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.

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 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.
This movie is a little bit childish and I believe it will be enjoyed more by teenagers. However it is watchable and the special effects are good. The acting is also good. But it wasn't as good as I had hoped. It 's not really a movie about Mars or how it could affect the first human born there but a love story between two teenagers.
Don't be confused, this is a teen romance picture. It's just that one teen is from Earth, and the other is from Mars. I actually found it very sweet. Mars boy without a clue, and Earth girl with all the answers. Great acting, great direction, fantastic score. The special effect were a bit dodgy. This film was was supposed to come out in August, then pulled to December, and now it's released in February. Please see this film!!! I found it very uplifting. The performances of Asa Butterfield, Britt Robertson, Gary Oldman, Carla Gugino, and BD Wong are fantastic. I have to keep writing because IMDb won't let a review of anything less than 10 lines ling post. Did I mention this is a kid friendly film? Thank you.

- TriviaThe background music heard throughout the film borrows heavily from the symphonic Gustav Holst composition Mars the Bringer of War, part of The Planets suite.
- GoofsAround 1:45:00, Mr. Shepherd tries to fly the shuttle higher to decrease gravity. It is true that the gravity will be decreased once the shuttle is parked in the orbit, but going higher to get into the orbit will increase gravity multiple folds, which could prove fatal for the patients of cardiomyopathies.
