"The only excellence is in the acting, and even then the screenplay puts the characters through so many U-turns that dramatic momentum is impossible (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)" | ||||

"Somewhere out there, maybe there's a small cadre of film-goers who will appreciate Sphere's dubious charms, but I'm not among them." | ||||
"The script is muddled and unsatisfying" | ||||
"If you've ever wanted to see Queen Latifah fatally attacked by jellyfish at the bottom of the ocean, Sphere is the movie for you. If you're looking for more, you're not going to find it here." |
