Line 4:
* My problem isn't that they think plants can do that, but that after it was over no one seemed at all afraid of plants. I mean the main characters still kept plants in their house after the big event.
** In real life, humanity would essentially declare war on plants, destroying every park in the world, harvesting food being done by specially trained people in air-tight scuba suits, consolidating population in cities where plants are outlawed, and probably just setting forests on fire just to be safe.
** Hell, we'd probably build domed cities where all food products are [[Soylent Green|artificial]] or originating from animals. Plants absolutely necessary for food production would probably be subjected to containment procedures rivaling the [[SCP Foundation (Wiki)|SCP Foundation]]. Defoliants, napalm, and fuel-air explosives would be dropped across ''the entire world'', and [[Necessarily Evil|fuck whoever doesn't get inside the domes in time]]. If you look at human history, particularly during the [[Cold War]], we place our own survival way above that of plants.
* Ok, plants suddenly evolve the ability to emit neurotoxin because humans are harming them. That's stupid, but whatever. But ''all'' plants? Why the hell would some plants want to turn against us? Humanity devotes massive amounts of time and energy to care for many species of plants, ensuring they have good soil, are pest-free, and are always watered. We've even ensured that some species will never go extinct due to seeds being stored in underground bunkers in case of doomsday scenarioes. Frankly, for some plants, they've never had a better friend than humanity - so why the hell would they screw up that cushy deal by killing us all?
** Group pressure? Coercion? Maybe the plants will have a civil war in the future, who knows...
Line 12:
* How on God's green (*snicker*) earth do people shoot themselves with a pistol ''in the top of their foreheads''? Most people would put the gun in their mouths or in the lower part of their skulls, but instead these people in the long, tracking shot must be holding their arms waaaaaay up to shoot themselves. (Never mind the neat, clean bullet holes.)
* Mark Whalberg has a headscratcher for the director in the [[Gag Reel]].
{{quote| "Why are we knocking on the door of a building that is boarded up and looks like no one lives there? What makes us think there's food in there?"}}
* What kind of right-minded science teacher EVER uses the phrase, "It's just a theory?"
** I could answer that, but [[Rule Of Cautious Editing|I'd better not]].
