      Older moviegoers may also recognize The Space Between Us as a dress-up variation on the old Jeff Bridges/Karen Allen movie “Starman” (1984), and by far the best parts have to do with Gardner’s often comic adjustments to life on Earth.

      If you dare to keep track, the dumb stuff in The Space Between Us piles up quickly.... But it's not as easy to make fun of the mild sweetness at the heart of the movie.

      It seems unfinished, choppy, the storytelling almost of the after-school special variety.

      Movie Nation

      The science is sloppy, the sentimentality is sloppier in “The Space Between Us,” a sci-fi romance pairing up agreeable leads in a cut-and-paste script.

      The Space Between Us is simply disappointing when it isn’t trying to browbeat its audience into emotional submission.

      The whole thing ultimately collapses in a heap of unintentionally hilarious melodrama.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      Combining its adventure and romantic plotlines in painfully hokey fashion, The Space Between Us (the title is a pun, get it?) is so ludicrous that only a cinematic stylist might have been able to pull it off.

      The nonstop silliness of this picture leaves one choking on stifled laughter.
