I love that you say round thing instead of sphere
Bro! I actually lol'd. :)
Since nobody explained it:
The helium in their breathing gas serves to reduce nitrogen narcosis and oxygen poisoning that occurs when breathing air under higher pressures (4-6 bar). Helium itself has a much smaller effect than oxygen and nitrogen on the human body since it's an inert gas. Using breathing gases with added helium (or hydrogen in extreme cases) has allowed technical divers to reach depths far below the -40 meters maximum that is recommended for compressed air.
Thank you for pointing out these facts.
I saw Galaxy of Terror before this.
There, it was not a Sphere. But a Pyramid. It too had the ability to make one's fear's come to life.
Friggin' shapes man....they out to get us.
There were so many things about this movie that disappointed me as a tween (I was a huge Michael Crichton dork at the time). The biggest one was probably the lack of real giant squid visuals (even an eye in the window would be nice), and how they handled the "code" plot point. In the movie they actually screw up how the spiral code works so you get something like "HAZZY" if you work out what they have onscreen. Also Harry deliberately mistranslates his name as Jerry by hand in the book and it's clear that he's making it say Jerry otherwise. If they did automate the translation on the computer like in the movie with "H" as the wrong letter, the message would read "JELLO. JOW ARE YOU. I AM FINE. WJAT IS YOUR NAME? MY NAME IS JERRY."
I did love the score and the opening credits look really cool.
That would also make all the “A”s appear as “E”s
I'm dyslexic, so I never noticed that about the H/J mistake, you are absolutely right, it would have been "jello, jow are you"
The squid did show up in person in the book, though.
Dustin Hoffman's hair is mesmerizing. I can't take my eyes off that perfect blow dried coiff. The sphere gave him great hair.
I love this movie, but the part I always hated was when Norman made that swim. Not because of him holding his breath for that long, but for the temperature. There's no way he was in that freezing water that long without having to even towel off. He even took time to relax once he got to the ladder. Barnes even mentioned they'd freeze in that water past a minute or two.
round thing was interesting. very interesting.
To be honest I absolutely loved watching this movie when I was younger, every time it was on T.V. I watched it and loved it, it's just such a strange movie about such a big round thing.
Somehow it always used to freak me out especially when Sam L, J's guy was reading the 20,000Thousand Leagues Under The Sea and all the cabinets and drawers where filled with that book but every book had no words past a certain page or something, strange times.
So THIS is the movie that scared me as a kid! I only saw the scene with the lady and the jellyfish, and it was all it took for me to run and hide under the covers.
Jellyfish are terrifying to me.

"theNewBee Destroys World - 0 f%$# given... sadly the channel still does not blah blah blah" Ton of funny bits in this vid, but OMFG this part is priceless!!!
0 fucks given. theNewBees sudden rise to popularity was actually enough to destabilize Earth’s orbit and send us spinning into the Sun. Sadly, the channel still does not have enough view time to qualify for monetization and his Patreon is pretty sad. When asked for a statement, theNewBee would only say “Share, like and subscribe...” while caressing a homemade Play Button made of Scotch Tape and LEGOs.
"anyone else want to see an example of that (explosive decompression)"
Not if you ever want to open your fists into hands again. It's not at all pretty. Happened in 1983 aboard the Byford dolphin drilling rig when 4 divers experienced an accident causing the pressure of their chamber to explosively drop from 9 atmospheres to 1.
The worst affected diver, was folded in half as he was pushed through a 2-foot wide opening by the escaping air, being "violently dismembered". The only recognizable remains were his trachea, spine, and a small portion of his intestines.
Why? Why did I read this? I'm gonna have nightmares. I haven't gotten over my co worker tellin' me how her brother got hurt and was tugging on his nerve!
@@FeralFelineFriend if it's any consolation for your dreams, the victims felt no pain and had no idea what hit them. Everything would've just blinked off for them.
@Ollie Neil well that's strange
No shit you already had to search that up we all know about that incident and lots more like the guy who got sucked in a pipe or the crab that did as well.
