This one’s a deep sea fever dream. A team of scientists, including Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone and Samuel L. Jackson, descend 1,000 feet below the ocean to investigate a mysterious alien sphere. What follows is part Event Horizon, part The Abyss and part “what if your worst thoughts came to life and tried to kill you?”
The cast is stacked, the sets are moody and claustrophobic and the tension builds like a pressure gauge about to blow.
The sphere itself? A shiny, golden enigma that reflects your fears and maybe your subconscious. Or maybe it’s just trolling everyone. Hard to say.
The plot spirals into psychological sci-fi territory, with reality bending, minds unraveling and a finale that feels like a philosophical shrug.
But there’s something hypnotic about it. It’s the kind of movie that doesn’t quite land but still sticks with you like a dream you half remember and can’t shake.
It flopped, sure. But it’s got that late 90's sci-fi charm: ambitious, weird and just self serious enough to be fascinating. And that cast? Worth it for the underwater banter alone.
