Michael Crichton “Sphere“ 1998 movie - Jellyfish Attack Scene

Michael Crichton’s “Sphere” is the perfect Halloween entertainment that encompasses all qualities of a good scary thriller. Following the discovery of a spaceship in the depths of the ocean, scientists find their conception of extraterrestrial life is unlike anything they imagined. According to a Goodreads contributor Trudi, “a thriller should thrill. It should keep you turning the pages long into the night, white-knuckled and on the edge of your seat. Horror should unsettle and disturb you, compelling you to look over your shoulder and under the bed for that unnamed threat. Science fiction should challenge your concept of reality, bending your mind to what’s possible, to what could actually be. In ‘Sphere,’ Crichton is firing on all cylinders as a storyteller, accomplishing all three of these seemingly without any effort at all.” Synopsis: A group of American scientists are rushed to a huge vessel that has been discovered resting on the ocean floor in the middle of the South Pacific. What they find defines their imaginations and mocks their attempts at logical explanation. It is a spaceship of phenomenal dimensions, apparently, undamaged by its fall from the sky. And, most startling, it appears to be at least three hundred years old Clips courtesy Warner Bros.
