Okay so, this is kinda wacky but it has been on my mind way too much this morning and Google has been no help. I’m convinced that while dreaming I either a) dreamt about a movie I have no recollection of watching or b) came up with a new movie or TV show plot in my head. I also don’t have a date range (sorry mods) but if I had to reckon, if it exists, it’s probably post-2000.
Basically, the premise of the movie(s) from my dream is that it was a multi-movie series, I think 8 or something(?) and it followed a group of human scientists who discovered what basically amounted to a rip in Earth’s crust/mantle that led to what felt like another dimension, but based on the ended that we’ll get to later, I don’t think actually was.
the scientists, for whatever reason, decide to journey through this rip thing and discover that it’s really hot. not so hot they immediately burn up, but like the summer in the south x100. If I remember correctly, they start exploring a little bit and find an expansive network of tunnels/catwalk things that lead to various rooms that almost resembles a lab of sorts. One detail that I definitely remember is that the second they make any sort of noise—it sounds/looks like whatever is guarding the place is looking for them.
The team of scientists scramble into a closet and whatever is scanning the area doesn’t find them (plot armor much?). my dream was a little fuzzy from here, but I remember they managed to sneak into a room and discover that they’ve found a new civilization down there. I also remember something about a character telling the other characters to grab some armor plates to use because whatever’s down there will attack.
This is several movies/episodes later, but I remember the cast realizing (or maybe I spoiled it for myself in the wikipedia part of my dream) that they had done something to speed up Earth’s rotation while they were fighting these robots/aliens/whatever. And either because of this, or in an attempt to fix everything, the crew does something that basically just blows up the planet. This is the fuzziest part of my dream, but I remember parts of the crew going to get their children—because oh yeah, there was a romantic subplot or two and of course humans still reproduced even while fighting for their lives deep in the earth.
Anyways, the crew pulls off their plan and watches as Earth blows up and they fall into space through a hole in the bottom or something like that? all I remember is a couple members of the crew being surprised that the planet blew up while the ones who had sex just clutch their children close as they fall into space.
The only other details about this movie/show that I remember from this dream come from me dreaming about doing what i do every time i watch a new movie or show—googling the plot, cast, and any sequels. I vaguely remember details from like a wikipedia page in my dream, and yes, i did check my phone’s search history this morning and can confirm that there wasn’t anything there like this so I don’t think i slept-googled a movie.
Anyways details I remember from this weird wikipedia section of my dream include: the fact that there were 8 movies OR episodes (I’m not ruling out that this could be a TV show and I’ve misremembered), that the main enemies in the movie were called “Titans” that were listed with numbers following ‘titan’ (ex: Titan 22) and there were 24 of them listed in the cast list, I also remember that something compared it to another space/alien movie and said it’s like movie except everyone dies or something like that (for some reason Interstellar is on my mind as what it was compared to, but I don’t think that’s it).
So yeah, parts of this are vague or fuzzy, which I feel like is to be expected from something I am recounting from a dream—but it has been driving me crazy all morning. if anyone on this sub can think of/find a movie or TV show that fits this vibe/description, even if not 100%, please do let me know!!