@@whatsupinspace854 they technically did feel the pressure a second before it happened because they could feel the pressure start off building then it happened basically their ears popped
I know that I've written before about loving your work but , I've just got to say it again .
I so enjoy your sense of humor and honest review of these awkward films !!!
"You should go in the sphere man".
"I'm still in the sphere man!"
::dies laughing::
Ironically I just got finished smoking a bowl haha!
Thank you for a great review of Round Thing-entertaining and hilarious as always NewBee 😍
Thanx. I'm missing mystery science theater 3000 less tonight
Sphere - The Event Horizon knockoff under water
Helium is breathed in deep diving because it doesnt have the narcotic effects of the nitrogen that makes up most of the air we breath. When nitrogen is breathed under pressure it causes effects similar to drunkenness.
Look up the Byford Dolphin incident for an example of explosive decompression.
It only just hit me, but once you drew attention to the Huey Lewis cameo in a movie called *'Round Thing',* all I can now hear in my head is how 'It’s Hip To Be *Square'!*
Hey kids, geometry is fun!
"What does 'satsujin' mean?"
"It means 'japanese murder'."
I always get the movies sphere and the cube mixed up....
Circle will further your confusion.
@@algorithmhelper262 now how about triangle?
In round thing!
...I mean Sphere.
I died.
‘Keith Richards!!’
😂😂😂
"Ok for my 307th book, this couple is attacked, by uh lamp monster, ohohhohoh"
The helium counters nitrogen bubbles that get generated in your blood because of the depth and such as far as I know
"Trash... Basura"
*Silent Night Deadly Night 2* : "GARBAGE DAY !!!!"
I am still making my way through all your reviews, but if you haven't already then you ought to review "The Black Hole". EDIT: I see you did.
1299 subscribers when you were making this and look at yourself now :)
Great review. If i was in the movie i would’ve feared the sphere taking over the the ship creating AI lol
I love that you review these bad 90s big budget studio movies!!!
your quick edit to "thank you silence" almost made me choke to death on a noodle. Wasn't expecting that.
Perseverance and constant amazing quality made you get that silver button quicker than you'd think. Congrats!
Another amazing review! Again, congratulations on 22K! :)
Are you afraid?
-why, what have you heard
im so glad i found you! most fun watching movie reviews ever!
I was hoping for a twist at the end. That all the people that died would walk into the room and they would realize the three of them went through a deep sea compression experiment
You replace the nitrogen with helium in air to reduce decompression time. Nitrogen will dissolve in blood and if you surface fast youll experience the bends
I’ve been trying to find that underneath the water song forever what’s it called?!
Also love you videos
Lifeafter Everything no :(
7:29 A tasty burger?
I’m half-Hispanic, as is my brother and quite a bit of my city, San Antonio. Since I found out that you’re half-and-half as well, I think it would be awesome if you sprinkled in Tagalog words you remember. A lot of us are bored and aren’t committed to learning a full language, but what I get from watching Bollywood films with my Pakistani friends or being around Spanglish or the few Japanese and Korean and French words I know, hearing them delights me. Maybe make it a tiny text that flashes on screen to translate it for a while or just specify the language, so we can hunt for it. Something like “Mira” in Spanish to start maybe? Your choice. I’d just love to learn some words. Oh! Maybe stray from your heavily edited and studied and scripted videos and do something like Call Me Kevin’s learning Irish on Duolingo video. There’s also a Chinese girl who tries Mandarin that went viral. It’d be funny. We love your bloopers.
The book had the same issue. You want to know more about the sphere and you want to know more about what happens to them in the sphere (its kind of scribed as floating in clouds), but you dont get any of that. Their personal issues are a little more interesting, and its kind of nifty how they describe Sharon Stone's character (cant remember her name) subtly transforming throughout the story.
The end is super disappointing. It could have led to an interesting sequel, but instead they just decide to forget the Sphere is there.
i love how you do ur review!!! Glad i subscribed :)
They are lucky that they didn't bring a japanese scientist.
