“The Space Between Us” (**1/2 out of four) was a pleasant love story aimed at teenagers about the first human born on Mars (Asa Butterfield) who travels to Earth for the first time to discover how he came into existence and falls in love with a girl (Britt Robertson), with his scientist father (Gary Oldman) in pursuit to try to return him home. Combination of sci/fi melodrama, teenage romance, and otherworldly adventure never quite gells and takes off although it remains watchable and Robertson is strong as usual. No relation to The Dave Matthews Band song of the same name which surprisingly isn’t on the soundtrack.
