The Astronaut's Wife

Rating:
Summary: Only Let-down is the Screenplay.
Review: Take "The Devil's Advocate", turn Satan into an Alien, make it a little more boring and you have "the Astronaut's wife". The film is great to look at, the cast are all great actors (though they don't all prove it here. You get the feeling that Johnny was saving his real skills for Sleepy Hollow). The Director proves he is Competant, the only let-down is the Screenplay. It takes far too long to get where it's going and when it finally makes it to the climax, it's over with in just over a minute. Other than that it is enjoyable enough and ... Charlize Theron looks stunning!

Summary: NOT AT ALL WHAT I EXPECTED!
Review: I don't usually make it a habit to write reviews about movies I can't stand - because the interest and enthusiasm just aren't there. However, for this movie, I'll make an exception! This movie is TERRIBLE! As someone else so eloquently put, I WISH I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO GIVE IT ONE STAR! It's draggy; the writing is dull; the characters might as well be made out of plastic; and it's not even scary or suspenseful in the least (and trust me, I'm someone who scares VERY easily)! What was with Johnny Depp's hair and accent? Pukesville. And what was with that woman's shorn head? Not attractive. Suffice it to say, I can't find a single good thing to say about this boring,ho-hum of a film. I can't even comment about the end, because I FELL ASLEEP! I'm just glad I rented the movie as opposed to buying it!

Summary: enjoyable enough
Review: Sometimes you should just forget the critics and watch a movie with an open mind and form your own opinion. That's what I did with this one. "The Astronauts Wife" is definately not the best movie I ever saw, but I didn't expect it to be. Charlize Theron was excellent in her role. The movie is sort of a modern day "Rosemary's Baby"; maybe not as perfect but the suspense and thrill is there. The interesting thing about this movie is the way it starts off sort of dull and ordinary, but the suspense broadens as the story rolls on. All in all, I enjoyed it.

Review: Not a good buy. I purchased it and watched it on a Sunday night. This movie got a lot of bad reviews from profesional critics and movie watchers, and I am afraid they may be correct. Overall I do not regret buying and watching this movie. Some movies are good, some not so good, and some are terrible, but how can you judge the good one from the bad one if you never see the bad ones, therefore give this movie a chance and you be the judge.

Summary: Could have been really good
Review: This film is a let-down, I like Johnny Depp and i usually think Charlize Therin is very hot and a good actress, in this film Depp is wasted and Charlize Therin, is very ugly looking(she looks really bad with the short-short hair)The plot insult's you A plot about aliens taking over Depp & another astronaut and impregnating their wives-Which is a total waste for the very pretty Donna Murphy who blows Charlize Therin away in her short scenes in this film. Instead of seeing Donna Murphy's charater impregnated(which would have made this film better)we are only told after she commits suicide, that she was impregnated by an alien, instead we see Therin get impregnated by Depp, and her Running around acting stupid and getting everyone killed for her ignorance. save your time, only rent to see Donna Murphy.Then turn it off after her character dies.

Summary: Not even worth one star.
Review: This is the most stupid, dumb, pathedic excuse for a movie in the history of Hollywood. I was excited when I rented it, only to be completely disappointed in such a pointless movie. The acting is bad, the storyline is completely dumb. The ending was horrible. My dad and I were disgusted after watching this. It wasn't even scary. My adice, don't take 2 hours of your valuable life to waste on this horrible excuse for a movie.

Summary: Astronaut's Descent...
Review: This film borders on insulting its viewers; TOO PREDICTABLE ! From gorgeous Charlize Theron's character as a frantic Mia Farrow rip-off out of Rosemary's Baby to the unhinged agent "who knows too much" and is either exiled or killed, this film did indeed waste the talent of these incredible actors.Charlize Theron is one of the few truly gifted actresses of today who is amazing at being able to turn on the waterworks (for those who have seen the movie, no pun is intended for the later confrontation between wife and astronaut)at the drop of a pin ! Depp plays an equally arrogant and hostile malevolent character to a great degree ( almost like his somewhat similar character in this year's The Ninth Gate); Depp's character has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It takes no degree in any kind of science to figure out that what she is carrying as twins could be a "menacing" force and that her astronaut husband is "not quite himself" since returning from the space mission. Once the two hour hysterics and ludricous conclusion is over, the viewer feels cheated !

Rating:
Summary: Truly a waste of plastic.
Review: This film is a waste of your life. Poor character development, no science, and the ending leaves you with not knowing what the point of the movie was. Your time is better spent elsewhere. Not even worth a dollar rental.

Summary: The best Sci-fic movie I've ever seen!
Review: Most viewers said this film was bad, but to me it was pretty good. I don't usually get sci-fic movies but I actually get this one. If you like horror, love, and space movies check this movie out. This movie is about a perfect all-American couple. Spencer Armocost (Depp)has died in space, then a life force take his body and his memory. NASA lost contact for two minutes and in space with the another astronaut contact them back. His goal to make his wife(Theron) pregant and he need his own kind to make a space ship from their design. ~~~~~I ACTUALLY GIVE IT 4.5 STARS!~~~~~

Summary: Well-thought of plot, but acting makes it terrible.
Review: What in the world is wrong with Hollywood these days? If this is what filmmaking is coming to, I'm afraid of what the future holds. There is nothing good to say about The Astronaut's Wife, except that it succeeds in flopping majorly due to the emotionless acting and flat dialogue. Johnny Depp with a southern accent? Please. Another aspect to look at is the absence of chemistry between Depp and Charlize Theron. Not only do their words have no meaning, but they sound forced and consigned. There is not one scene in this movie that will convince you that these two people are truly happily married. The emotional meaning in this film is about as astounding as Johnny Depp's southern drawl. Don't get me wrong: this movie could've been a brilliant cinema had the acting not totally sabotaged it to nothing. The DVD is a winner, though, if you want to waste time and money on this flopper.
