Transcript
00:00A family is spending their vacation on a yacht in the middle of the sea.
00:03The mother, Emma, jumps into the water to swim.
00:05While relaxing in the water, she suddenly feels something strange.
00:08But she cannot see anything around her.
00:11So she thinks maybe it is just her imagination.
00:13A few seconds later, she feels the same strange thing again.
00:16This time, she gets scared and starts swimming back toward the yacht and she unaware of upcoming danger.
00:22Suddenly, something grabs her leg and starts pulling her underwater.
00:25Emma screams loudly for help.
00:27Her elder daughter Sophia is wearing headphones and listening to music.
00:30So she cannot hear her.
00:31Her husband Locus and son Ben are busy fishing.
00:34Emma tries to keep her head above the water.
00:36But it becomes hard to scream because water keeps getting into her mouth.
00:40After some time, Locus realizes that he has not seen Emma for a while.
00:43He looks around the yacht and then sees that his wife is in danger.
00:46He calls his family and moves the yacht toward her.
00:49Then he jumps into the water.
00:50He quickly reaches Emma, holds her and swims back toward the yacht.
00:54The family pull both of them up.
00:56The family takes care of Emma.
00:57But she tells them that maybe the waves caused the strange feeling.
01:00That night, the family celebrates Ben's birthday together.
01:03Sophia gets a call from her boyfriend.
01:05So she takes her laptop outside.
01:07During the video call, her boyfriend shows her that huge black clouds have appeared over the city.
01:11Suddenly, the video freezes because the connection stops working.
01:15Sophia goes back to tell her family.
01:16Locus says the signal is probably weak because they are far away from land.
01:21Suddenly, everyone hears a strange sound.
01:23They go outside and see a group of whales passing by.
01:26Locus explains that whales usually follow the Earth's magnetic field.
01:29But when a storm comes, they can become confused.
01:32Suddenly, the yacht shakes hard and Ben falls down.
01:34Locus becomes worried that the yacht may have been damaged.
01:37So he dives into the water to check it.
01:39After a while, Locus comes back to the surface.
01:42But there is a large wound on his shoulder.
01:44Emma quickly treats and stitches his wound.
01:46Locus tells them that while he was underwater,
01:48he felt as if a huge creature was behind him.
01:50When he turned around, he accidentally got cut by the propeller.
01:54He says that whatever he felt was extremely large.
01:57Locus checks the yacht and finds a lot of damage.
02:00They realize they need help.
02:01Emma keeps trying to contact someone through the radio.
02:04Sophia also searches for a phone signal, but nothing works.
02:07Suddenly, Sophia sees a strange creature and screams.
02:10But it turns out to be Ben wearing a mask and playing a joke on her.
02:14A little later, the yacht completely stops working.
02:16Leaving the family stuck in the middle of the ocean,
02:18Emma hears a voice on the radio.
02:20But the signal is so bad that she cannot understand what the person is saying.
02:24Locus tells the family that they only have enough food and water for four days.
02:29Now they have to wait for a fishing boat to find them.
02:31Suddenly, something appears on the radar.
02:33At the same time, the family hears a strange sound.
02:36Everyone runs outside and sees many objects falling from the sky.
02:40At first, they think they are meteors.
02:42Every time one hits the ground, there is a huge explosion.
02:45One of them falls into the water near them.
02:47Locus quickly tries to start the yacht.
02:49The engine barely starts, but then another object hits the area.
02:53The family becomes terrified and holds each other tightly.
02:56Then Locus realizes that the burning objects are not meteors.
02:59They are falling satellites.
03:01At that moment, Ben notices smoke coming from the yacht.
03:04Locus checks the engine and confirms that it is damaged.
03:07The wind starts becoming stronger, so the family hides inside the yacht.
03:10They do not notice that the compass is spinning very fast.
03:13The yacht begins shaking badly.
03:15Ben falls again and gets hurt this time.
03:17Huge waves keep hitting the yacht.
03:19Locus struggles to go outside and brings life jackets for everyone.
