Gardner Eliot (Asa Butterfield) was born on Mars. His mother dies at childbirth. The company owned by Nathaniel Shepherd (Gary Oldman) opts to keep it all a secret. Eliot develops an on-line relationship with a foster girl named Tulsa (Britt Robertson) who doesn't like Earth boys. She doesn't know Eliot is on Mars because they ignored the fact there are several minutes in time delay between the planets. One of those silly speed of light things. Eliot longs to see Earth, but will have issues if he returns.
This is like a bubble boy escapes and the film has two choices for an ending, one happy and one very sad.
The love story aspect was a bit lame and not believable.It is a film aimed at kids who might like some geek aspect to their love story in spite of the fact science was on the top in some scenes and ignored in others.
Guide: No F-words. Brief implied sex.
