SPHERE
You know you’re in for something weird when a psychoanalyst (Dustin Hoffman again) is the leader of a team of scientists sent to explore the mystery of a 300 year old spacecraft wreckage 1,000 feet under the Pacific. This confusing tale was written by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park and ER), who reshuffles all the alien movie clichés.
Shrink Hoffman is joined by biologist Sharon Stone, mathematician Samuel L. Jackson and astrophysicist Liev Schreiber. The monster is a shimmering, seamless gold sphere which holds the power to make real the imagining powers of those who enter it.
This allows filmmaker Barry Levinson (again) to conjure all the monsters the cast can imagine. The ultimate point seems to be that humans aren’t yet evolved to the point where they can use their imaginative powers for good instead of horror. Sadly, the movie is proof of its own point. Not recommended.
