* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Divorced from its own merits as a film, a lot of the mixed reception it initially got was because of the fact that it's a Daft Punk movie without any Daft Punk music...and it's a Daft Punk movie that's [[LeFilmArtistique an extended dialogue free tone poem about what it means to be human]]. Since the last Daft Punk film ''Anime/Interstella5555'' was a fairly straightforward adaptation of the ''Discovery'' album, it definitely confused a lot of people who were expecting the follow up album ''Human After All'' to get a similar treatment.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: The human masks the main characters get. They try to resemble humans, but they just look ''wrong''. The fact that they are exaggerated, distorted versions of the real-life band's faces (Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo) also helps sell the off-kilter nature of the masks.

* BrokenBase: Almost everyone who's seen the film agrees that [[LeaveTheCameraRunning it seriously takes its time]], most infamously the extended montage of the main duo silently walking across the desert.
