pine right away, and neither this movie or his performance will likely add anything useful to his resume.
I was a 100% unbiased reviewer and I thought it was garbage. So glad I didn't pay to see it.

Was really good. Never lost me in their adventure to the unknown. Went with my 13 year old grand daughter & she loved it, seeing it for the 2nd time. Not action packed but that's not for every movie

Just a very underwhelming movie overall, especially given the hype. There was some good eye candy, but it just didn't hold my attention. I didn't read the book, so I went in with no expectations. Time to read the book.

Read the book, the movie tries to replicate fantastical ideas that are very difficult to translate to the big screen. Writers/director tried hard, the cast did a great job, but it falls short on the wonderful book of the same name.
