The Astronaut’s Wife (1999)

When astronaut Johnny Depp acts strangely after his return from space, his wife Charlize Theron worries about what happened while he was away and what that means for the twins she’s suddenly expecting. The tension feels quite forced as little bread crumbs are dropped throughout and never picked up. I’d hoped for more actual horror from the film and some chemistry between the two leads who are both surprisingly bland. Theron’s character makes stupid decisions throughout and her weird eyebrows are distracting. A more energetic, underused Joe Morton comes in for a short while to pull Theron along the right path, but he quickly disappears and the film is worse for it.  SciFi  Thriller
