Review of The Space Between Us (2017) by Chelsea F — 17 Oct 2016

Just saw a screening of this movie, and I can confidently say that I am overwhelming glad I did not pay money to see this, although I would hand over $12 in a heartbeat to get the time back I wasted watching this.

There have been precious few times I contemplated walking out of a movie and this was unfortunately one of them. And what's so sad about it is that this movie started going downhill approximately 3 minutes after the opening scene.

The first 10 minutes escalated faster than a rocket into space and left me with more questions than answers. And the characters were so paper thin I really wouldn't have cared if any of them died.

Well, except for Britt Robertson. She was actually the best part of this movie, even if her character was just as see-through as the rest of them. There were so many plot holes and inconsistencies I am literally shocked this screenwriter is still employable.

And the director gave this movie so many "WTF" and "Please God, no" moments all I could do is stare at the screen with a mixture of intense confusion and disgust. Disappointed is an understatement.

"The Space Between Us" is pure saccharin. It's like eating a bowl of Cool Whip: lots of artificial flavors and ingredients with zero substance.
