Trying to find an old sci fi deep sea alien movie - Page 2

Lenardo · 03-26-2007, 08:46 AM

i took it as nti nonterrestrial ie land walking.. oh well no worries, it's a fun movie none the less. though i can see why they took the "preaching" part out of the movie.

i took that part and their anger at the surface dwellers, not becasue they were aliens pissed that we were polluting the water,, more as

beings that evolved down there pissed off at the surface dwellers for.....polluting THEIR waters.

Definitely not The Abyss and definitely not The Sphere. I'll do some searching on wikipedia and see, but I doubt it's on there. I think this was a low-budget Sci-Fi original even, one of the only ones that was good. But it seems like it was too good to be a Sci-Fi original, it had none of the Sci-Fi original cheesieness. Hmm, I'll have to do some research. And furism, thanks for being a sarcastic ass, but sometimes people like to talk to other people rather than being a social hermit and never asking others for help/advise.

Definitely no water aliens doing some weird liquid formation stuff. Only 1 guy in the movie ever came into contact with the actual aliens and it was at the end.

Towards the end he asks the aliens why they are trying to kill everyone and the aliens showed him a movie on a giant wall of water of all the atrocities man is committing on the surface world. Bombs, wars, murders, etc,.

Anyways, thanks for the responses guys, I'll have to keep thinking on it.

Do you happen to remember any of the actors? if not by name then by what other roles theyve been in? That could cinch it easily.

Im glad I saw this post, been wondering the name of some of the movies I had seen when I was a kid but I could never figure it out.. until now. Sorry OP, cant help you on that one though.

See if any of those ring a bell maybe?

It still sounds like the Abyss!!

Is there a scene you could describe that wasn't in the abyss ?

Khorum · 03-26-2007, 05:26 PM

Yeah, that's pretty much still the special edition ending of the the Abyss. The alien was talking to Ed Harris, showed him the footage of the escalating cold war crisis and then the 'frozen' tidal wave footage.

Otherwise, maybe if you can remember the actors/actresses in the movie, that would help. Or other details. If you remember a sunken soviet nuclear warhead subplot with navy seals and shit, thats definitely the abyss.

It's the Abyss. Or a really cheap clone.

At about 5:35 in, this exact scene occurs.

Goliath · 03-26-2007, 05:39 PM

Scenes that definitely wern't in it : Anything involving the aliens turning into water and copying people's faces to try and communicate with them.

Paranoid captain or whatever that is trying to kill the alien/water.

There's a few more. I'll have to skip through some of my Abyss dvd to find out which ones. I might be putting the memory of the Abyss ending into this movie subconsciously because I can't remmeber it all. But I definitely remember thinking "this movie is like The Abyss" and also that it couldn't be because of the no water alien/morphing scenes.

Weird.

Hmmmm

THAT IS STILL THE ABYSSS!

I'm starting to think you're just playing some wierd perverted game with us 8(

DickTrickle · 03-26-2007, 07:14 PM

Yeah, you've definitely either mixed up two movies or have completely forgotten what The Abyss is like.

Zarcath · 03-26-2007, 07:17 PM

are you sure it was a movie and not an episode? like maybe Stargate or some such?

Faille · 03-26-2007, 07:23 PM

Perhaps it was the sequal, Son of Abyss

FulorianC · 03-26-2007, 07:26 PM

How about you qualify 'old'?

I don't consider 1989 to be an old movie, when reading your original post I was thinking you meant 1950s - 1960s low budget scifi flicks, not early CGI movies. Black and white, color, etc, would help.
