The Space Between Us
Within the first 15 minutes of this film—and midway to Mars—mission commander Sarah Elliot discovers she’s pregnant! Alas, her spaceship doesn't even have one measly abortion pill. Eventually, this unplanned space baby grows up to be Gardner Elliot (Asa Butterfield), which means there’s already a huge amount of ground to cover before Space Between even gets to be the story it wants to be, which is a doomed teenager make-out road trip movie. I know. Why did they start in space? After an hour of backstory, a wide-eyed Gardner finally waddles onto Earth and smooches motorcycle-riding Earth-girl Tulsa (Britt Robertson). But then here comes Gary Oldman and he’s upset about something!
