Amazing movie. It makes you think about life and the little things that should make us happy every day, but we forget to pay attention to them. Few films unfold the meaning of life in such a way. The story is good, at the beginning it starts a bit vague but then it unfolds its full potential. My only quibble is that I don't think this film can be described as a genre comedy, leaving that aside I recommend watching it. I really liked the parts where they try to make us think about what we are doing to the environment and what effects it has on nature and ourselves. If everyone who watches this film gets its meaning the world will be a much better place.
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.

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.

Despite Kyle Allen's (Alex) lackluster performance, the rest of the cast manages to salvage the movie with their best efforts in a predictable plot. The most rewarding aspect of the film is the development of Jeff and his daughter Liz's relationship, as Liz's tough exterior gradually melts away to reveal her love for growing flowers. However, with the looming threat of a ruined planet and inevitable destruction, it seemed likely that Alex would leave for Mars. The cover of David Bowie's iconic song, "Space Oddity," provides a glimmer of hope. But unfortunately, the final plot twist was predictable and underwhelming, resulting in a mediocre rating of 5.5/10, which can be rounded up to 6/10. Would I recommend this movie to watch? No. If you watch, would you like it? Not sure!
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.