03:23Suddenly, the power goes out.
03:24Locus quickly presses the button on the power box and the lights come back on.
03:28Ben notices that blood is coming from Emma's nose.
03:31Emma starts feeling dizzy.
03:32Sophia goes to the sink and throws up.
03:34Locus keeps trying the radio, but there is still no signal.
03:38Suddenly, a very loud, high-pitched sound is heard.
03:41And the wind becomes even stronger.
03:42Emma tries to close the doors, but one of the hatches opens.
03:46The strong wind starts breaking the windows.
03:48Locus lights a flare.
03:49After some time, everything becomes dark.
03:51The next morning, the family wakes up in shock.
03:54They realize that they survived the storm, but the yacht is badly damaged.
03:58When they go outside, they are shocked to see that the ocean water is gone.
04:01The yacht is now stuck on the ground.
04:03Sophia checks her phone, but there is no network at all.
04:06Ben starts playing with two dead crabs.
04:09Locus checks the compass and sees that it has turned upside down.
04:11This has not happened for hundreds of thousands of years.
04:15Sophia starts thinking that her boyfriend may be dead, and she breaks down.
04:18When Emma tries to comfort her, Sophia pushes her away and goes somewhere to hide.
04:22Emma and Locus check the supplies they have left.
04:25Ben ties his birthday balloons to a rock, hoping that another survivor might see them.
04:29Locus tries the radio again.
04:31This time, he manages to connect with a man named Now.
04:34He is the captain of a submarine.
04:35Now tells them that his submarine is also stuck on land.
04:38He confirms that the Earth's magnetic poles have reversed.
04:41Because of this, the ocean has moved away from the land.
04:44He says that he has not seen any other survivors and that communication systems are no longer working.
04:50He also explains that the poles may reverse again, and the ocean could return within a week.
04:54He warns the family to move to a high place because the returning water will be extremely dangerous.
04:59Now tells them that his partner died in the crash and that there is room for only three people in
05:04the submarine.
05:05Emma and Locus beg him to save their son and daughter.
05:08Now gives them his coordinates.
05:10Locus calculates that it will take them about two or three days to reach the submarine.
05:14He tells the family to get some good rest because they will leave in the morning.
05:18The next morning, the family starts packing their things.
05:20Suddenly, Locus sees something moving nearby.
05:23It is a strange injured man carrying a harpoon.
05:25A dog is barking beside him.
05:27Locus walks toward the man and gives him a bottle of water.
05:30But the man speaks a language Locus cannot understand.
05:32After drinking the water, the stranger suddenly hits Locus on the head with a bottle.
05:36Then he kicks Locus hard in the face.
05:38Emma becomes terrified and tries to run away.
05:40But it is already too late.
05:42The man has pushed his harpoon into Locus and Locus suffers for a few moments.
05:46Then the man cuts his neck.
05:47The man runs after Emma and throws the harpoon at her.
05:50It hits her shoulder and injures her.
05:52Emma runs back into the yacht while trying to ignore the pain.
05:55She tells the son and daughter to hide and locks the door.
05:58Sophia and Ben hide inside the sofa.
06:00Emma gives them the flare gun and takes a knife for herself.
06:02She hides inside the bathroom.
06:04The man keeps hitting the door until he finally breaks in.
06:07First, he takes some food.
06:08Then he starts searching the yacht.
06:10After that, he moves toward the bathroom.
06:12But Emma cleverly escapes through a small opening.
06:14The man thinks Emma has escaped from the yacht.
06:16But as he slowly starts leaving, his dog sees her and begins barking.
06:20The dog jumps toward Emma.
06:21She uses the knife to kill it.
06:23Hearing the dog scream, the man comes outside.
06:25When he sees his dog's dead body, he becomes furious.
06:28Meanwhile, Emma tries to enter the yacht from the other side.
06:31She climbs up and tries to get inside through a broken window.
06:34But the man has already reached that side.
06:36He grabs Emma and punches her hard, causing her to fall down.
06:40Emma holds onto the furniture and tries to protect herself.
