Synopsis: Sphere (1998)

Synopis: When psychologist Norman Goodman (Dustin Hoffman) wrote a report for the government on how to deal with extraterrestrial life forces, he didn't expect his recommendations to be used. Now that a secret government agency is investigating what may be an alien spaceship that has been discovered partially buried on the floor of the Pacific Ocean, Norman finds that the plan he outlined is being put into effect and that the team he named in his report has been assembled. In addition to Norman, there is Harry Adams (Samuel L. Jackson), a mathematician; Ted Fielding (Liev Schreiber), a physicist; and Beth Halperin (Sharon Stone), a biochemist and Norman's old flame. Led by the secretive Barnes (Peter Coyote), the foursome undergoes a crash course in diving and living under the sea in a naval habitat and begins investigating the mysterious vessel, discovering a huge glowing sphere made of an unidentifiable substance with a shimmering, almost liquidlike surface. As the investigation continues, a series of strange, horrific events leads the team of scientists to doubt each other's sanity and motives. The film is based on the best-selling novel by Michael Crichton.

A very good movie, IMO. An intriguing movie with building suspense, the acting is great and character interaction is believable. Has a very well-written plotline, as do most of Michael Crichton's works (Jurassic Park), and this one was actually as good a movie as the book, unlike some more forgettable Crichton films (Congo). Again, highly recommended. May need to be watched twice to understand everything that occurred. ...

Absolutely forgettable. What happens? well i'd love to tell you but it has just clean slipped my mind, the reason I fear is because the movie is nothing but a big round blob of horse crap.
