Review of The Astronaut's Wife (1999) by Miss. B — 22 Nov 2009

Good idea, with some good parts, but overall poor execution...so many cheesy lines and shots.

Right off the bat the one wife freaks out when they say they lost contact with them for 2 minutes after an explosion. "What does that mean?!?" She shrieks...well, he just told you they lost contact for two minutes...that's what it means. Overall, no one in this movie seemed to have any common sense. And the one guy that figured out what was happening was a crazy. And then the over the top dramatic shots, like when she's dropping the glass and it slowly drops to the ground and breaks...it just makes you roll your eyes. Then the ending with the children of the corn listening to their radios...not even Johnny Depp could save this one...
