1* AllStarCast: In addition to the big draws of Creator/RyanReynolds and Creator/JakeGyllenhaal, Creator/HiroyukiSanada will be familiar to fans of the under-appreciated ''Film/{{Sunshine}}''. In addition to the AllStarCast, Naoko Mori has a cameo in the film.
2* BillingDisplacement: [[spoiler: While Ryan Reynolds is billed as the third person on the film posters, he is the first crew member to bite the dust.]]
3* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $58 million. Box office, $30 million (domestic), $100 million (worldwide).
4* DuelingWorks: With ''Film/AlienCovenant''. Both are big-name cast SciFiHorror movies released in early 2017 wherein a hostile alien lifeform infects a spaceship and kills off the crew after they investigate a mysterious planet, [[spoiler: and conclude with severely downer endings]]. Especially watching both trailers back-to-back in the theater feels ''way'' too much like deja-vu.
5* FakeAmerican: As per usual, [[Creator/RyanReynolds Ryan Reynolds]], who is Canadian, plays American engineer Rory Adams.
6* NeverTrustATrailer: The trailer makes it seem like Calvin's species wiped out life on Mars HordeOfAlienLocusts style. At no point is this ever said in the movie. The film merely speculates that these creatures were the dominant predators of ancient Mars, making the ending seem considerably less apocalyptic.
