Just when one thought the Young Adult genre of movies was dead, The Space Between Us pops up and continues to make the case for the genre to be permanently buried.

What 5 critics are saying
Critical reception for 'The Space Between Us' is largely negative, with reviewers finding a significant gap between the film's promising concept and its execution. The romantic elements between the leads receive modest acknowledgment as the film's relative bright spot. Critics broadly fault the film for generic, demographically targeted storytelling and a poorly realized science-fiction premise. One reviewer goes so far as to argue the film reinforces the case against the Young Adult genre entirely.

3.0The film has many "facts", and a smattering of alternative facts...

5.0As 'The Space Between Us' resorts to generic pandering by catering to its core demographic of teens and young adults looking for a date movie around Valentine's Day, the real space ends up being between a great concept on paper, and its actualisation on screen.

The space part of the title barely works. But at least the between us moments do.

The production values are of expected quality, but overall tread wisely into this space only if you must.