I saw this movie. You're right about the end being a let down. I really liked the movie until that point.
I've only read the book, but really liked the premise and execution of the story.
If you’ve only read the book, don’t watch the movie. The movie is a dumbed down, ridiculous take on the most bare bones concept of the story. The sphere itself is NOTHING like the book, and they make it out to be an alien life form, probably because average movie goers are too idiotic for a true take on a cerebral novel.
The sphere is an scp
aight
The only "real" alien thing in the movie was the sphere.
The spacecraft came from here, just not now.
So I guess technically it was "alien in time".
So I watched this right before my scuba diving certification, which happened to coincide with the local jellyfish population breeding season. The Helium is a real thing! Its something I had to learn about mixing your oxygen tanks for different depths. The deeper you go the less oxygen you want to be breathing, and helium as an inert gas is a safe mix.
The helium thing lessens the pressure or something when it mixed with oxygen so the helium scene was most likely there to show them getting their lungs used to the shit in the their air tanks
The helium is to reduce nitrogen narcosis and oxygen poisoning. Has nothing to do with lessening the pressure.
Apparently, a mixture of oxygen and helium is used by people who scuba dive at the depth of over 125 metres. But in the movie, they are in a submarine so that is not applicable.
So did the spaceship travel back in time?
the book while pulpy was very readable and enjoyable and the movie while with an excellent cast was such a mess...this is actually one where I'm hoping for a do-over.
good thing I don't have that "power". The world wouldn't necessarily end...but some weird things might happen that people would not like. I have a wild imagination.
This is a fucking awesome movie... classic 90s
Fantastic Jennifer Tilly reference
I'm here from 2023 and we DID see a sub implode lol
I got Sphere and Contact confused.
Movie was a trip had me thinking like crazy what a great old movie. Some parts confused me like the book he always reading and the fact that when they forget it, it launches into space ?
Jerry -> Harry is the worst in this movie. It makes no sense. They put it in hoping no one would check. I did. Took me a thought or two. Makes no sense.
You got 69 dislikes on the video. Nice!
Yes, my main contention was all their fears were underwater related.
You deserve 1299000000 subs for sure!
So harry was happy?
This and event horizon I binged with my fauther on a Saturday when I was a young kid
Loved how the lack of definition and end leaves much to the imagination-something that goes really well with cosmic horror, a lack of defined, like the fear of the unknown I guess?
Shit fucked me up proper! Really cool film, a proper horror movie. Thanks for reviewing this !
20 seconds in and can’t help but notice you have the same on screen mannerisms as the guy from “technology connections”
Anyone else pause at 12:38 to read that entire article? Gahd I love these videos.
I know it's not the best movie, but I still love it.
This video was a very good honest review and omg the humor 🤣😅

I love this channel now!
I’m confused enough by Samuel L. Jackson’s appearance. I was born in 1996, and my now 70-year-old parents introduced me to a lot of old shit at a young age, and I continue to seek it out. My brother (1989) does the same but with mostly trash horror flicks. I can only handle that basura in review/commentary form
I honestly do not believe these people claiming they read the book and still love this movie. This movie butchered the awesome story and concept of the book. The characters were stripped down, simplified, and had their entire backstory and arc ripped away. The sphere itself is gigantic in the movie, and looks nothing like it should. The implication that the sphere is alive was idiotic as well. The novel made a point of the sphere NOT being alive. Making Beth and Norman ex lovers was enraging. Also, changing Norman’s last name to something more similar to his first is absurd.
This was a fun but simple movie and a great review
I saw this movie in the theater back in 1998 when I was in 10th grade. 15 year old me was riveted even though I don't think I followed the ending. It's a NASA spacecraft that time travelled with a big gold alien sphere on board that mindfucks everyone who crosses paths with it -- is that really how this ended? Need my memory sarcastically refreshed. I was sad that Queen Latifah had to die. BTW, one of my gave movies, Showgirls, brought me here.
Love the book, love the film too.
