Tropes in this movie

New Tech Leads to Disaster

About this trope: A new technology or discovery is introduced and initially celebrated, then reveals hidden dangers that escalate to catastrophe. The arc is: marvel > adoption > warning signs ignored > disaster.

Man-Made Monsters

About this trope: A creator uses science to overstep natural boundaries — creating life, resurrecting the dead, engineering organisms, or fundamentally altering nature — and the creation turns destructive.

Nature Fights Back

About this trope: Humanity's exploitation or destruction of the environment triggers catastrophic consequences — nature retaliates through disasters, plagues, animal attacks, or ecological collapse, as if the planet itself is punishing human arrogance.
