Review title: DVD 5,Special Effects 5, Plot 4, Movie 2!!
Product review: This movie starts off with an extremely fascinating plot: a vessel has been located 1000 feet down on the ocean floor; its very large - a fin alone is 100 feet tall; it has a perfect sphere inside.These items alone would give any competent film-maker the necessary material for a very good movie. Not-so the makers of Sphere.A great deal of the movie is spent dazzling the viewer with very good special-effects. An equal amount of time should have been spent including many of the dialogues, from Crichton's book, the crew has with the alien intelligence. As it is, the movie does drag. As compensation, of a sort, I did learn a lot about the toxic properties of marine life on the ocean floor, and thats worth something!The DVD picture is beautifully clear, and the 6 (uh...5.1) channels of digital sound will put your home-theater system, and your neighbors, through their paces.For a Science-fiction fanatic like myself it was okay. It should have been Great!! END
