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: Charlize is pretty!
Cons: Everything else.

This movie is so damn slow, I think I got younger as I watched it. What is it with these pretentious big-budget "thrillers"? Why are they so afraid to actually try and scare people? There was so little that went on, I was afraid I would have...

Pros: Well written
Cons: some scenes are weird looking

I watched this movie last night for the first time. I am so glad I didn't miss it. The ASTRONAUT'S WIFE stars Johhny Depp as Spencer and Charlize Theron as Jillian.

If you like a movie that keeps you on your toes until the end, this is the...

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...

Pros: Makes you wonder if something really is out there
Cons: If there is, they'll destroy the Earth in retaliation for this film

If "The Astronaut’s Wife" had been a ten minute short instead of a feature film, I would still have had time to take a nap and do the dishes without missing much of the plot. As it was actually a full length movie, I went ahead and rebuilt my...

Pros: I'm thinking . . . I'm thinking . . . .
Cons: Not enough space.

I wasn’t going to bother to do a review on this movie fearing I would get just as bored writing the review as I did watching the movie. But then I got curious about what others were saying and came here to Epinions to read some of their reviews....

Pros: Good cast and good acting
Cons: What happened, where is the ending.

Spencer Armacos (Johnny Depp) is an astronaut, with a great career and beautiful wife. Spencer is young and got everything going for him. He goes on one of many missions into space and his wife gets a message that something happened. There was an...

Pros: Exceptional actors
Cons: Everything else

While I enjoy and admire both main actors, Theron & Depp, this movie was a very sorry attempt to entertain. There seemed to be a great lack of development in the story with little information as to "what really happened" while the...

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: Depp and Morton
Cons: THE MOVIE SUCKS

With a title like "The Astronaut's Wife", you know you're not going to have a real winner on your hands. And yes, this movie does blow. Who does Rand Ravich (writer/director) think he is? He must have drugged Charlize and Johnny with some heavy...

Pros: Cinematography was GREAT!
Cons: The other epinions written about this movie.

Credits:
Director, Ravich Rand, Cinematographer Allen Daviau A.S.C. (American Society of Cinematographers)...his resume' includes E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, The Color Purple, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, as well as MANY others....

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: One more alien movie you won't have to see
Cons: One more alien movie you did see

As in . . . . . this movie was incredible if you like bad acting, ridiculous plots, and really irritating sound effects. I love all of those so of course I ate up every minute.

Obviously, I am attempting to use sarcasm to express my disgust...

Pros: Good looking actors, two minutes of action
Cons: The whole plot

I would rather watch Teletubies over this movie. The plot is shallow beyond belief, the characters are equally shallow and the only good thing going for the movie is Johnny Depp's good looks and Charlize Theron's Mia Farrow haircut.
