* {{Narm}}: For some, a few of Freeman's rants bring the ''[[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren and Stimpy]]'' episode "Space Madness" to mind.
* {{Padding}}: Very, ''very'' little of this film actually matters to its plot.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:
** The implications of a world with no need for an environment, or a rebel refusing to sacrifice the last piece of such, are ignored entirely in favor of watching Our Hero meander around the dome.
** A plot about an astronaut in space slowly going mad from the isolation and the guilt from murdering his fellow crewmembers? Interesting. A plot with an environmentalist message featuring an astronaut using his remaining days to teach maintenance robots to care for Earth's last forest, now preserved in a space dome? Interesting. Putting the two plots together in a single film? The result feels rather muddled and confused with its message (this was likely intentional, given that it's 70s sci-fi, but still...).
* VindicatedByHistory: The film [[InvisibleAdvertising got little to no advertising from the studio]] and therefore bombed at the box office, but now it's a CultClassic.
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Everything from the robots to the view of Saturn and its rings. After all, the movie was directed by visual effects legend Creator/DouglasTrumbull, who had also done the effects for ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''. The Saturn effects were originally meant for ''[[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey 2001]]'' but weren't ready in time, so they were used in this movie. Amazingly, the film was made with a budget of just ''one million dollars'', though it certainly doesn't look that way.
