I love that you say round thing instead of sphere

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.

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.

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."

Dustin Hoffman's hair is mesmerizing. I can't take my eyes off that perfect blow dried coiff. The sphere gave him great hair.

round thing was interesting. very interesting.

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.

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.

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.

“I think the music can calm the fuck down!” Wish I could subscribe again!

"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 😍

"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.

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 !!!

Thanx. I'm missing mystery science theater 3000 less tonight

"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!!!

Sphere - The Event Horizon knockoff under water

im so glad i found you! most fun watching movie reviews ever!

Another amazing review! Again, congratulations on 22K! :)

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'!*

i love how you do ur review!!! Glad i subscribed :)

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.

your quick edit to "thank you silence" almost made me choke to death on a noodle. Wasn't expecting that.

"What does 'satsujin' mean?" "It means 'japanese murder'."

Perseverance and constant amazing quality made you get that silver button quicker than you'd think. Congrats!

1299 subscribers when you were making this and look at yourself now :)

I love that you review these bad 90s big budget studio movies!!!

Great review. If i was in the movie i would’ve feared the sphere taking over the the ship creating AI lol

I always get the movies sphere and the cube mixed up....

‘Keith Richards!!’ 😂😂😂

"Ok for my 307th book, this couple is attacked, by uh lamp monster, ohohhohoh"

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.

In round thing! ...I mean Sphere. I died.

Are you afraid? -why, what have you heard

The helium counters nitrogen bubbles that get generated in your blood because of the depth and such as far as I know

I’ve been trying to find that underneath the water song forever what’s it called?! Also love you videos

This was a fun but simple movie and a great review

"Trash... Basura" *Silent Night Deadly Night 2* : "GARBAGE DAY !!!!"

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

Love ur videos man

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 🤣😅 Subscribed 👍🔔 I love this channel now!

I've only read the book, but really liked the premise and execution of the story.

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.

I saw this movie. You're right about the end being a let down. I really liked the movie until that point.

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 !

7:29 A tasty burger?

This was my favorite movie growing up!

You deserve 1299000000 subs for sure!

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

They are lucky that they didn't bring a japanese scientist.

I'm here from 2023 and we DID see a sub implode lol

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.

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.

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.

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 ?

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

The sphere is an scp

Anyone else pause at 12:38 to read that entire article? Gahd I love these videos.

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.

Love the book, love the film too.

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.

Yes, my main contention was all their fears were underwater related.

Hey, do a review on the congo

So did the spaceship travel back in time?

Great review. Now help me find your Event Horizon review! Is it up? (I havent looked for it yet.)

Fantastic Jennifer Tilly reference

I really what to see your review final destination series

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.

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.

20 seconds in and can’t help but notice you have the same on screen mannerisms as the guy from “technology connections”

Whats the name of the song at 2:33?

I got Sphere and Contact confused.

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".

Huey Lewis??? noice!

Please do a review for the saw movies

There's so many scenes in this review that weren't in the movie I watched.

This is a fucking awesome movie... classic 90s

i read the book , quite liked the movie

So harry was happy?

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

Hey, hey, watch it buddy! Stay-Puft is a God! Are you a God?

1:07 that's what i like to hear.

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

At the there’s something inside it I would have just noped out of there

kill bill-pork, sick taste ma dude

The book goes so hard

okay ima say it now before i watch the video. cube but a little more round?

The sphere is my cologne

There is an X-men charecter named gold balls, i just wanted you to know that

I think it could be cut down to 90ish means.

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.

Oh no, not the Arby's!

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.

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

7:29 It's "Gluten". Everyone will die...

Love that movie

6:09 do pplll actually floss like that?

This movie is 90s af

Who names there child Harry Atoms. TF

I want to be an Adrienne Barbeau-bot.

Have you read the book? Your review seems like you haven't
