Sphere (1998)

Synopsis: A group of scientists is summoned to investigate a strange ship found in the bottom of the ocean.

Appraisal (spoilers): The theme of wishes coming true in a secluded place has been tackled with in Lem's Solaris (and in two films from that novel). The approach here is different, this film is a thriller. But the result is very lame throughout, really painful to watch, totally unsatisfying from the science-fiction angle, and ridiculous from the dramatic one.

Note: I watched most of it with Portuguese dubbing.

Rating: 10

Note: I watched it again on September 14, 2018. Read the new review here.
