14 Terrible Recent Movies Destined To Become Cult Classics
11. The Space Between Us
Why It's Terrible: From the writer of last year's pitiable Collateral Beauty comes this awkward mix of sci-fi drama and Nicholas Sparks weepie, which is fatally derailed by the lack of romantic chemistry between leads Britt Robertson and Asa Butterfield.
It's also got an absolute hoot of a twist ending that cements just how truly wretched it is.
Why It'll Be A Cult Classic: As badly written as this film may be, it's hard to deny that it's frequently visually stunning, especially the Mars-set sequences.
Also, the sheer peculiar smashing together of two typically disparate genres makes the movie an undeniable original, quite like nothing else out there even though, for all intents and purposes, it's an abject failure.
And if that's not enough, it's got Gary Oldman going full ham on numerous occasions, which is always a sight to see. The Space Between Us may be bad, but it sure ain't boring.
