Astronaut's Wife

Pros: You can sleep through it without missing anything. And the DVD makes a nice Frisbee.
Cons: It exists

Did you ever see a movie that was so bad that you watched it again, thinking you must have missed something the first time around? 1999's The Astronaut's Wife is such a movie. Well, let's get this review over with so I can try to forget this ...

Pros: Good if you are looking for a 110 minute nap.
Cons: Implausible at best, drags on, Ending high in suckage factor.

Ok, so I know I have this annoyingly bad habit of watching movies that have been watched and BEEN reviewed eighty billion times over, but with this one I just couldn’t help my poor self.

So, it starts out with a cutesy scene of...

Pros: It has a good cast and it's imaginitive ............
Cons: It was confusing at parts

The Astronauts wife is movie that tells us, what if there is life just out floating in space that we just haven't seen or maybe that we can't even see. It goes into our bodies and takes over us. But this movie even with the incredibly cute acter it still...

Pros: suspense
Cons: bad acting, boring

This is a bad straight up. The plot is not too original, the acting was even worse. Even though the movie is about aliens possessing two astronauts, that does not make the actors some room to be bad actors.

Both main characters are mediochre...

Pros: one scene has a waterfall in the house(it's irrelevant to the plot, mind you)
Cons: everything not involving the waterfall in the house...

Well, they've done it. They finally made a movie where every actor could have easily been replaced by a rock and where every scene could have easily been replaced by a wide shot of a highway with no traffic. And nobody would have noticed the...

Pros: Entertaining, but stupid.
Cons: Slow moving, acting leaves alot to be desired.

I usually like Johnny Depp. He was pretty good as an astronaut who returns from his space mission a changed man.
Charlize Theron, who has been in almost every other movie I have seen lately plays his wife. Her character was a very slow moving...

Pros: Nice idea for a movie.
Cons: Poorly acted.

I had read some of the poor reviews for this film prior to watching it so I knew what to expect. This film has a really good (though far from original) plot involving two astronauts whose bodies are taken over while on a space mission. The Aliens...

Pros: Johnny Depp, Charlize Theron, a few sci-fi moments
Cons: SLOW, boring, basic, cliched

From the moment I saw the trailer I knew what to expect from this movie. Another cliched, sci-fi "thriller" that would be ultimately forgettable and get a slew of bad reviews. It was a given! And yet this is another piece of evidence for the...

Pros: Surprising ending
Cons: Johnny Depp as a blonde

My husband and I watched this movie on our "date night". This is a night where the kids go to bed early and we rent a movie and either order pizza or have sandwiches. On these nights we have to come to compromise and forgo the "chick...

Pros: beautiful camera work
Cons: lack of plot, often disjointed storyline

When I took my 13-year-old son to the video store so he could rent a movie last week, I thought to myself “What the heck—why don’t I get one to watch tonight, too?” I saw The Astronaut's Wife on the shelf in the video store and I chose to rent it....

Pros: Charlize Theron is always easy on the eyes.
Cons: Nothing else is.

My buddy rented this. Knowing his track record (his last pic was the snoozer Ninth Gate) I should have taken matters into my own hands....

Jonathan Depp (really, you're too old to still be called Johnny) is Spencer Armacost (what is it with...

Pros: The actors do their best with what they were given
Cons: The story is incomplete

That’s what I would like to know. The characters go through all this stuff, and the big question is, to what end? What is the point?

Johnny Depp plays astronaut Spencer, the wonderful and supportive husband of Charlize Theron’s Jill. Depp...

Pros: Even the sex scene is really, really creepy!
Cons: Just a few loose ends

Charlize Theron spends about the last half-hour of this movie trying to do what her character in "The Cider House Rules" did shortly after being introduced, and then, at absolutely the last possible second, changes her mind. Viewers are...

Pros: good acting
Cons: bad everything else

Yikes. That's all I can say about "The Astronaut's Wife". This is the first non-Burton Depp movie I have seen, and what I would say to Mr. Depp is Velcro yourself to that guy and never do anything without him. With that on the record, on...

Pros: Johnny Depp
Cons: Too many to itemize

I admit it up front; this movie is a total loss for anyone expecting any sort of quality entertainment. I can't really find too much fault with the cast. I mean, there was no overacting among the major roles, and acting restraint never descended into...
