... score of 4 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Beatrice Verhoeven, provided by. Published 1:31 pm, Thursday, February 2, 2017. Image 1 of/1. ‘The Space Between Us': Rom-Com ‘Fails to Launch’ and 6 Other Abysmal Reviews. 1 / 1. Back to Gallery. “The Space Between Us” is having a rough launch ahead of its theatrical debut on Friday. The film holds a current score of four percent on Rotten Tomatoes. “It’s hard not to engage in eye-rolling over what already promises to be one of 2017’s worst movies: ‘The Space Between Us’ spends so much time piling one daffy, laughable plot beat upon another that it never bothers to nail down the characters,” wrote The Wrap’s film critic Alonso Duralde. More than 20 critics seem to agree with Duralde, describing the film starring Britt Robertson and Asa Butterfield as “unbearably ridiculous” and one that “stumbles, staggers and sputters out of the gate.”. The rom-com, about a Martian boy who travels to earth to meet his pen pal but discovers his organs can’t survive on earth, was written by Allan Loeb (“Collateral Beauty”) and directed by Peter Chelsom.

... Britt Robertson (who was 25 during filming) looks too mature to play 17-year-old Tulsa. But she brings scrappy charm to the motorcycle-riding, biplane-flying tough gal.

Starring Steve Coogan, Garion Dowds. Directed by Oliver Schmitz. Opens Friday at the Carlton. 80 minutes. 14 A. It’s a film that puts capital punishment itself on trial. Set during the apartheid era in South Africa, the film focuses on a lawyer and staunch opponent of capital punishment who defends a young white prison guard who kills seven black men in a bloody rampage. It’s a case no one wants, for good reason. Steve Coogan makes a rare departure from his usual comedy oeuvre to play legal advocate Johan Webber, who struggles to mount a defence for a ...

Martian Teen Saga Earthbound By Inanity

... feels hemmed in; he’s spent his entire life on Mars, mourning his mother and curious about the father he never met. (He fills his days with repeat viewings of “Wings of Desire,” violating the rule that a film should never contain another, better film that audiences would rather be watching.). His only contact with anyone outside the Mars colony comes in his daily text sessions with Tulsa (Britt Robertson), a foster teen living in Colorado. Gardner tells her he lives in a New York penthouse and can’t ever leave because of a bone disease; it’s not entirely untrue, since the difference in gravity between Earth and Mars would require him to have skeletal implants.

Cinematographer Barry Peterson On ‘the Space Between Us’ And Moving From Comedy To Sci-fi

... up there, we definitely had to plan for it and decide how to rig things. What was your working relationship with Peter like. PETERSON: Peter is a fantastic man, number one, and what’s interesting is he’s an avid photographer, so he really understands how much you can get with an image; the power of composition, he understands all of that so clearly.

He’s a genius, he literally does find incredible things, but you do plan on looking ...
