Deus, God or Something Else?

All those who say "something else," give yourself a gold star. The lovely Claudia Black will say the same thing in this 2022 science fiction effort, which serves as a workingman's "Event Horizon." When you look into the face of God, what do you see?  What do you feel?  Not open ended questions. Ask David who shed some insights in the Psalms and Old Testament.  Ask those who walked with Jesus. Who do you say He is?  An important question in the Gospels.  Guess what. The antagonistic force in this film does not pass any of those tests.  Today we look at "Deus" (aka "Deus: The Dark Sphere"), directed by Steve Stone.

A big black sphere has camped itself next to Mars. On Earth, the 21 billion people population spells doom.  Spells doom?  Says who? Right!  The scientists. Nothing is known about the sphere except it has just appeared, thus a big spaceship, that will remind you of the one in "Event Horizon," is sent there with a scientific team. Of most note is Karla (Black) who will immediately hear the voices of her dead mother and daughter as soon as they get close. Of other note is the hot Asian babe (Crystal Yu). Sadly, Ms. Yu appears way down in the credits foretelling a gory demise. Yep, even the blogger, Si (Branko Tomovic) hears accusing voices in his head. He actually flips out and disembowels our hot Asian chick...so sad. Yep, the ship reaches the sphere, and the sphere begins communicating.  Right...it is God, or so it says. On Earth the scientific community says that is possible and plot the murder of 15 Billion people. Yep, even the future has the Dr. Fauci types.

Karla, Sean (Charlie MacGechan), and security officer Ulph (David O'Hara) go onto the sphere. A gate opens up with wonderful light emanating from it. It beckons Karla and she enters.  What does she see? Heaven! Oh yeah?  Wisely, Karla is skeptical.  Scientists on Earth are a little too eager to buy into this, but why? Promises of happiness and peace abound from this sphere.  Earthlings are excited.  Karla still isn't buying it. Ulph murders Sean, but why?  Karla starts pleading with everyone to not trust these messages of peace and harmony.  Don't worry, the mystery of the sphere will be revealed.  Testing everything in light of the scripture escaped the scientific community in this film and it may lead to the extinction of mankind...unless Karla can prevail.

Is the sphere God?  What does Karla know?  Is the scientific community really desiring peace, harmony, and the preservation of the species?  The questions posed in this film are all answered by Karla. For a biting endorsement of knowing who God really is (read the Gospels, and listen to David), see "Deus."
