Review title: Worse than the sum of its parts
Product review: When I heard that they were going to make a movie based on the Crichton's novel Sphere, I wondered why they bothered. When I read the novel back in the early 80s, I thought the novel was a mess. There were stock horror scenes mixed with some interesting mysteries, and an extremely clumsy ending. The movie could not break that mold, despite some inventive scenes. At the end of movie, I had the "why bother" feeling so similar to that I had close to 20 years ago. The production value is very good though.
