One of the dumbest movies I've seen, has its good moments and that's all. Actors are ok, just the storyline is ridiculous, if you enjoy seeimg mental illness at play this one's for you.it had potential to be a great movie, but fails because of its ridiculous premise ! Could have been so much better if the characters and story made sense. Don't know why people have given it a good score, but must have watched something different than I did. If you like a romantic movie I guess it's ok, but the story has to make sense I would think. Has a good cast, unfortunately everything else is a miss. Time waster for sure !
Initially when I sat down to watch this 2022 movie, I wasn't really getting a spark from the synopsis. It sounded a bit trivial, I suppose. But with "Space Oddity" being a movie that I hadn't already seen, nor actually heard about, of course I opted to watch the movie. And I figured with Kevin Bacon on the cast list, it couldn't be all bad.
Writer Rebecca Banner managed to put together a script and storyline for the movie that genuinely and wholeheartedly entertained me. It was a very compelling and gripping storyline that proved enjoyable from beginning to end. And while the movie turned out rather different than what I had expected, it was a rather beautiful and character-driven storyline.
The acting performances in "Space Oddity" were good. Kyle Allen and Alexandra Shipp, playing the two leading parts were nicely cast for their roles and carried the movie quite well. It was definitely a powerful performance from Kyle Allen in particular. And it was nice to see the likes of Kevin Bacon and Simon Helberg on the cast list as well. I will say that Kevin Bacon really added a lot to the movie with his performance in the role he was given.
I will go as far as saying that "Space Oddity", from director Kyra Sedgwick, is a powerful and emotional-driven story that is well-worth watching. And it is definitely a movie that I will warmly recommend for you to sit down and watch.
My rating of "Space Oddity" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

Space Oddity
This was a hidden gem of a movie, I don't want to ruin the story so I shan't dwell on that, but the movie explored some very difficult aspects of the pain we suffer as a result of loving someone. It was self-evident that reality of personal abandonment manifests in a multitude of different and often worrying behaviours.
Alex, was extremely clever, he sublimated his pain with anger, recrimination and transference, out of his family he was the most damaged due to his age and immaturity.
The movie made us watch a process, it was an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish and deeply effecting. The script was tight the acting solid and pacing excellent, there were some clunky scenes that needing editing out.
Kyle Allen, who played the lead, and the whole movie rested on, really is a very talented actor and I see great things, it really was very compelling.
Whilst I made it all sound miserable it was a very happy life reaffirming story that reminds us life is for the living. I'm surprised at the low marks on here when I am giving it a firm 8 outta 10. As an aside in England we give children a hamster to learn about life and death, Alex clearly never had a hamster lol.

It may be slow paced, and pretty obvious story-wise in terms of the final outcome, but it's a truly well put together movie that is thoughtful, heart warming and also endearing.
In all honesty, the cast are the true stars, they have a very limited story to tell but they express everything in a short but sweet way. Also, I'm very impressed with Alexandra Shipp, I don't know too much about her career or resume but she ticks all the right boxes.
Lastly, I think Kyra Sedgwick did a fantastic job directing. It's a movie filled with many emotional intricacies but it was handled with due care and loving attention. You can tell when a movie was handcrafted compared to the "copy-paste" template we all have to endure these days from big budget studios.
Space Oddity is a beautifully crafted movie and well worth a viewing on a relaxing Sunday afternoon.
It gets a low budget 8 out of 10 for me.

What do you need to be alive (Despite food , water,oxygen, ...)? Yes , you need Hope/Dream, Odd ? No it is not Odd , it is Real (Jeremiah 29-11 ). It is essential for life,And some of people around you are pro/against your dream/hope (Romans 4-18),This movie tries to show this. Hope/Dream helps you to find your way to reach your goals(Psalm 62-5). Great actors like Kevin Bacon and Kyle Allen in this move attract your feeling by their play, Also great director Kyra Sedwick (side by side with her husband Bacon and Rebecca Banner ) is the the reason which this movie wonderfully/amazingly came out.
