Everybody's Dead, Dave | |
| Super Comet: After the Impact / int_22f6000b | comment |
Everybody's Dead, Dave: While the members of the Baka tribe who have found refuge from the global firestorm in a cave discuss the possibility of sending someone out to look for the people who didn't make it there with them, one of the men braves the heat long enough to peer outside. What he sees is enough to convince him there's no point in looking for other survivors. | |

Hollywood Acid | |
| Super Comet: After the Impact / int_3133d1d7 | comment |
Hollywood Acid: Averted. In the immediate aftermath of the impact, Hawaii is hit by a rain that is acidic enough to burn skin. It's not lethal, however, and Noah is able to stand under it for several seconds before taking cover and emerge relatively unharmed. Thanks to sulfur compounds ejected into the atmosphere by the impact, most sources of water on the planet become mildly acidic. However, the acidity itself isn't enough to be harmful. What is harmful are the heavy metal compounds the acid draws out of the soil, contaminating water sources with concentrations of heavy metals that will eventually grow high enough to become toxic. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Mixed with a dose of "Ray of Hope" Ending. Many die in the impact and its aftermath, including Fernando. However, many people survive and humanity is implied to be on the path to recovery from the disaster. Noah and Shiang are alive and had a baby together, and the Vuitton family is reunited. | |

Comet of Doom: The titular comet. During the months of its approach, people are shown frequently glancing up at the sky, well aware that if the mission to deflect it fails, it will collide with the Earth, with disastrous consequences for humanity. When it finally hits, it does indeed spell doom for most of mankind. | |

Wham Shot: Fernando climbs a tall hill made from gravel in the faint hope that food, water, or some sign of his family might be on the other side. We see his face appear over the top, his expression crumple into one of despair ...and then the camera pulls back to reveal the 200 km- (125 mile) wide impact crater, which even months after the comet is still a pool of seething lava. Then the view widens even further to reveal the hundreds of miles of scorched, lifeless landscape around it, underscoring that Fernando has no chance of survival. | |

Subverted, however, when Henry manages to break the tension by offering their captors a case of cigarettes he was carrying. The attackers back down and immediately release Michelle, explaining that they've run into other groups who weren't so benign. | |

Threatening Shark: Justified. Shiang is dragged into the water and nearly eaten after she accidentally hooks a shark while fishing. The narration points out that the shark wouldn't normally attack a human; however, the ocean's ecosystem has been devastated along with everything else, and it's starving and desperate. | |

From Bad to Worse | |
| Super Comet: After the Impact / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: Repeatedly. The comet's impact completely obliterates everything within 1500 km (1000 miles) of the impact site within seconds, but that's only the beginning of Earth's problems. First every coastal city on the Atlantic Ocean is hit by a massive tsunami. Then debris re-entering the atmosphere turns the entire planet into an oven. Then all the ash and ejected matter in the atmosphere triggers a global winter that devastates the ecosystem... | |

Just Before the End: The beginning of the film occurs only days before the end, with people across the world preparing for the comet's impacting and hoping that the probe launched at the comet will work to deflect it. It's not even a spoiler to say it doesn't, given the title of the documentary. | |

Apocalypse How | |
| Super Comet: After the Impact / int_91e894b4 | comment |
Apocalypse How: A Class 1 — societal disruption on a global scale — occurs before the comet even hits as people scramble to evacuate the impact zone and prepare for what will come after. The impact itself completely wipes out everything within 1000 miles (1500 km) and causes a Class 2 — planetary scale societal collapse — for the rest of the world as civilization is ravaged by massive firestorms in the following hours. This quickly threatens to become a Class 4 as the impact winter descends and the cold and lack of sunlight wipe out countless species. The ending implies that the worst has passed and humanity will pull through, making the ultimate outcome a Class 2. | |

