MovieCraz I know this movies' been out a long time, but I saw it last night for the first time. I came into it wary after seeing the reviews it'd gotten here on IMDb, and I almost didn't watch it- but I'm glad I did.The film starts off typical; astronaut is leaving for an orbital mission in space and his wife is of course worried and distressed. But during and after he comes back from his mission, that's when things get interesting. As it progresses the movie starts to become a psychological thriller and continues to slowly build up until I was holding my breath, eyes wide on the edge of my seat, calculating how this movie would or could end. It becomes clear that there are two different paths to choose: The astronaut is really a dangerous alien who's impregnated the astronaut's wife with alien spawn, or his wife is crazy and paranoid. Either way, it made for a scary scenario.The main cast is brilliant; Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron blend so well together. (and WOW are they young in this movie!) Both actors' acting is great but I think Charlize came out shining in this one. She MADE me believe she was in agony, inwardly and outwardly, over the situation. I felt her pain, which is hard to do. The script is decent, the camera-work well-shot, and the atmosphere: tense. I really thought it was astronomical. (pun intended)The only negative thing I have to say is that the ending sort of leaves you to your own imagination. Maybe you like that, but for me, I like closure.Parents, please don't let your child watch this movie. I don't think anyone under 12 or 13 should watch it. There is a major, violent sex scene, sex themes throughout, violence, death, (shown) suicide, murder, and attempted self-abortion via pills. I personally skipped the major sex scene, cringed at the suicide, and was disturbed at the attempted abortion. So once again, when it comes to children, approach with care. Maybe watch it before them and determine for yourself whether they should or shouldn't watch it. I hope you have appreciated my review. Please leave a like if it was helpful and go look at my other reviews! Thanks!

lorj The plot of the movie is not good, however the cinematography is alright. Charlize Theron plays a sympathetic character and I thought she was the force that kept the energy in the film going. Johnny Depp has done better films (What's Eating Gilbert Grape) and I felt that he was wasted in this flick. The ending of the film was a major let down the first time I saw this film. I also thought the supposed twist at the end was an extra let down. I think the movie would have been better if the first half had stayed the same but lose the second half. The special effects were decent. I felt like this movie was an attempt at being "Rosemary's Baby." However Rosemary's Baby is a hard to mimic film. No actress can imitate Mia Farrow. Roman Polanski (despite his personality flaws and scandals) was a terrific director. In my opinion, I felt the director was trying to summon the same edginess from Rosemary's Baby for this film.

Missallen1234-196-350433 This movie had a lot of the common Hollywood formulas that would make any movie successful: a lot of sex, violence and death, attractive actors, even the magic Negro (Google it).However, it was lacking tremendously in certain areas. The acting was deplorable. I was shocked when I found out that Johnny Depp was commander Spencer. The storyline was awkward and the sex scenes were super awkward. The only positive thing I have to point out was the camera work. The soundtrack was strange too. They could have done so much better, but I could tell this was a relatively low budget film. Not anything I'll be looking at again.

wdllofzepia From about half way through, where the film should have been more and more exciting, it felt more and more like a drama about an abused wife. There were gaps in the story, or at least I saw them as gaps. There were story bits which didn't make much sense to me. I can't decide if the acting was bad or just the lines/story. In a thriller or sci-fi in general, you are expected to see things which are not exactly realistic. But when they get to point where they become strong plot points which don't make any sense, then the game is lost.At least the ending was cool, not perfect, but cool.With small changes here and there, the movie could have been much better, but it's not.I give it a 6 out of 10 because it had some good moments (including great acting by the supporting cast) and I believe the heart of the makers was at the right place.
