Sphere
Sphere is a movie that came out in 1998 about a spaceship that is discovered at the bottom of the ocean with 300 years of coral growth around it. A group of scientists, mathematicians, navy divers and a psychiatrist are sent down to check out the ship and look for alien life.
We decided to watch this tonight because I haven't seen it and Shy really likes the film. It didn't overly thrill me, in the end i found it rather lacking. Overall it wasn't a bad, i just wouldn't watch it over and over again. Its a one and done. I found it rather easy to pick apart and I was never drawn into the storyline.
**Spoilers**
The secret between Beth and Norman that they had a thing years before was just non thrilling and not a surprise.
The translation they came up with the translate the entity speaking to them through the computer was lame. A. they were able to translate way too quickly, B. when the entity's name was found wrong, all the translations would have been wrong not one letter.. Lame.
The fact that Harry had to be sleeping early on for the 'bad' things to be happening, but during the climax he was awake and freaking out was inconsistent.
Towards the end, when they are in the mini sub trying to escape but think they are some where else, why didn't that ever happen before.
At the end, how is it they can suddenly control this 'power' to remove the knowledge from their minds. Also just because they don't know they have manifestations doesn't mean they will go away.
Yea the little things are important and they bug me and only leave me with questions.
