  Movies like this make you realize how scary it is to be underwater... with or without aliens in the mix lol.

  Fun Fact: For those that don’t know Asia is a Navy vet. Her knowledge of certain things was very helpful while watching. I enjoyed watching along with y’all. Much love❤️

  My dad did scuba diving as a hobby when this came out and the theater was packed with divers. You could hear every saying "They should be dead!" When the aliens brought them up. This got a standing ovation from our audience. The book was also great!😍

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBAaOlgA20s&amp;t=356">5:56</a> &quot;launch the buouy&quot; is the most terrifying line in this sequence. The skipper already knows everybody’s dead.

  Asia is such a beautiful soul. She 2nd guesses herself every time bless her, even though there&apos;s no need to. Laughed when BJ hinted it might be scary, an Asia&apos;s blanket started moving further an further up 😅

  There are at least 3 versions of this movie. Depending on the version you found, you might not have noticed the overall plot point that those ocean aliens were about to use their water technology to flood the planet and wipe the planet clean of humans. Bud basically saved the planet with his heroic and loving message to Lindsey by showing the aliens that there was good in people as well. The build up to that event had the aliens pausing long enough to investigate. Towards the end, there&apos;s a huge wall of water approaching the coast and at some point after Bud disables the nuke, the wall of water just stops and falls back down into the ocean.

  When the cast first arrived on the set, James Cameron greeted them by saying, &quot;Welcome to my nightmare.&quot; He had been trying to work out all the technical issues for weeks. Filming was so problematic. Everyone hated working on it. In the scene where Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio (Lindsey) almost drowned she very nearly did! Ed Harris (Bud) noticed she was in trouble so he tried to get Cameron to stop filming. Cameron refused because he wanted realism. Ed Harris tackled him to the ground and just about punched his lights out.

  The sad part is that Lt Koffey, the SEAL team leader, was suffering from narcosis, and if he had been brought back to the surface, within 24 hrs he would have been back to normal and absolutely embarrassed at how he acted.
