Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: An empty shell.
Rotten: As the umpteenth entrant in the We-Are-Not-Alone sweepstakes, Sphere feels awfully familiar because it is.
Rotten: Sphere winds up just a load of balls.
Rotten: The ending, though emotionally satisfying, collapses under scrutiny. This lack of payoff is a real flaw in a film pitched to a discriminating sci-fi mentality.
Customer Reviews
The limit is only five stars!
This movie goes off the charts. Its a great movie, but the book is better. I still love it!
Been waiting for this..
I get chills watching this movie. It is SO good! I cannot write a review to do it justice. You just have to see it. I am so happy it has finally been added to iTunes too.
A yawner with poor casting
The book was great, the movie not so much. Dustin Hoffman and Sharon Stone were really poor choices for these roles. They obviously needed the camera on them and it detracted from the rest of the movie. Too much emphasis on talk and not enough on the surroundings.
