Review of The Space Between Us (2017) by Dan L — 29 Dec 2017
A movie about a teenager named Gardner Elliot (played by Asa Butterfield) who was born and raised on Mars. Feeling isolated and alone, he wants to experience the wonders of planet Earth, socialize and connect with other people, and meet the love of his life (played by Britt Robertson) as well as his father.
The Space Between Us started off very promising, but it turns into a generic road trip movie with a really trite romance. It's barely even a sci-fi movie in the second half. For a movie set in 2034, the only thing that's futuristic on planet Earth were the computers. And you can hack cars with a smartphone, but the smartphones still look the same. I HIGHLY DOUBT people will still use iPhones in 2034.
What's worse is that everything is at their disposal while they're on this road trip. A mother leaves her tablet on the table and takes her kid to the bathroom when the main characters need to use the internet. A woman leaves her car door open when the main characters need a car. Don't waste your time with this film!
