Reviews for The Astronaut's Wife
Take this as hard evidence that movies without advanced showings will not always be totally worthless.
If the movie is a disaster on the writing and directing levels, at least most of the performances are strong and effective, and on a technical level, it is often impressive.
This flick should have been put on a garbage payload and jettisoned into orbit before it reached theaters.
Makes the most of the shopworn material, delivering quiet chills and a genuinely eerie atmosphere.
