Sphere....

[SailNaked]

I watched Sphere on netflix, semi entertaining movie, but I thought it was interesting that they called there dive gear a "rebreather" when it was obviously open circuit. big square box on their backs and bubbles leaving their lighted helmets and a gauge console running out under the whole mess, no fins, they ran on the bottom???? (lead shoes?) where was this filmed? looked like pacific Jelly fish in one scene.

Any way as far as a review, interesting twist on the time travel issue, would have liked to see the giant squid or at least one of its arms or something.

Semi closed rebreather maybe? I forget, what year was that movie made?

I think I saw it once, but remember reading the book years back...

The book was published in 1987, the movie is from 1998. From the book, I have the impression that they are using rebreathers, and breathing trimix.

It's been a while since I saw the movie and even longer since I read the book. I do recall thinking that the movie was a very disappointing adaptation.
