Astronaut's Wife

Pros: Cinematography and sets are perfect for a cospiracy thriller
Cons: The plot contains no thrills

“The Astronaut’s Wife” aims to be a sci-fi thriller with at least one good “gotcha” to make conspiracy buffs squeal with delight as they leave the theater, checking their dates for any observable signs of an alien presence. The key words here are “aims...

Pros: Had a lot of good ideas
Cons: Nothing consistant...tended to drag, nothing was explained.

I really wanted to see this movie. We had just gotten a DVD player and I was excited to view this on it. I enjoy Charlize and think Depp is extremely talented.

What a waste. The thing that truly bothered me about this movie was the fact that...

Pros: At least the film delivers some plot.
Cons: Cold, lifeless acting and script. Premise behind this movie doesn't make any sense.

Spencer Armacost (Johnny Depp) and Alex Streck (Nick Cassavettes) are American astronauts who have a scary experience -- while on a space walk, an explosion cuts them off from the rest of humanity for two minutes. When they return home, both are in rough...

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: Held My attention and good acting
Cons: ending already guessed at the beginning

This movie held my attention from the beginning. The acting was very well done. Although, I was somewhat disappointed with this movie, it turned out to be a good Sunday afternoon rental.

It was a cross between The Exorcist, The Alien,...

Pros: i don't know
Cons: i don't know

I really enjoyed this movie. It kept you on the edge of your seat the whole time. This movie reminds me of The X Files because it was in that kind of theme. I would suggest if you liked this movie that you should see, The Sixth Sense, The X...

Pros: It has a plot...
Cons: ... but it doesn't have a fast pace.

The Astronaut's Wife (1999, R)

As Reviewed by James Brundage (MovieKritic2000)

Unlike the majority of summer films, The Astronaut's Wife has plot. In fact, it almost drowns in plot. What it lacks in is pace.

It does...

Pros: Depp and Theron, plus a cool alien noise.
Cons: A plot about as interesting as C-Span.

One of my roommates rented this movie, so we watched it. I have always been a Johnny Depp fan, and still am. However, this movie pales in comparison to Depp's usual choices for work. Basically if any of you have seen any movie from the lovely...

Pros: None
Cons: The whole movie

I have discovered the cure for insomnia.

"The Astronaut's Wife" is so dull and insipid; I could barely stay awake to watch it all. What a disappointment, and what a waste of Johnny Depp's talent.

The movie is about an...

Pros: One erotic scene and two or three startles (if you're into those!)
Cons: Only one erotic scene and two or three startles (if you're into those!)

If you've seen the previews to The Astronaut's Wife, you've essentially seen the film. However, you save a great deal of time watching only the previews and only miss a few seconds of surprises.

Johnny Depp is an astronaut. While I've never...

Pros: The Actors
Cons: Should of been longer

It starts out where two astronauts are in space trying to repair a satellite and for two minutes NASA loses contact with them and what happened in those two minutes is discovered later.

Both the wives of these men are called in to NASA. Not...

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: Good performances by Theron and Depp
Cons: Rehashed role for Theron, and too many questions go unanswered

THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE

Gener: Thriller/sci-fi
Rating: R
Running time: 100 minutes

Charlize Theron has remarkable screen presence, as well as being able to deliver fine performances. It is...

Pros: Charlize
Cons: the plot the action the length ,,etc

Well it seems to me that you have more than enough bad opions on this movie but if you really want another one,,,i shall not fail you now,,,this movie was BAD!! really bad...wheres the plot?? wheres the end?? wheres the hero??? this is a soap opera or...

Pros: Good mystery
Cons: Wasn't popular at the box office

I just saw this last night because there aren't any good movies to rent so i just saw a description of this one, and decided to try it. I think it was a good idea. Basically, a man (Johnny Depp) leaves his wife (Charlize Theron) to go to outerspace. He...
