- 50If 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.
- 40Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzArizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzIt seems unfinished, choppy, the storytelling almost of the after-school special variety.
- 38Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreThe 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.
- 38Slant MagazineKenji FujishimaSlant MagazineKenji FujishimaThe Space Between Us is simply disappointing when it isn’t trying to browbeat its audience into emotional submission.
- 38RogerEbert.comChristy LemireRogerEbert.comChristy LemireThe whole thing ultimately collapses in a heap of unintentionally hilarious melodrama.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckCombining 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.
- 25The Seattle TimesSoren AndersenThe Seattle TimesSoren AndersenThe nonstop silliness of this picture leaves one choking on stifled laughter.
- 20TheWrapAlonso DuraldeTheWrapAlonso DuraldeIt’s hard not to engage in eye-rolling over what already promises to be one of 2017’s worst movies: The Space Between Us spends so much time piling one daffy, laughable plot beat upon another that it never bothers to nail down the characters.
- 20VarietyPeter DebrugeVarietyPeter DebrugeIf romance-seeking audiences know what’s best for them, they’ll put some space between themselves and this movie.
