This film basically covers 'The Abyss' territory, minus that film's awe. Here Sharon Stone poses and tries hard to show emotion, but nothing comes through. Dustin Hoffman extends his 'Outbreak' performance, while Samuel L. Jackson at least has a showy role. The Sci-Fi plot, if you do follow, is intriguing. But this film is way too complicated for it's own good. How Barry 'Rain Man' Levinson ended up directing this is anyone's guess. I gave it an IMDb '5', for decent Sci-Fi + good effects - so so acting and plot. Is this one of Sharon Stone's worst performances?
