Sphere Ratings & Reviews
- pipanni11 maart 2026The cast is great, but the story is a bit unfocused. It starts out nicely but fizzles on the last 30 minutes or so. I personally would like the movie to have more sci-fi and less delving into human psyche. Some memorable scenes though, and interesting ideas.
- Mairi Krausse24 december 2025Very plausible story, and well played.
- LPCSTR13 mei 2025Epic SciFi. If you liked Event Horizon or space horror, then this one is definitely for you.
- Alexander Doughty10 juli 2025A top notch movie that felt right at home with the amount of thrill and suspense it grabs you with. Would recommend it to anyone who’s never seen it before. I’m a fan of 80’s and early 90’s sci-fi. 5/5 would watch again.
- Richard9 november 2025This 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.
- BarsNoHooks1 november 2025A solid 3.5/5! Good sci-fi horror + Good cast = A Good Movie.
- Alyxandor7 december 2025Classic sci-fi thriller set deep under the ocean. Great movie all around!
- benla833 november 2025Cinematic masterpiece
- flani398 september 2025Good 80s style sci-fi movie lots of stars original plot at that time
- Chris4 september 2025Better than its reputation, but the ending feels a bit deus ex machina.
- Arthas Menethil3 september 2025I love Michael Crichton novels but this wasn't it. Boring as a Novel and Movie as Well...
- Peter Bickford21 augustus 2025A great concept, rendered a bit silly by the details of the script, with frankly preposterous casting of Samuel L. Jackson as a mathematician and others including Queen Latifah and Peter Coyote left shouting wildly in an effort to make the whole thing look plausible. One only imagines what a better director would have done with the material.
- GnomeSlice10 maart 2025Spooky, thrilling sci-fi.
- David McCumber16 juli 2025You'll wanna forget you seen it. It's an OK movie.
- ivan.her711 juli 2025Always a favorite
