QWhere are the aliens from?
AThey 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.
