Der 16-jährige Gardner ist der erste Mensch, der auf dem Mars geboren worden ist. Seine Mutter war bereits auf dem Flug zum roten Planeten schwanger, verstarb aber bei seiner Geburt. Shepherd, der Leiter der Mars-Mission, hat dies der Öffentlichkeit verschwiegen und Gardner führt ein einsames Leben auf dem Mars. Alles ändert sich, als Gardner beschließt, seinen Vater auf der Erde zu finden. Via Internet befreundet er sich dabei mit der gleichaltrigen Tulsa. Als ihm die Reise auf die Erde gelingt, sucht er Tulsa auf, und begibt sich mit ihr auf das Abenteuer seines Lebens. Sein Körper scheint der starken Schwerkraft aber nicht gewachsen zu sein. (ORF)

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.

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?".
