sorry but.....I LOVE THIS MOVIE!


contrary to practically everything i read stating the opposite, I think this movie is great! good writing, AMAZING ACTING....scary enough to achieve fright without even showing the monster (which scared me the most)....

so many good twists in the film...

my favorite theme was the titles...each title short (THE (one word))....and scarier with each title...when the titles "The Sphere" and "The Monster" came on...holy *beep* i crapped my pants! just from the title! now THATS effectiv psychological horror!

I loved the book before the movie was ever made, and I love the movie also. It follows the book reasonably well for what you can accomplish in a 2 hour movie. I'm not sure why it's rated so poorly...the music is pure win across the board, and really helps make the movie what it is. It also has the best actor commentary of any DVD I have :)

Yes, I also loved this one. I read a book to, but in this case i even think that the movie was better. It had much more suspense. It shows that if we could have whatever we desire in a second, we would create hell on earth, because our mind is so twisted. A scary thought. In one sense this movie reminded me of that documentary the secret

Yeah it wont win any oscars but cmon it wasnt that bad. should be atleast a 6 i think. But I like sci fi. and dustin hoffman and sameul jackson cant be too bad.

reply

Yeah......it makes no bones about what it is........it is categorized as a sci-fi thriller and it sci-fi, no doubt, and thrills as well.

There seems to be a trend around here that any movie that requires them to actually watch and pay attention to, without having the story laid out in the simplest way possible & makes them have to "think", gets hated the most. And there's a ton of trolls lurking and craving attention with nothing else better to do. I mean you can see the same stupid thread on almost every board for almost every movie; "worst movie ever", blather, blather and, blather. Write something stupid and you're pretty much guaranteed to get attention...I guess it gets lonely when you're intellectually challenged so any attention's better than none. It's annoying but we should try to ignore those ones....and obviously not everyone is going to like the same things, either. I usually watch movies first before I come over here to read about them, because then I have my own uninfluenced and unspoiled opinion.

Sphere has a few problems in the science department, mostly with the black hole theory and I didn't like it the first time I saw it, but I gave it another chance and actually ended up liking it very much! 8/10





wooOOooo

Despite some deviations from the novel, Sphere is a well made scifi/psychological thriller.

Recently bought the blu ray disc and gave it a spin, looks great!
