"The Astronaut" is a somewhat predictable but nonetheless entertaining, sci fi, horror thriller. Its our personal perception of reality and threat that this film subverts and finally turns on its head, that makes it work. What we think of as familiar and alien, as safe and unsafe, are not what th ... ey appear to be. Its these core concepts that this film plays with, developing a story that's creepy, atmospheric and psychologically unsettling. On the downside, for veteran viewers, the story may be a little predictable. I'd worked out what was happening about two thirds of the way through. That said, newcomers, with a fresh set of eyes, may still enjoy the final "reveal". In summary, whilst not overly original what "The Astronaut" offers up is a sense of displaced reality, and threat, that's quite compelling. Worth a look.
