“The Astronaut’s Wife” Movie Review

“The Astronaut’s Wife” Plot Summary

A pair of shuttle astronauts leave their spacecraft to repair a satellite. There’s an explosion. NASA loses contact for two minutes… add synopsis

Quite good.

I actually enjoyed this film. Someone mentioned that it’s 95% setup and 5% payoff. Well, that’s what I liked about it. In fact, I could have done without the 5% payoff. We are told that *something* happened to the astronaut while he was in space. As long as this event is left unexplained, the audience is kept in the dark as to how the story will evolve. This is a blissful state of ignorance. It’s the same kind of Sci-Fi as ‘2001, A Space Odyssey’. Not in terms of the plot, but how the space is used solely to grasp the mystery and the incomprehensible and bring it to the screen. When it’s revealed what actually happened to the astronaut, the movie becomes weaker, but doesn’t fall apart completely.
