Review of The Space Between Us (2017) by Mirraabel — 12 Feb 2017

I rolled my eyes so much, that I am now able to look in two separate directions at the same time.

It was a struggle to sit through this movie, the only thing keeping me in the theater were the hands of my friends holding me back in my seat. Afterwards, my blood was boiling and my eyes were dry as I was.

Preparing myself for tears-- none came, in fact, my body couldn't find a reason to create any fluid.

The beginning of the movie was the only decent part. An introduction to perseverance and innovation in the (not so distant, it's set in 2018) future. The saddest scene in the entire thing would be Sarah Elliot's.

Death, which was brilliant acting by the way.

The whole film has an underlying message of Earth's destruction, covered up by a love story. Gardner and Tusla's love story is basically a modern day Romeo and Juliet: they just meet, make out, make love, and make out some more in a seemingly short span of time. It seemed so rushed I would pinpoint the duration to be two to three days max. What I only really got from their whole escapade is the empowerment for teen rebellion and idiocy, and that love is an essential thing to be able to 'live' and must be experienced. Gardner escapes NASA and multiple authority forces, creating a whole bunch of **** for everyone because he needs to see Tusla, the girl who he's only seen through a video cam but talked to everyday (because since it's the future, that's.

Totally safe and okay to tell someone your location and your life details!!!) But it's all okay, because it's in the name of love, right? Everything is reasonable if it's for love! Even though the purpose of their journey was to locate and meet Gardner's father, it really was.

More of how much Tusla and Gardner can make out and do everything love is. Another fault would be the casting, which (unintenionally I hope) gave off the aura of the acceptance of age gap relationships. Although Gardner and Tusla are supposed to be the same age, the age gap between.

The actors is obvious. But wait, Gardner's father? Nathaniel Shepard, who seems to be at least twenty years older than Sarah based on features. But that's okay, age is just a number, right? It was consistently unrealistic, even for a futuristic movie. Tusla can drive any type of vehicle, and even though she hasn't driven (or barely knows how to) in her life, she is able to take off and land it. Tusla is also able to steal multiple cars with ease, without getting into trouble with Social Services or the cops. In this future, the.

Technology is so advanced that Nathaniel and Kendra are able to hack into every camera in the world and everyone has holographic computers and devices, yet the police can't catch one girl.

My favorite part about the entire thing was the soundtrack, the music gave me emotions that were appropriate for the scene while the actual performance could not.

Overall, I wished I had seen A Dog's Purpose instead of being dragged to suffer the cliche of the day. Asa Butterfield used to be one of my favourite actors, but now he joins Britt Robertson on Satan's list for most terrible actors. This movie has lost my respect for the future of the industry as well as mankind.
