Plots(1)
Shortly after arriving to help colonize Mars, an astronaut dies while giving birth to the first human born on the red planet, unable to reveal who the father is. The child, Gardner Elliot, is an inquisitive, highly intelligent boy who reaches the age of 16 having only met 14 people in his life. While searching for clues about his father, and the home planet he's never known, Gardner begins an online friendship with a street-smart girl named Tulsa. He arrives on Earth, eager to experience all of the wonders he's only read about. (Showtime)

Okay, we all know it's utterly stupid for an astronaut to hide her pregnancy and get to Mars, but so be it, then we wouldn't have a movie, and it would probably be a bit of a shame. I'm not saying this is a must-see, but it was so sweet and touching, I guess I was in the right mood. The visuals are beautiful, the score and soundtrack are wonderful, and I especially enjoyed Asa Butterfield in this role. And the question that will ring in my ears for a long time: "What's your favorite thing about Earth?".

When I decided to watch this film, I thought it was supposed to be an adventure/sci-fi. I failed to notice that it was also supposed to be a romance. Romance turned out to be the predominant genre, logic was who knows where taking a break, and the whole thing was clearly aimed at an audience below the age of 15, hence the naivety, I guess. And don’t get me started on the soundtrack...

I'm sorry, but this movie has such a weird logic that I just can't like it. Sending a group of people to space just so a child can be born there, who then upon return will search for their father, seems like a lot of fuss for nothing because what follows doesn't make much sense. The potential of being on Earth for the first time is not exploited at all. Plus, it's all so heartbreaking.
