Movie #1410 "Space Between Us" -- this is another plane film (one that I probably wouldn't go out of my way to watch, but it was the length of time I had to view a movie before they stop it due to landing (anything to do that safely, in my opinion!). Anyway, this is going to sound the same as the previous plane film, and the one that follows ---- story kept my interest, it was way too far fetched, but the actors were winning and competent to keep my interest. This time it was sci-fi that deals with the idea that a female astronaut was pregnant without Nasa knowing that before she gets on the shuttle, and then has the baby on the flight to Mars and dies giving childbirth (not giving away too much -- happens in the opening) The boy is truly a martian, never experiencing life on earth, but he so wants to, and he's connected to a young h.s. girl named Tulsa in Colorado ---- he wants to meet her ON earth. The rest is how he does that and the results. There's a mystery who his dad is throughout the film (and that answer I had way before the kid did, go figure) , so a bit farfetched, hard to believe, but heartwarming because of the theme of living life in the present!!! One of the reasons I watched it was the cast --- first time I can remember in a long time that Carla Gugino is a lead in the film (hooray for her --- she's always very convincing to me) and I'm a huge fan of Britt Robertson ("you murderer of Love" from "Dan in Real Life," one of my all-time faves) and Asa Butterfield ("Boy in the Striped Pajamas" and "Hugo"). They were good, but this film script is only for people looking for escapism ---- I'd give it 3.8 out of 5.
