Quotes
Walter: Face-eating, Jack? Is that some kind of a delicacy?
Share this
Ben Luckett: [Stepping into the freezing cold pool] Whoa, that'll make your ol' ball sack shrivel up.

Walter: I want you all to consider what I am about to suggest to you. You people seem to want what we've got. Well, we have room for you. We have room for you and about 30 of your friends. You would be students of course, but you'd also be teachers. And the new civilizations you would be travelling to would be unlike anything you've ever seen before. But I promise you, you will all lead productive lives.

Q
Where are the aliens from?
A
They came from the planet Antarea about 10,000 years ago and settled on the island of Atlantis which sank as the result of an earthquake (according to legend). While most of the Antareans were able to escape, 20 of them remained behind in cocoons submerged in the ocean. In the movie, Antareans 'Walter' (Brian Dennehy) and 'Kitty' (Tahnee Welch), living incognito as humans, have returned to pick up the survivors.