06:42But the man kicks her away.
06:44He steps on her wrist so she will drop the knife.
06:46Then he grabs her hair, slams her face against the ground,
06:50throws her onto the sofa and starts choking her.
06:52The son and daughter watch everything in fear.
06:54Sophia comes out and fires the flare gun.
06:57It hits the man directly.
06:58The man catches fire and the fire quickly spreads through the yacht.
07:01The family run away but Emma comes back.
07:03She kicks the man and knocks him down.
07:05She grabs the map and a bag and runs away.
07:08Suddenly, the terrifying man comes out of the yacht again.
07:10The family starts running once more.
07:12A short time later, the yacht explodes.
07:14After walking for some time, they stop near a small waterfall to rest.
07:18Sophia thinks that maybe the crazy man came after them because he saw the balloons.
07:22Ben starts blaming himself for what happened.
07:24Emma tells him that none of this was his fault.
07:26She tells everyone that they must keep moving because the man may still be following them.
07:31On the way, Ben sees a dead hammerhead shark near a small pond and becomes surprised.
07:36Suddenly, Emma notices that the strange man is getting close to them again.
07:39The family starts running.
07:41They fall down a sand hill and discover a large area filled with dangerous waste.
07:45The family carefully crosses the area.
07:47They think they have finally escaped from the man.
07:49As they continue walking, they start seeing many large dead sea animals and huge amounts of plastic
07:54that were once under the ocean.
07:56Ben begins walking very slowly.
07:58Emma realizes that he is becoming badly dehydrated.
08:01She tells everyone to stop.
08:02When she checks their water bottle, she gets shocked.
08:05Almost all the water is gone.
08:07Sophia realizes that she may not have closed the bottle properly.
08:10Emma gets angry and tells Sophia that her carelessness caused them to lose their water.
08:15Sophia replies that it does not matter because they are probably not going to survive anyway.
08:19The two argue for a long time.
08:22Even after the argument, the family continues walking.
08:25After some time, they find a crashed airplane.
08:27They see something moving inside and become frightened.
08:30But it is only a group of birds.
08:32The family decides to spend the night inside the plane.
08:35They share a small amount of food.
08:36Emma finds a family photo inside Locus's jacket.
08:39Seeing the photo breaks her heart.
08:41Sophia asks mom, what was your love story with dad?
08:44Emma smiles and tells her.
08:46Locus was once her patient at the hospital.
08:48One day, he gave her flowers and a sweet poem to show her that he loved her.
08:52In the middle of the night, Sophia goes outside the plane.
08:55The terrifying man suddenly tries to grab her from behind.
08:58But Emma attacks him from behind.
08:59She repeatedly stabs him with a knife and kills him.
09:02Sophia hugs her mother and tries to calm her down.
09:05The next morning, they see insects covering the man's dead body.
09:08The family notices many bite marks on his body.
09:10This means that there is another dangerous creature living in the area.
09:14As they leave, crabs suddenly crawl out of the man's mouth.
09:17A few hours later, Emma and Sophia are looking at the map.
09:20But Ben quietly walks ahead.
09:22Emma shouts stop.
09:23But Ben bends down near a pond and starts drinking the water.
09:27Emma quickly pulls him away and explains that unknown water could make him sick.
09:31The sun becomes extremely hot.
09:33So the family covers their heads with clothes.
09:35Ben starts feeling dizzy.
09:37Then they find some old chairs.
09:38Emma and Sophia use them to make a temporary shelter.
09:41Emma gives Ben an injection and decides that they will spend the night there.
09:44The next morning, Emma wakes up after hearing a strange sound.
09:48She goes outside and sees a huge group of crabs moving toward them.
09:52She immediately wakes the family and all three start running.
09:55While running, they see a large cargo ship.
09:57Three crew members are still alive inside.
10:00One woman wants to help them, but the other two men refuse.
10:03The three crew members leave the family outside and lock themselves inside a container.
10:08The crabs quickly get closer.
10:09Emma helps the family climb onto the container.
