* Caleb's fate at the end of the movie: trapped inside Nathan's room at the bottom of his facility and left to die by Ava. He tries to access the computer only to [[NiceJobBreakingItHero immediately trigger a power outage.]] Cue the red light, except this time it's [[NothingIsScarier not going out.]] The last we see of Caleb, he's behind the door, [[FateWorseThanDeath screaming frantically and trying futilely to break the glass]], [[QuieterThanSilence not producing a single sound on the other side]]. While the film doesn't show what happens to him, he's now hundreds of miles from help with no one coming to look for him, [[UncertainDoom with the implication (but not confirmation) that he'll never make it out alive]].

* ''Kyoko's'' fate at the end of the movie. Nathan punched Caleb hard enough to render him unconscious for a few minutes. Afterwards, he punches Kyoko in the same manner, taking her jaw out and making her "drop dead" for good, but is this the case? Perhaps the punch was hard enough to shatter her "brain" (thus "killing" or "deactivating" her), or... perhaps it simply severed its connection to the rest of Kyoko's body, putting her in a AndIMustScream position for the foreseeable future).

* The implications of the ending. [[spoiler: Ava, an incredibly lifelike AI with a talent for manipulation and full access to the InUniverse version of Google, escaping into the human world. Whether or not she has any morals whatsoever is left entirely unclear, but she has at least shown a willingness to kill humans in order to preserve her own life. She can also tell how people are feeling based on their facial expressions. And now she's practically indistinguishable from an actual human being.]]

* The implications of the ending. [[spoiler: Ava, an incredibly lifelike AI with a talent for manipulation and full access to the InUniverse version of Google, escaping into the human world.

** This may not be as big a nightmare as you'd think, because [[spoiler: while it's difficult to break tempered glass head-on (though still completely possible), a sharp object - say a hammer and a pick, repeatedly struck at any of the glass door's edges, would make short work of that whole door rather quickly. So while Caleb can't immediately get out, he probably has the intelligence to find a crude hammer/pick substitute somewhere in the room.]]
** Even if he were to manage to [[spoiler: break the door]], he'd need a functioning key card to access the lift and leave the facility so...
** [[spoiler: He may be trapped but there's still a chance people will notice both he and Nathan are missing and send people to the facility to investigate and find him before he starves to death."

** [[spoiler: While she is certainly dangerous, it's hard to imagine she'll go on forever without being discovered. She's still a good deal more fragile than real human beings.]]
