    An interesting movie...a bit of a thrill...good acting, a little slow moving but a thoughtful storyline.

    I didn't really understand any of the events of the overblown and confusing third act. Then again, it's probably because the setip of the movie put me to sleep.

    Without question, the worst film I have ever seen. I viewed this at a dollar theatre and nearly requested a refund. The same 15 minute scene appears to be rehashed with a few minor changes in dialogue six times, followed by an inexplicable ending that, despite being heavily telegraphed throughout the film, is far too obtuse to be taken seriously. An absolute waste of a proven cast.

    Houston, we have a problem. It's called The Astronaut's Wife and it's an utterly predictable rip-off of classic '60s and '70s exercises in paranoia, from "Rosemary's Baby" to "The Parallax View."

    Could have been written by a computer programmed to cannibalize previous sci-fi films.

    Depp moves through the film suavely and imperturbably, never letting the particulars bog him down.
