About this movie

In this interplanetary adventure, a space shuttle embarks on the first mission to colonize Mars, only to discover after takeoff that one of the astronauts is pregnant. Shortly after landing, she dies from complications while giving birth to the first human born on the red planet – never revealing who the father is. Thus begins the extraordinary life of Gardner Elliot – an inquisitive, highly intelligent boy who reaches the age of 16 having only met 14 people in his very unconventional upbringing. 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 in Colorado named Tulsa. When he finally gets a chance to go to Earth, he's eager to experience all of the wonders he could only read about on Mars – from the most simple to the extraordinary. But once his explorations begin, scientists discover that Gardner's organs can't withstand Earth's atmosphere. Eager to find his father, Gardner escapes the team of scientists and joins with Tulsa on a race against time to unravel the mysteries of how he came to be, and where he belongs in the universe.

Ratings and reviews

This is a fab movie, a little rushed in parts but what do I expect as it's all had to fit in together in a 2 hour film! Heart warming and really enjoyable to watch... *** I've rated this 5 stars for the movie itself although I had to buy Blu-ray to watch it as there's no subtitles on Googleplay store which it is disappointing :( Had to pay full price for DVD when I could have paid rented cost on the Google store if it's has subtitles :/ ***

It's not good, but it's not bad. It's just a corny teen movie.

This is a good film which has a twist at the end! Worth watching.
