Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
As the umpteenth entrant in the We-Are-Not-Alone sweepstakes, Sphere feels awfully familiar because it is.
– Kenneth Turan,
Los Angeles Times,
14 Feb 2001
rotten:
Given its situational premise -- outer space goes underwater -- Sphere is filled with visual potential, yet Levinson can't tap it. He's just a whole lot more comfortable trying to tame the human software than the technical hardware.
– Rick Groen,
Globe and Mail,
12 Apr 2002
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.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
18 Jun 2002
rotten:
Three major stars being involved, it all wraps up happily but implausibly.

An empty shell.
