Essentially reimagining “Starman” as a tepid YA weepie, “The Space Between Us” adds the one thing that’s been missing from melodramatic teen dramas like “The Fault in Our Stars” and “If I Stay”: Mars. Of course! The Red Planet. What took them so long? It’s such a perfectly natural setting for a genre that has wasted millions upon millions of dollars searching for signs of life. Alas, there are none to be found in this otherwise guileless and good-natured sci-fi love story.

This should have been called The Fault in Our Mars.

Trapping a fine cast in an endless parade of eye-rolling schmaltz, The Space Between Us unfortunately answers the question as to what would happen if Nicholas Sparks took on science fiction. The only space I need is 500 miles of space away from this movie.

manic pixie dream space baby!!

i could write 2,000 words tearing apart plot holes and dubious morals and occasionally vomitrocious dialogue. but i refuse to battle my mind's sense of what makes a good movie with my soul's desire to enjoy a pretty dreamy thing with a good score no matter how lame it is, because in the case of corny-ass cliche teens my trash soul is always going to win. this movie wants to be interesting so bad, in a nutshell: in the first half the kid is obsessed with watching wings of desire, but then in the second half he almost dies because his heart is literally too big for earth. it shares a lot of beautiful dumbass vibes with age of adaline. i liked that movie too. don't drag me

Imagine be blessed with being the first person born on Mars and fall into a job as a NASA scientist, then being such a privileged shit head you throw it all away for some girl you never met. Wild.

Basically every other YA romantic melodrama but with Starman, The Martian, D.A.R.Y.L., random Wim Wenders rip-offs and references, and a touch of Collateral Beauty (another poor Allan Loeb-penned cornball cheesefest) thrown in there for good measure, Peter Chelsom’s The Space Between Us takes an admittedly interesting concept for a sci-fi love story and wastes it on a script laden with poorly written characters, laughable and obvious plot twists, and an onslaught of cheap, overbearing sentiment.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Maybe I loved this.....and if I did......so what?

The ending was a bit anticlimactic and the plot twist at the end was sucky. Overall, it's a sweet and light movie to watch.

좋은 영상미와 좋은 OST뿐인 로맨스 영화.
7살 차이나는 두 주연 배우의 연애만큼 몰입 안되는 개연성과 메시지.

mars is between 4-20 lightminutes away from Earth, meaning any sort of live video chat is impossible

Why gary, w h y ?

foi engracado

I totally forgot that I've watched this meh. It has a great cast, but it is all tone down to a dumb point. I don't get why some YA movies have to be this basic and crappy
