Description

Academy Award and Golden Globe-nominees Johnny Depp ("Pirates of the Caribbean," franchise, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory") and Academy Award and Golden Globe-winner Charlize Theron ("Monster," "The Italian Job") star as the perfect all-American couple--astronaut Spencer Armacost and his beautiful schoolteacher wife--so passionately in love they can sense each other even while he floats in space and she is two hundred thousand miles below. But in two minutes it all turns to inexplicable terror. For two minutes, Armacost completely loses consciousness while on a space mission, returning home just barely alive. His wife senses something amiss from the moment he lands on earth. She begins to have strangely violent dreams--dark, paranoid thoughts--and the sensation that her husband is not the lover, or the man, he was.

    The Astronauts wife is funny for a few reasons. First is that while the acting is pretty good especially in the last third, Charlize Theron is mostly just repeating her role from The Devils Advocate. Not a bad thing but I couldn't help but laugh because of the similarities. Second The story is interesting but slow and will lose a lot of people with its pacing. Third is the main problem with the film is the divisive ending. It's ok, but making the ending more ambiguous would have made the film in its entirety better. The movie is worth watching if it's on cable, only rent if you are a huge fan of the two leads, otherwise just wait.
  • Not a great movie, but...

    if you want to have a few laughs, watch this back to back with Trancendence. It’s almost as if they reworked the plot of this movie and made it work.
  • AMAZING!
