Gareth T Spoiler Alert!! Space craft is discovered on the sea floor that been there 300 years, team of scientists enter said spacecraft and find fresh footprints on the floor- missed opportunity to add to the tension but story goes nowhere... 2 of the scientists finding the spacecraft's bridge finding a very old dead person and ships log so what do they do as scientists they look at the last log entry... which tells them it was a unknown event, and then they do nothing further, I'm not a scientist but if it was me I'd be looking through every log entry to get more answers, however these scientists don't seem to have any clue about anything including logical decision making!! And this is nub of the entire film... childlike decisions throughout from apparently some of the best scientific minds of the time. The whole thing makes no sense and descends into something low budget, A-list actors in a movie with a B-list if not C-list story. Do yourself a favour if you want something that is actually entertaining and is along the same theme, go watch Event Horizon!! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/08/24 Full Review Willian M This movie is phenomenal. Something unidentified that makes dreams, desires and thoughts come true. This film only reinforces the thesis that humans are self-destructive and that is why the heavenly Father has forbidden any profane knowledge that exists to fall into human hands. I really like this type of movie. Recommended.

Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/10/23 Full Review Jack O When it comes to Barry Levinson doing a film based on a novel by Michael Crichton when they did Disclosure which is a box office success, Sphere was a downfall but this is not the first time that the film from Warner Bros in 1998 did bomb at the box office. Fallen became the first bomb that year but aside from that, those film by that studio'll get a cult following. Now that Sphere came into my attention even though that I've been thinking about that it's scary and boy, was I right. Considering the fact that it's a sci-fi psychological thriller with a few scares. A team of experts, four doctors, Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone, Samuel L. Jackson and Liev Schreiber and a U.S. Navy Capt., Peter Coyote are assembled and taken to the Habitat near the spacecraft which is been there for nearly 300 years. Norman believes there's been a plane crash but later said there was no plane crash and Barnes said it's a spacecraft crash through underwater. So they got the Habitat, went underwater to look inside the ship and they found a sphere inside it. OK, so I don't mind this movie as such. It's just not as not as good as I thought it would been. It has it's moments like when after Harry went inside the sphere and wakes up, he eats the squid which he hates and then he started choking it out and the scene where the Habitat is on fire caused by an alien intelligence from the sphere "Jerry". They realise that Jerry is able to see and hear everything that happens on the Habitat. Of course the film had some scares like I said and yeah I found it to be an okay film so I guess that's it for me. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review Tammy H The effects are great in this movie. The problem with this movie was the storyline was not that good. It will pass the time for you if you have nothing else to watch. Stars Dustin Hoffman, Samuel L. Jackson, Sharon Stone and Liev Schreiber. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/24/23 Full Review Michael E You know, if this website is teaching me anything, it's that sometimes it's not worth listening to reviews. I've seen this movie several times, and does it have its flaws? Of course. But it's still one of the most chilling films in my memory. Do yourself a favor, ignore the rating, give it a watch, and form your own opinion. Better yet: I just learned it's based on a book. I'm off to read / listen to that, too!
