L'Espace qui nous sépare

Okay, I'm old school dude. Like Golden Age of Science Fiction old. Maybe I'm too tolerant. But I'm not the only one! There is a lot of slamming going on here. The truth is this isn't a bad movie. If you want to be cynical then go right ahead and not enjoy yourself. This isn't science fiction. It's fantasy. Most of the gripes I read are legit. There are plenty of things that aren't scientifically correct. The plot is a new twist on an ancient concept. It's a STORY. I like the movie because it was fun to watch. Entertaining. And for a change, not a shot was fired except for rockets. So cut it a little slack and go in and be entertained.

This movie has a lot of flaws. From the instant messaging on Mars to the poor character design, there's a problem in most scenes. HOWEVER. It's a really nice story. It made me feel good. And it holds sentimental value for me. Give it a try.

Give this movie a chance. This movie takes on the inevitable. There will be a first born on Mars, and we can to see a hypothetical situation unfold around that. The characters are fairly typical and different as you would imagine, and the reality is a cliche average earth girl would 99.999999999% dismiss a guy such as this protagonist, but the great acting forces it through to work. Behind the lines and plot holes is a very straight forward and innocent romance that is made to come to life with powerful acting all round. Allow it to be, and you will love this sweet little movie. If you wanna focus on plot holes or simply more believable characters, this may not be for you, but give it a chance certainly is not a 1/10 but it far more enjoyable than the average trumpet laden Hollywood movie.

This is basically a movie about two teenagers on the run. They meet for the first time. The girl is streetwise and assertive. The boy is geeky and naive. They drive off through an America with lots of great scenery, and there's humour and romance and some feel good music. This is what is at the heart of the movie and it works well.

What doesn't work well is the back story, about the boy being born on mars. It makes for a pretty uneven film that starts out as a sci-fi movie with a crew of astronauts heading out to the stars, then morphs into something completely different. The special effects in space are wasted, because this part of the story didn't really need to be shown. Plus, some of the incidental music doesn't work too well.

The makers should've just stuck to the story of a lost boy who wanted to see the world, and a girl who just didn't fit in and was willing to show it to him.

This interplanetary romance follows Gardner Elliot, played by Asa Butterfield, a young boy born on Mars, who begins to question his origins and sets out on a journey to find his father on Earth. Along the way, he meets a beautiful girl named Tulsa and together they embark on a thrilling adventure to uncover the truth about Gardner's past. What I love about The Space Between Uss is its blend of science fiction and coming-of-age themes. The film's depiction of life on Mars, including its harsh environment and limited resources, is both fascinating and unsettling. The special effects are also impressive, bringing the Martian landscape to life in vivid detail. The cast delivers strong performances, particularly Asa Butterfield, who shines as the vulnerable and curious Gardner. The chemistry between him and Britt Robertson is undeniable, making their romance feel authentic and heartwarming.

While I found the pacing uneven and the plot predictable, I think it is a charming and underrated film that's worth watching. It's a beautiful exploration of identity, family, and love in a world that's vastly different from our own.
