THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE (1999)

RAND RAVICH

Plot

A curious little sci-fi number this, described by some as an intergalactic "Rosemary's Baby". Spaceman Johnny Depp, while on an exploratory flight, loses contact with mission control for two minutes after encountering an unclassifiable lifeform. Completing the mission without further mishap, all seems well, but back on earth, Depp's wife Charlize Theron notices something not quite right about him. When she falls pregnant, her concerns turn to fear and paranoia when hubby starts taking an unnaturally protective interest in the twin babies she's carrying.
