Reviews

The New Yorker - Unnamed
Levinson is terrific at claustrophobia. In fact, this doesn't resemble any of his previous films so much as it does his gripping TV series, "Homicide."
60
The New York Times - Elvis Mitchell
While this is no quick-witted treat on a par with Mr. Levinson's ''Wag the Dog,'' it's a solid thriller with showy scientific overtones.
40
Washington Post - Desson Thomson
Keeps you hanging on until the very last moment, not because it's scary, but because you can't believe that's all there is to it.
40
Austin Chronicle - Russell Smith
Don't trust the impression created by Sphere's intriguing trailers that it has much to do with the awe and terror of direct contact with an advanced alien intelligence.
38
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
A watered-down take on the sci-fi classic "Solaris," by Stanislaw Lem, which was made into an immeasurably better film by Andrei Tarkovsky.
