well im not very good at summaries..so i went and got u one right here..its kind of long but its very good..so here you go
They were the perfect all-American couple - a courageous, honored NASA astronaut (Johnny Depp) and his beautiful school-teacher wife (Charlize Theron). They were passionately in love, so connected they could sense each other even when he was floating in space and she was two hundred thousand miles below. And in two minutes it all turned to inexplicable terror.
For two minutes, astronaut Spencer Armacost loses total consciousness while on a bold space shuttle mission, returning home just barely alive and a bewildered hero. The President, the nation and his friends celebrate his safe return, but to his wife Jillian something seems strangely amiss from the moment he returns to earth.
Though very much in love with her husband, Jillian cannot help but question what happened to him out there in the lonely vacuum of space and whether it has changed him - and their marriage -- in some profound way. Especially when she begins having strangely violent dreams; dark, paranoid thoughts; and the strangest sensation that her husband is not the lover, or the man, he used to be. Things only get worse when Spencer's partner in space, Alex Streck (Nick Cassavetes), and his wife Natalie (Donna Murphy) experience their own mysterious ends.
Turning from a NASA career to a lucrative rocket-designing job in the private sector, Spencer and Jillian move to a lavish new apartment in Manhattan. Soon after, Jillian finds out she is expecting - and in keeping with the increase of her new life, she is expecting twins. But something is not quite right with this dream pregnancy, either. As her pregnancy advances, Jillian descends into a nightmare. Is it just pre-partum hormonal craziness, or is there something terribly wrong with Jillian's husband and babies? Is she just paranoid or is there really a conspiracy between Spencer, her doctors and even her closest family and friends to keep her in the dark? And is it just an embittered former NASA employee's (Joe Morton) fantasy, or is she really carrying inside her the end of humanity as we know it?
The Astronaut's Wife is a haunting love story of psychological horror that rides the razor's edge between imaginary terrors and the heart-stopping real thing. The film stars Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron as a loving couple torn asunder in a moment of extraterrestrial mystery. A New Line Cinema presentation, the film is written and directed by Rand Ravich.

No, it's not creepy TuR. It's awesome! Fabulous film... You may jump a bit ....but I wouldn't classify it as creepy or scary. As for my summary... it will be brief since my mum needs me upstairs... but There is Spencer Armacast who is married to Jill and they are in love ...he is an astronaut and he goes up to space.... their mission launch looses contact with the oustide world for a few moments.... and Spencer is taken over by and alien. Jill slowly begins to unfold the facts as to what has happened... and well if I say much more I'll probably ruin it. MUST SEE! Very romantic Johnny
