The Space Between Us Giveaway

This weekend while my hubby was gone I had the chance to watch The Space Between Us. I had seen the trailers while it was in the theaters, but never had a chance to go see it. Man am I glad I was offered the opportunity to review it and host a giveaway!

We've really enjoyed movies with Gary Oldman, Carla Gugino, Asa Butterfield, and Britt Robertson so with them all together in this sci-fi movie, we knew it would be a good family night movie. Here's the storyline of the movie:

Sixteen-year-old Gardner Elliot (Butterfield) is the first human born on Mars, living his whole life with a team of scientists on the red planet.  He’s always longed to see Earth to find the father he’s never known and to meet a beautiful street smart girl named Tulsa (Robertson) he’s encountered friends with online.  But when his chance finally comes, doctors discover his heart can’t withstand the Earth’s atmosphere.  Eager to find his father, Gardner and Tulsa escape on a cross-country race against time to unravel the mysteries of how he came to be and where he belongs in the universe.  See the heartfelt and inspiring romantic adventure about how far one person can go for love.


The movie starts with a group of astronauts getting ready to head into space and the adventure doesn't stop until the credits start to roll. I'm not typically a sci-fi kind of gal, but this movie was more about the relationships between all of the characters than anything too scientific. I think with the direction our space programs are going, it was a great idea to study. What IF a child was born on another planet. Would they ever be able to adjust physically to life on Earth?

It was interesting that Gardner didn't really understand society or how to converse with people on Earth when he lived with scientists for 16 yrs. Now granted, they probably never expected him to go BACK to Earth, but still, you'd think the astronauts would raise him to understand how people interact. So many things that make you go, "hmmm," as you watch the movie. Lots of what-ifs out there.

No spoilers here, but I found the ending very interesting! Definitely a movie you don't want to miss. Two people will win a copy!
