Look, this is a rom-com that desperately wanted to be The Fault in Our Stars meets The Martian but ended up being neither funny enough nor romantic enough to justify its existence.
The ratings tell the story: critics were lukewarm, but audiences were downright cold. A 2.5/5 on Letterboxd and 49% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes means this is the kind of movie that makes you think 'well, that's 104 minutes I'll never get back.'
The Mars setting is wasted—it could've been a road trip movie or a cruise ship and nothing would change. The 'sneak aboard a spacecraft' premise sounds fun but apparently the execution is flat. It's safe in the sense that nothing shocking happens, but it's also just... boring.
If your teen is sick on the couch and has already watched everything else, sure, throw this on. But don't expect anyone to remember it by dinner time. There are dozens of better rom-coms (To All The Boys, The Half of It) and better space movies (The Martian, Interstellar) that actually deliver on their promises.
