THE NASHVILLE I Sphere's actually a pretty good but digestable sci-fi ride. The plot's definitely unique and not derivative of other sci-fi flicks, with a great and balanced cast of personalities. The movie though does cut out a signficant amount of meat from the book, and viewers will likewise probably notice the movie feels noticeably inconclusive. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review Eric R Great psychological thriller set in a truly freaky place, under the ocean. The bad reviews are just a bunch of people who are too closed minded to realize what they were watching. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Jeffery N I saw this movie in the theater, and I've watched it a couple times a year every year since then. I love this movie. It's got everything you could want from a great movie. It's got a great story, great cast, the cinematography is top notch, it's brilliantly directed, and the score is amazing. I think it's only problem is that it doesn't try to reinvent the genre. This seems to be fine for mob movies, or horror films, but for science fiction people seem to expect that every film will change the genre forever. I thought this was a great film that gripped me from start to finish. I don't know what else you could expect from a film.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Blu B The editing isn't good at all. It legit feels like stuff just happens to each different crew member and a lot of it is forgettable. The music is boring, generic, and forgettable. That's probably the best thing about this ebcause everything else is just flat out bad. Which is a shame given there is a ton of production value here with set design and underwater effects. The direction is so careless. It just feels lifeless or just like the director just doesn't care at all. The biggest problem of all though? The dialouge....good god..the lines in this are flat out terrible. It is just nothing but plot expose and more plot expose in a boring emotionless tone save for Jackson. Everyone is so lifeless and dull with no chemistry and no one acts like how a normal person does. The dialouge just tanks it though. It is legit nonstop plot expose CONSTANTLY including summariizng what we just saw or explaining how a character felt or meant because were to stupid. This film is arguably a poster child for "modern" dialouge pitfalls the past 30 years. Than the actual story itself is just...what the heck dude. There's no rules in this. The sphere can just do pretty much anything it wants and it's so poorly executed it tries to explain itself out of it. The "twist" is stupid, the other characters deaths aren't even entertaining, and the 20,000 leagues reveal is so farfetched on top of the sphere can help them forget at will at the end like....dude there's legit no rules. And it just becomes a slog to listen to, watch, and you just get fed up with the nonsense. and it tries taking itself soooo seriously too with just ridiculus over the top farfetched stuff. And yet it's so boring at the same time. Skip This. Can't believe the guy who made the Natural did this. Want a better underwater alien movie? Watchthe Abyss instead. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Paul S This is one of my favorite science-fiction films. The visuals were great, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Some parts of the story could have been told better, but it was not enough to make me dislike the movie. I definitely recommend it!