At the there’s something inside it I would have just noped out of there
Fun little popcorn flick but it can be forgettable. It would have been nice if they would have shown more and heightened the tension just a tad bit.
I loved the book and hated one huge difference, the ending.
In the book, it was suggested that they didn't actually forget their powers (when they exit the decompression chamber someone compliments Beth which could be a manifestation of her desire to be attractive, which is talked about earlier in the book), but it's still ambiguous. You decide for yourself what happened.
In the movie, that's left out. You have no reason to doubt that they really did just forget. We're just told that they could forget and are shown no evidence to the contrary. The book's ending wasn't that great, but the movie's is somehow worse. Way to go.
Hey, do a review on the congo
Want a trippy movie? Try "God Told Me To." With Richard Lynch as a glowing, hippy hermaphroditic alien. Yeah, that's what he is. The whole movie is an acid trip.
there is a website named shudder where you can watch endless horror movies and mabey it will give you some ideas on movies to review also love your vids keep em up
My favorite part of the movie was the first 30 minutes that had to do with the spacecraft. The rest of the movie after that...they overdid it on the horror scenes. The otherwise good soundtrack turns loud, dissonant, shrill, and shrieking so loudly, that its hard to hear the actors even though they are *shouting* at each other. That with the chaotic shaky cam, fast panning, zooming, close ups... when this is overdone, it takes me out of the movie and its like a root canal where I'm wondering when the movie will end, rather than being invested in the characters.
One of these days I'll read the book. I enjoyed Congo and Jurassic Park, when the story was actually moving forward, rather than Crichton going on a lengthy tangent for scientific basis. 0.02
Great review. Now help me find your Event Horizon review! Is it up? (I havent looked for it yet.)
I haven't done Event Horizon... yet :)
@@theNewBee awwww...well, give me a heads up then. You liked it, right??? Better than Ghost Ship???
He reviewed Event Horizon.
The sphere is my cologne
There is an X-men charecter named gold balls, i just wanted you to know that
The book goes so hard
I think it could be cut down to 90ish means.
I really what to see your review final destination series
6:09 do pplll actually floss like that?
Only people who hate their teeth
7:29 It's "Gluten". Everyone will die...
This was my favorite movie growing up!
The book was better. Okay, not really. The movie follows the book pretty closely.
okay ima say it now before i watch the video. cube but a little more round?
Please do a review for the saw movies
There's so many scenes in this review that weren't in the movie I watched.
1:07 that's what i like to hear.
Love ur videos man
Book is pretty fucken scary
Who names there child Harry Atoms. TF
This movie is 90s af
Have you read the book? Your review seems like you haven't
What is the basis for this type of review/video? Who is the person that all of these people are imitating?
I see a lot of videos with this same style: constant attempts at humor throughout the video...it's like every couple of seconds another comment
I just find it weird that so many people try to imitate the same style...
Welcome to a genre
@@theNewBee Seriously!? If you're really telling the truth that's...not optimal.
In my opinion, it might be better to strive for quality over imitation. Instead of following trends, try to set yourself apart for your consistent quality.
This is the first video I've ever seen of yours but I've seen three reviews of this movie that were all just like this - that's the basis for my advice.
I suppose you already rejected that idea since you chose to go this route but...I felt compelled to say something.
I wonder if Samuel L Jackson is always written with the "logical, voice of reason" line in movies, or if he, as a person, always throws it in because it's such an obvious question to ask.
"Are we sure we should even be doing this stupid shit? You know poking the monstrous creature or playing with the alien artifact never ends well in any story ever written by our species. Maybe there's some cultural knowledge in that fact. An unquestionable, eternal truth that..." ::ah shit, white people just gave that monstrous creature an enema with the fucking alien artifact, time to save them from themselves::
Hey, hey, watch it buddy! Stay-Puft is a God! Are you a God?
Who cares about alien calamari, they should go back up and say there's a space/time ship from the future down there to reverse-engineer.
By the time the giant squid shows up, a cyclone on the surface has forced the military to pull the plug on the habitat so they're on internal power and can't resurface until someone gives them the okay.
