Michael Crichton’s intriguing page-turner SPHERE is watered down as a routine and expensive looking retread of better films like The Abyss. The cast isn’t terrible (save for a miscast Sharon Stone) but it’s not warranting the lengthy running time. Oddly the movie still seems choppy and edited haphazardly. A rare suspenseful scene consisting of an attack by an unseen giant squid does promise a change of pace. But that doesn’t happen. For Crichton completists only.
