Review of Sphere

Sphere (1998)
7/10
Dry Sci-Fi action/drama
24 May 2004
A seemingly random team of professionals are called together to investigate a mysterious spacecraft at the bottom of the ocean.

The premise behind this movie is excellent, but I feel it didn't go as deep as it could have. The namesake sphere seems almost to be a secondary character in the movie - so much more could have been done.

Surprisingly, the high caliber actors in this movie didn't put out their usually high quality performances. It feels as though they learned their lines the night before and didn't put much emotion behind their parts.

Still, lacking so many things, this movie holds a strange appeal to me. It has a high level of intrigue and mystery that keeps me interested.
