- A really tense and captivating Crichton novel- A top cast - Dustin Hoffman, S. L. Jackson, Sharon StoneYet a pretty mediocre movie.Why did it fail?
People don’t like movies set underwater.
>>217383476Starts super interesting and drops it on the third act
>>217383476That fucking nigger.
>>217383672The last third of the book has a scene, in which Beth (Sharon Stone) is tanning naked under some lamps.I bet that would have created word of mouth.
>>217383476Too smooth compared to the edgy action of cube.
>>217383476its shperical, spherical!
>>217383476It's weird that when it was on HBO it had one version of the ending and when it was on NBC it had a different version of the ending. Dunno why they did that
>>217383476I really dug it as a teen. Also Liev Schreiber was in it.
>>217383476>>217383861step aside boys
>>217383889They filmed multiple endings?
>>217383476It's one of my favourite movies
>>217383928>Liev Schreiber was in itIs that good or bad? I am not privy to the general sentiment towards him here.Was it a good thing in 1998?He played the astrophysicist well, in comparison to the novel character.
