YMMV / The Divide

• Awesome Music: The soundtrack by Jean Pierre Taieb, with "After My Fate" being a standout track.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Essentially the whole situation with the bio-suited soldiers. There is no foreshadowing of them, there is no explanation about who they are and what they are doing, they are never mentioned again later on (although the gear taken from the ones that are killed become Chekhovs Guns). They are an important step in making Marilyn The Woobie, but no other character is directly affected on an emotional way by their appearance (and you could argue that what is done to her within the basement is worse and would still have happened with her kid around or not).
• Cry for the Devil: Mickey, of all people, becomes the most sympathetic out of the cast in the movie as he's the only one with any common sense. Many viewers state that Mickey didn't have to take those people in, and their reckless actions doomed everyone, including him. Despite his strict rules, they were understandable, such as keeping the food hidden to ration it or preventing anyone from leaving so they could wait out the radiation. While some viewers point out the character's rash moves and descent into insanity is what would happen realistically, Mickey could have saved all their lives if the main cast sucked it up, calmed down, and listened to him.
• Nobody Poops: When Mickey is freed from the wheelchair after at least a few days, there is no hardened feces under his rear. Justified by the fact that very few people want to see that, even by the standards of this movie.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: The whole movie is about how people tear each other apart because of Cabin Fever and other tensions during an After the End scenario, and the ways they go around performing said tearing apart... and then there is the final scene where Eva escapes, but has been maddened into misanthropy just like everybody else (witness her stone-faced reaction to Mickey's screaming pleas for help (because she locked him in with the fire consuming the shelter)) and she is stuck in the middle of an irradiated New York with only a bagful of supplies and maybe the psycho Special Forces still out there. The situation is unrelentingly bleak, ends up completely devoid of hope, and probably never even had it to begin with (quite fitting with the Tag Line "the lucky ones died in the blast").
• The Woobie: Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn.
