Adam (Anthony Mackie) and Jane (Zoë Chao) are three years into a NASA mission that has gone very wrong: Their ship is broken and drifting between Jupiter and Saturn. Finding ways to pass the time as they become certain that no one is coming to save them, they argue over what to do. One day, Adam poses that maybe they should sleep together; Jane laughs the idea off, but it prompts a flirty debate about whether they're better off spending their remaining days as friends or something more.

Critics Consensus

The charmingly lo-fi If You Were the Last relies on the chemistry of its starring duo to fuel its emotionally driven sci-fi story.

“If You Were the Last” is game for fluffy rom-com-like tension, but it fears its own premise. What a missed opportunity.

B+

A romantic comedy that revives the screwball formula where two people talk themselves silly — and we only had to go to the end of the solar system to make it happen.

Sappy and, in terms of its comedy, rather cringe-worthy, never quite finding the sweet spot between romance and laughs.

3.5/5

If You Were the Last may feature uneven humor and characterizations, but its third act provides a perfect landing that makes the shaky flight worthwhile.

If You Were The Last is essentially a sweet story set against an incredible background, two people against the universe, and at one point Benson.

3/5

Some lovingly hand-crafted production design - somewhere between Stanley Kubrick and Wes Anderson - contributes to the film's easy-going but sincere vibe.

Definately NOT Sci-Fi! In fact the start is so bad that I switched off after 20 minutes... However, I tried again. It's a corny rom com but the acting is pretty good.

It’s not Sci-Fi. It’s set on a space shuttle, but the set makes no sense. Normal fitted kitchen, bathroom with tiles, a living room with a sofa, gravity somehow exists etc nothing about it is Sci-fi, except the use of "marooned in space" as the catalyst for the plot. It’s a Rom-Com. It’s not a bad plot if you abandon any thoughts about it being science fiction.

Dumb and cute. Not my style of movie but I needed something I would not have to think about so I put this on.

The movie has a few good twists and turns. There is a handful of complex interactions between the two main characters that leaves you wanting more. The movie is goofy but also serious and I like that aspect.
