    • Trivia
      The names of several of the main characters are never mentioned or shown in the movie, and are only revealed by the cast credits in the closing titles. This applies to Georgina (Bonnie Wright), Yoshiko (Natasha Gott), Utami (Cinta Laura Kiehl) and Kavi (Abhi Sinha), even though most of them had prominent roles in the movie.
    • Goofs
      In the bunker where they lock the teacher behind, he dies from radiation poisoning. He is then later eaten by predatory dogs/wolves.

      Any creature large enough to feed on a human would have also died from the exact same radiation poisoning long before it ever got the chance to eat his body.

      Even the lower radiation would have killed it on the surface if it'd had been living underground.

    Philosophy? Really?
    The idea behind it is great, but I do not think anyone can actually create a film from that idea that an educated audience or anyone who has taken a philosophy class would find acceptable. I will not go into details as there are far too many instances in every scene of the film that make you question the believability that these students have ever taken a single philosophy class.

    To enjoy this film I feel you need to ignore the played out apocalyptic scenarios completely and only focus on the two lead characters and the teacher and take it for what it is. If you are expecting to watch a film that is intelligent and driven by strong performances you will be sadly let down. You could seriously watch this film with your television on mute and understand the story just as well.