Black Dude Dies First | |
| Super Comet: After the Impact / int_9788e2b1 | comment |
Black Dude Dies First: Completely subverted for a tribe in Cameroon, who are set up as having no knowledge of the comet and thus being unable to prepare. However, though they do lose members, almost all of them survive. Zig-zagged with Chad, a scientist at the observatory. He is first shown saying goodbye to Noah a few hours before the impact and driving off to an Uncertain Doom. He later reappears as the leader of a small band of survivors and takes Noah and Shiang along when they leave the island on a yacht. His ultimate fate is left unclear, though he presumably drowns along with the rest of the group in the storm that destroys the yacht. | |

Heat Wave | |
| Super Comet: After the Impact / int_99ff79ee | comment |
Heat Wave: The comet's impact hurls debris all the way into space; when it falls back to Earth, the heat of reentry triggers the most extreme form of this, raising the entire planet to 400 degrees Celsius (750 F). These temperatures are enough to set just about everything that can burn on fire and cook anyone who doesn't find adequate shelter alive. | |

I Choose to Stay | |
| Super Comet: After the Impact / int_add931af | comment |
I Choose to Stay: Noah and Shiang both choose to stay at the observatory during the impact rather than go home to their families. Noah's parents are deceased, and he implies that being able to watch the stars brings back fond memories of them. Shiang stays in part due to the futility of trying to get a seat on a plane as everyone else on the island also clamors to leave and in part because she wants to collect as much data about the impact as possible. | |

All for Nothing | |
| Super Comet: After the Impact / int_aed65980 | comment |
All for Nothing: In the months leading up to the impact, governments stockpile food and medical supplies, evacuate the impact zone and coastal areas on the Atlantic, and designate shelters, all with the goal of keeping as many people alive through the impact and its aftermath as possible. While these preparations greatly reduce the number of deaths caused by the initial impact, they don't do much to help with the longer-term consequences. The EMP generated by the impact and the global firestorms caused by ejecta re-entering the atmosphere destroy all government infrastructure almost immediately, leaving the survivors to fend for themselves. Poor Fernando. His entire quest is dedicated to finding his family...who are already dead. And he dies at the impact crater, alone. | |

Lost Common Knowledge: It's made abundantly clear that in the wake of the societal collapse caused by the impact, much of humanity's technological progress and scientific knowledge will be lost. Shiang stays at the observatory in an effort to defy this trope by collecting and preserving as much scientific data as she can, and she is shown carrying printouts of geologic data with her when she and Noah leave in search of other survivors. | |

Four Lines, All Waiting: The documentary follows four groups of survivors: Fernando, who is searching for his family in the area close to the impact site; Noah and Shiang, scientists who helped study the comet and are stranded on the Hawaiian islands; the Vuittons, an ordinary family who lived in Paris; and the Baka Pygmy tribe in Cameroon, who were Locked Out of the Loop and had no time to prepare for the comet's arrival. | |

Locked Out of the Loop | |
| Super Comet: After the Impact / int_f06b07ff | comment |
Locked Out of the Loop: The Baka tribe in Cameroon, Africa, are so isolated from the rest of the world that news of the comet's impending arrival never reaches them. For them, the first sign that their lives are about to change forever is a massive fireball passing overhead seconds before the comet hits. Despite this, they fare very well through the ensuing string of disasters, and many of their members survive to the end. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
| Super Comet: After the Impact / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": The narration avoids using the words "died" or "killed" in favor of saying that life has "been extinguished". Averted by Henry Vuitton. After a drunk man carelessly throws a bottle over his balcony and it smashes on the sidewalk near the Vuittons as they pass by, Henry yells at him, pointing out that he could have killed someone. | |

Darkest Hour: Practically the whole film is spent showing how FUBAR society and the world is after the impact strike. One after another, people die and places are destroyed in ensuing disasters. | |

MacGyvering: Fernando uses a table and the harnesses and leashes belonging to the dogs he found to rig up a sled for the supplies he takes from the army bunker. He then hitches it to the dogs so they can pull it for him. | |
