* SignatureScene: The plane crash.



* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: OK, the film was stupid, but the plane crash and the solar flare both look awesome.

* InferredHolocaust: A rare example of one of these occurring in a movie with an actual [[spoiler:holocaust. The kids are, in theory, the only survivors, but they are placed on a rural planet with no obvious ability to do anything else.]]

I think this is all intentional on the part of the aliens. They weren't being stupid.


* IdiotPlot: You're a Random not-quite-Omnipotent Being, and you know that TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt is going to happen to Earth fifty years from now. Do you:
** A: Write a letter explaining what's going to happen and when, apologize for not being able to do anything to prevent it, and give humanity blueprints for an FTL drive or DeflectorShields or some other technology that might help us save ourselves, or...
** B: Leave us a bunch of cryptic clues in the mind of a seventh-grader, driving the poor girl insane in the process, and then turning up a matter of hours before the shit hits the fan to grab a handful of children for some sort of AdamAndEvePlot?
** Guess which option describes the plot of this film. And no, the obvious AlternateCharacterInterpretation and its side-order of FridgeHorror does ''not'' appear to have been intentional on the part of the director.

* EsotericHappyEnding: [[spoiler: Almost everybody is killed as the entire planet is incinerated, but some 30-odd kids survived and went to a wonderful Garden of Eden-esque place! [[ArtisticLicenseBiology And they're gonna repopulate the human race!]] Plus, since the aliens only saved a handful of prepubescent children and refused to rescue even one of the most highly-educated adults on the planet, their concern is clearly preserving human DNA, not human culture or civilization. [[FridgeHorror Why]]? Are they breeding slaves? Cattle?]]
