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 Paulo 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!

I think we're all in agreement that "We should all forget the Sphere" Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Robin S Absolutely awful. Afterwards we sat around and counted to 3. Unfortunately we can still remember this film. Our consensus, "Worse than cat woman". Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Simon T The first thirty minutes are intriguing and suspenseful: although Hoffman is miscast and doing his mumbly gravel voice schtick. Barry Levinson is a strange choice for director, but makes a decent fist imitating James Cameron. The real problem is the shrill unoriginal script. Copying Alien, The Abyss and Solaris, and getting the likes of Sharon Stone and Samuel L. Jackson to mouth 'Oh my God!' every 3 minutes only sets one's teeth on edge. A shame, given what could have been made of a promising premise. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
