Sphere
Sphere is a 1998 film, a science fiction thriller directed by Barry Levinson and starring Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone, Samuel L. Jackson, Peter Coyote, and Liev Schreiber. Reviews were generally negative, but I enjoyed it. It's not typical and has a lot to offer both in terms of enjoyment and in providing something to think about; but having seen it once I won't go back to it again.

Although Michael Crichton is one of my favorite authors, I was disappointed with this film. Like you, once was enough. I saw it on TV, and although it was OK, I felt there were subtle, yet negative differences between the film and the movie. So glad you reviewed a movie I've actually seen!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't read the book, so I might have liked the movie less if I had. I haven't read much Crichton.
DeleteI saw this way back when. I didn't think it was a terrible movie, but was okay. Good actors were what carried it. Yes--once was just fine, though. ;)
ReplyDeleteGood actors, yes, I think you're right. That's what made it watchable for me.
DeleteI remember this film. Its been awhile. I can't remember whether I liked it or not, so maybe since I can't remember it that much its wasn't that memorable or outstanding to me. I guess I need to rewatch it. happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteSome movies stick with me, and some don't. Sometimes I re-watch a movie I don't remember and am pleasantly surprised, while other times I realize why I didn't remember it ;)
