* CriticalResearchFailure:
** One of the students is designated an astronaut, a profession which ''everyone'' else considers irrelevant in the event of an apocalypse, to the point she ''herself'' votes against getting into the bunker. However, astronauts are expected to be highly qualified in either engineering, biological science, physical science, or mathematics, in addition to being in peak physical condition. Given that Petra, an engineer, is allowed in because of her job, this mistake is glaring -- until one considers they're in high school and might be at the level to make this mistake.
** The hedge fund manager's worth is reevaluated after the reveal that she's carrying millions of dollars' worth of precious gems and gold, ostensibly for bartering. This ignores the fact that gems and gold are ''luxuries'' and their worth is limited to developed societies with established access to basic necessities. No amount of gems will directly grow food, or make clothes, or build homes; the group will have to sit on those resources for years before they become valuable. However, just like in case of the astronaut, it's both the mistake on side of the students ''and'' an abstract parameter within the scenario, rather than a solid fact.

* PeripheryDemographic: The entire mental exercise and Mr. Zimit antics are eerily similar to that of a KillerGM, {{Railroading}} the whole party into doing what he wants and killing them all off the second his scenario goes OffTheRails, while the students are desperately trying to use every loophole they can to keep going and hope for a win. Which makes the film suprisingly popular within TabletopRPG crowd.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The film's advertised setup is a group of philosophy students debating who are best suited to survive an apocalypse and rebuild. Unfortunately it's a bad-faith premise since the teacher has an underhanded objective to target a particular student and show off how effective his own reasoning is. He sabotages each scenario with WordOfGod and RocksFallEveryoneDies, rendering the students' discussion largely pointless. The film's true plot about the love triangle and intellectual struggle between Zimit and Petra is worthwhile, but it undercuts the advertised premise entirely.

* {{Squick}}: Once you realise [[spoiler: the whole exercise is a massive set-up by Zimit and he had a romance with Petra]], the second scenario becomes this. All elements are arranged in such fashion that his character will [[spoiler: be matched with Petra's to keep trying to make a baby together. To make it crystal clear: he sets up the whole damn exercise just to have virtual sex with the student that broke off with him]]. And she's aware this is all made on purpose.

* RomanticPlotTumor: A rather nasty case, as it comes out of the blue and dominates over the final act, leading directly to EndingFatigue - the class and the exercise is over, while ten minutes of running time still remain.

Throughout the film, she does little to demonstrate exactly why this is, instead preferring to completely disregard logic in favour of emotional thinking and thus completely negating the purpose of the thought-experiments being presented. [[spoiler:Of course, the fact that she and Zimit had a relationship PreCanon might have something to do with him flattering her in such a way, as well as giving the potential explanation that she's ''deliberately'' being illogical throughout the film to get back at him.]]
