YMMV / Terror from the Year 5000

Go To

  • Designated Hero: Who is the hero of this movie?
    • Not Bob, his major contribution to the movie was uncovering Victor's secret experiments and his Jerkass Nature, but that's because everyone else is Captain Oblivious. After that, he does nothing important.
    • Victor? Hell no! Guy is a douchebag since scene one, always whining about something, acting like he owns the place, and doing the experiments, regardless of the risks. And in the last part of the movie, he suddenly becomes important... and makes a Heroic Sacrifice.
    • Claire? She jumps on Bob the minute he arrives but still gets angry when the Terror tries to seduce Victor.
    • The Terror is clearly the hero. After all she's the only one with a noble goal of saving the future.
  • Nightmare Retardant: The Terror's deformed face is ostensibly meant to be, well, terrifying, but mostly just looks comical and silly, complete with buck teeth (something already hard to make intimidating) that jut out from her underbite.
  • Retroactive Recognition: The Terror is Salome Jens, the female Changeling, Mae Olinski and Ma Kent.
  • Romantic Plot Tumor: Emphasis on the tumor.
