I don't know the name of that movie...!!!
« on: March 16, 2025, 09:40:48 AM »
Hi, as anyone ever seen a movie, or caught the last few minutes of a show, and cannot remember the name?

Several years ago, I saw the last 10 mins. of a movie on SyFy (once called The Sci-Fi Channel), and never caught the name.  It was shot in the documentary style, set in the north African desert, with a bunch of American scientists that discovered something buried in the sand.  It was a large artificial structure, implying an extra-terrestrial origin.  As they stayed longer, paranoia and violence was increasing.  A couple people escaped in car, moments before the site exploded with no survivors.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?  It's been bugging me for years.

Gently I stir a white feather fan,
With open shirt sitting in a green wood.
I take off my cap and hang it on a jutting stone;
A wind from the pine-tree trickles on my bare head.

Is it on this list?
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls033801058/

Wow, that list is quite extensive. Still, I didn't see anything that caught my eye. It was before 2020, as I was still in my old place.

Look at; "Stargate Origins: Catherine" that came out in 2018.  It was a miniseries based off the Stargate movie/tv show franchise and was set in the Egyptian desert in the late 1930's

No, the movie I was thinking of was set in modern times.

It doesn't look like it.  I tried to email SyFy directly, no reply yet.
