Ferocious Planet 2011

At the Federal Institute of Sciences, researchers unveil a device designed to visualize parallel dimensions during a high-stakes demonstration. Colonel Sam Synn introduces Dr. Karen Fast, Josh Burk, Al Icia, and Senator Jackson Crenshaw to observe the proceedings.

Yet the machine misfires, pulling the group of observers—Dr. Jillian O’Hara and her assistant Brian Murphy—into a terrifying dimension inhabited by predatory alien beasts. The new terrain is alive with danger, and danger comes quickly: Colonel Sam Synn wastes no time, killing an alien creature with two pairs of three eyes. An earthquake ripples through the scene, and Lex Michaels suffers a heart attack, while the senator treats the moment as a joke. They soon realize they are truly in another dimension, and the situation escalates when the senator is torn in half by a mysterious attacker.

The explorers press on, trying to understand their new surroundings, only to discover that the “earthquake” was really the building sliding down a hillside. Danger intensifies when they are confronted by the creature that kills Jordan Reid, a soldier from their group. Sam fights back, destroying the creature, but the ensuing explosion causes the building to collapse and forces a dangerous retreat.

With retreat necessitated by even more lurking predators, the team scrambles to safety through debris scattered by the machine’s blast. Dr. Jillian O’Hara deduces that the fix hinges on finding water, so the group splits: Sam, Josh Burk, and Dr. Karen Fast move together, while Lieutenant Rivers, O’Hara, and Murphy form the other half.

In the nesting grounds of one of the beasts, Josh Burk seizes an egg and, in a moment of misfortune, falls victim to the creature referred to as the “mommy.” Meanwhile, Rivers tries to blow up a creature in a stream but fails, and he is killed in the attempt. Karen shifts focus to a delicate task, examining the planet’s smart video system, as Murphy falls to the creature’s attack. Sam usurps moments away from danger, distracting the monster so O’Hara can reach the nest and retrieve the device, but a misstep leads to the loss of the egg as well. The creature soon spots them; Sam seizes the egg and lures the beast into an endless hole, sending both the creature and the egg plummeting.

O’Hara completes the repair to the machine, and Karen moves to the scene, only to discover that what remained was not a grand machine but merely a tower left behind by the explosion. She is then killed by the creature lingering in the vicinity. Returning to their original dimension, Dr. Jillian O’Hara finds the area crowded with police and ambulances, a stark reminder of the peril that followed them back through the portal.
