** We never actually hear Api's full backstory in his own words, we only hear Joanne telling Zac about it. Was she telling the truth, or was she just doing what she said she'd do: finding (or inventing) good in Api's bad actions just because she liked him?

* FridgeBrilliance: Zac's observations about the world around him reveal that universal physical constants, such as the electrical charge of an electron are changing. A different gravitational constant could explain how in the ending Earth and Saturn are so close to each other without catastrophic consequences.

* AdaptationDisplacement: Justified. The film was released worldwide; for a long time the book was difficult to find even in New Zealand and nearly impossible to lay hands on elsewhere. It was finally reprinted in 2013.

** Also the body of Zac's coworker is pretty obviously a dummy.
* UnfortunateImplications: The only character who isn't white in the film is rough and violent and obviously has military training, in sharp contrast to the other characters.
** Zac and Joanne's conversation as they're setting off to look for survivors.
--->'''Zac:''' We might find all manner of horrors. Politicians... Transvestites...
** Shortly before this conversation, Zac had gone on a highly destructive rampage while wearing nothing but a woman's slip. YMMV on whether or not this makes it worse.

* ConflictBall: Api's apparently holding this when he tells Joanne why he and his best mate had been fighting. The way he phrases it seems to be meant only to cause a conflict between himself and Joanne and prompt a fight that Zac unwittingly is pulled into. If he'd told the whole truth, all of that could've been avoided.
