* RomanticPlotTumor: Viewers waiting for a more faithful adaptation to the book expressed disappointment that the film eschewed most of the plot points of the book in favor of a LoveTriangle between the leads taking up most of the plot instead of the cat-and-mouse sci-fi thriller of the book, so much so that the film can come off as an in-name-only adaptation.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Aside massive changes in the plot itself, the film turns into another by-the-numbers "faith vs. science" deal while making Ann deeply religious, all handled with a subtelity of a bull in a china store.

* FollowTheLeader: The decision to add a romantic subplot to the movie was likely made in the wake of the large number of successful dystopian romance films in the 2010s.

* CriticalDissonance: The film did rather well with critics (Rotten Tomatoes gives it a critical score of 80%), but fared far worse with audiences (the site's audience score sits at only 45%), and was a BoxOfficeBomb. In its three week-run, it took in only $121,461.

* NightmareFuel: Imagine being in Ann's position. Living on your own with no one around, with the possibility that you may be all alone in the world now. She even admits that she refused to let herself think about ''when the food runs out.''
** What her family found on their first trip outside the valley, as well as Ann's description of what she sees when she climbs to the valley's edge: she calls it "the deadness" because everything, even the plants and trees, are dead and brown. Made extra horrifying by the fact that her family hadn't intended to be gone very long on their second trip -- it's implied that things were so bad that a short excursion was enough to kill them all before they could get home.