10:11When she tries to climb up herself, the crabs bite her leg badly.
10:15The family pull her up before she falls.
10:17Some of the crabs enter through a hole in the container.
10:20The crew members start shooting at them, but the crabs become too powerful and attack the crew.
10:24The two men are killed.
10:26The last crew member reaches the opening in the roof, but the crabs pull him back down and kill him
10:30too.
10:31Emma puts a bandage on her wound and passes out.
10:33After some time, she wakes up and finds herself alone in the middle of a sandstorm.
10:38She becomes terrified and starts looking for the family.
10:40She picks up a weapon from a dead woman and starts shouting for her family.
10:44Sophia hears her voice and comes back.
10:46She tells Emma that she and Ben went to look for help, but they could not find anyone.
10:50Then they find Ben.
10:52He has found an open container where they can stay until the storm ends.
10:56Emma takes out Locus' letter and burns her wound closed.
10:59It causes her terrible pain, but she has no other choice.
11:02After the storm ends, they find another container filled with many bottles of water.
11:06While checking the dead bodies, they also find a radio and a gun.
11:10Emma contacts Nao and tells him that they have lost the map.
11:13Nao tells her that the ship was attacked by dangerous creatures called arthropods.
11:17He explains that these creatures have become extremely aggressive because of the change in oxygen levels.
11:23Nao tells the family to hurry because his instruments show that the ocean will return much sooner than expected.
11:28They only have a few hours left.
11:31Nao fires a flare and the family starts moving in that direction.
11:34After a long walk, they find a broken toilet where Ben uses the bathroom.
11:38Soon, they finally see the submarine nearby, but they need to cross a large rocky area to reach it.
11:43As they move through the area, the walls begin shaking and rocks start falling.
11:47A huge rock slide begins.
11:49Emma quickly pushes her family to the side and moves away herself, so they will not be crushed.
11:53A large wall of rocks now separates Emma from her family.
11:57Emma tells the family to continue without her, but Sophia refuses.
12:00She insists that her mother should try to climb over the rocks.
12:03They argue for a long time.
12:05Finally, Emma promises that she will find them later.
12:08Sophia has no choice.
12:09She pulls her brother forward and continues.
12:11The family climb across the rocky area and run toward the submarine.
12:15When they reach it, they find Nao badly injured and covered in blood.
12:18He tells them that everything is finished for him and that the family can take the submarine.
12:23Sophia thinks there will be an extra seat, so she runs back to find her mother.
12:27At that moment, Emma sees the crabs coming toward her.
12:29She starts shooting at them.
12:30She kills several crabs, but the group is too large to fight.
12:33Suddenly, Sophia appears above the wall and reaches out her hand.
12:37Even though Emma's leg is badly injured, she quickly starts climbing.
12:41With Sophia's help, she reaches the other side.
12:43The two run toward the submarine together.
12:45Ben is already standing near the submarine.
12:48He starts shooting to keep the crabs away while his mother and sister climb inside.
12:52As soon as the crabs reach the submarine, they begin eating its outer parts.
12:56Emma picks up the gun and keeps shooting until the family get inside.
12:59Once they are safe, Emma realizes that she has run out of bullets.
13:03She throws the gun at the crabs and gets inside with her family.
13:06The family locks the hatch tightly.
13:08Through the window, they can see crabs surrounding the submarine.
13:11At that exact moment, the ocean returns.
13:13The three of them quickly sit in their seats, put on their seatbelts and hold each other's
13:17hands.
13:18Huge waves begin throwing the submarine around.
13:20Emma starts seeing strange visions during the journey.
13:23Sophia becomes sick and throws up.
13:25Soon, the high-pitched sound returns.
13:27The entire family loses consciousness.
13:29After some time, Emma and the family wake up.
13:31They are happy to discover that they are still alive.
13:34They unlock the hatch and go outside.
13:36They see that the waves have carried the submarine into a destroyed city.
13:39Now they finally have a chance to survive and start a new life.
13:43And this is where the movie ends.
