I watched this movie a couple years ago and i cant find it again no matter what i search. I can only remember this one scene because ive seen sooo many space movies so maybe someone can help!

  • It had a group of people in space in a spaceship and they were from earth

  • There was an alien that went by the spaceship and it was shaped like a stingray except each side had 2 long fins and it looked like a stretched out X

  • It looked like it was swimming through space with its find and it was either as big or bigger than the spaceship

  • The movie was great quality so it wasn’t old definitely 2000s. Probably after 2010

  • I believe they followed the alien after seeing it or helped it out

  • The alien shows up in the middle/end of the movie

I know it isnt interstellar, life, or the more popular ones because i went through most of them trying to find it and couldn’t.

PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEE😭

Hi, Lili_37, did you manage to watch the below suggested movie "The Abyss" (1989)? Was it the right one?

I know that you said that they are in space, in a spaceship, and that the movie is post 2000, but there is a sci-fi with aliens that takes place underwater, and the aliens in that movie are stingray-like. The underwater oil rig in the movie is similar to a spaceship, and the crew of the oil rig wears specialist diving suits and they look like astronauts in those suits (see the screenshots). The movie has recently been given a 4K restoration, so the movie and the effects look brand new and modern.
“The Abyss” (1989)?

Here is a shot of that stingray-like alien with one of the crew who resembles an astronaut in his diving suit:

I have to watch and to be sure but i dont think this is it the alien looks almost the same but kind of different because it isnt round it looks like a long stretched out X and it might be in water but im almost sure its in space. Im going to watch the movie though to make sure! It might be a remake to this movie also i have to look it up.

OK, watch the movie, and please come back and give us a feedback on whether this is the right one or not. If this is not the right movie, it is still very much worth to check it out, it is a really great movie from the great director James Cameron. But if you watch it, be sure that you watch not just the original, shorter theatrical cut, but also the longer Special Edition of the movie with a different ending. In my opinion the longer Special Edition is better than the shorter, original theatrical cut. Also, I do not think that a remake of this movie exists.
