SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Aaron1375 Me and my fiance saw this listed on Vudu and the summary of the film made it sound interesting and the two stars made the film sound promising. Unfortunately, despite the stars and despite the promising premise, this film failed to really work for me. It as interesting enough to keep me watching as I was curious to see how the film would pull off the reveal (because you just know this one was going to have a reveal), but the climax failed miserably making me fee like I had wasted precious time watching this film rather than doing something a bit more productive. The story has an astronaut played by Johnny Depp going on a mission where something goes wrong. Not sure what exactly, as they kept saying an explosion and that Spencer (Depp) and another astronaut were out of contact and adrift for two minutes. Well, they return home and get welcomed back as heroes, but something seems wrong with the other astronaut and he soon passes away. His wife would later commit suicide. Charlize Theron plays Jillian who is married to Spencer and the film revolves around her trying to discover what exactly did happen in those two minutes that the two astronauts were left stranded in space. She begins to feel her husband is acting differently and soon she finds out she is pregnant with twins. The film is a bit of a combination of Rosemary's Baby and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but it really did not work. The climax just felt stupid as Jillian in the end may as well just went with the flow and stayed married to her alien husband considering what occurs at the end. Seriously, what did she think would happen? She should have just offed herself, because even if Spencer had died and the alien not get into her she still would have given birth to alien offspring! So, not a really good movie even though it did feature two excellent actors in the lead roles. The storytelling did not work here and neither did the plot which did have promise, but was foolishly squandered trying to be different while obviously copying a copious amount of films. I almost wish the ending to this one featured us learning that Jillian was crazy as that would have actually been a bit more interesting in my mind.

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.

Eddie DuckSoupe I found this story riveting. Well worth watching; of course I am a fan of him and his cutting edge rolls. You soon catch on something is wrong. I will not spoil it for you; but keep strict attention and be your own detective on what's not right.The actors are well fitted for the roles and I think proper attention was given to picking them for the roles. It was made in 1999 and they are all younger.I cannot say there was never a moment when you are not enthralled with the story as it unwinds.Being not only a Depp fan and also a buff on science fiction and horror flicks I picked this one to watch out of a dozen offered.Depp is a character actor in the purist sense. This means he learns and adapts to his role.Remember to add this flick to your bucket list to watch.

Johan Dondokambey The movie opens up quite slowly, showing the background quite well but not really building up for the main conflict's happening time. So the main conflict's happening of an explosion in space and the two minute radio silence doesn't really come as strong as it's intended to be. The story goes on well enough, building it's mystery elements well by revealing bit by bit of Spencer's peculiarity. Yet again, the finale conflict doesn't come strong. But I do like the twist at the end, opening up chances for future sequels or sort. Charlize Theron nailed almost all of the scenes well. She didn't perform well enough for me on the scenes where she was about to take the pills. But she did get into character well, as Johnny Depp did. He really can get into character well, although I should say that there's not much room for him due to the screenplay is not being detailed enough about his character.
