: The Astronaut’s Wife
Author: Rand Ravich
Director: Rand Ravich
Bizarre film about an astronaut that goes out of contact with NASA for two minutes while on a mission — and comes back a different person. I never could figure out what a big deal being out of contact for two minutes was: the film has NASA rushing to get the wife immediately and is all in a panic. What’s the big deal? Doesn’t that happen all the time up in space? They should have explained the significance of that better. Anyway, it starts out well, and the relationship between Depp and Theron is explored, but soon it drops into a standard “space aliens ate my husband” film. The ending is kinda cool, with both expected and unexpected twists. Watch it for the stars, not the story.
