History YMMV / Ark

* ClicheStorm: How many sci-fi tropes has this film touched? TheChosenOne? A plucky LaResistance leader? An unlikely friendship between two members of a warring alien race? The BigBad being an EvilVizier? Giant mechas? Check, check, and '''double check'''.

* CompleteMonster: [[EvilChancellor Baramanda]], the vizier of [[PuppetKing Empress Cathebel]], seeks the titular Ark to [[ImmortalitySeeker gain immortality]], intending to use the machine for his own selfish purposes. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment Introduced]] torturing arrested Cevean prisoners and having them executed via life-draining parasitic worms, draining them into lifeless husks with a massive dose of BodyHorror, Baramanda seeks the descendant of the Cevean High Priestess Amiel, necessary for his immortality. Learning Amarinth's true heritage as Amiel's daughter, Baramanda have Amarinth's adoptive father Jallak sentenced to public execution to force her out of hiding, [[ILied before ordering Jallak's death anyway when Amarinth surrenders]]. Baramanda had his loyal chief scientist, Dr. Anders, shot when she called him [[YouMonster a monster]] after learning he intends to allow Alcyeon's destruction while he becomes immortal, forces Anders's assistant Higgins to activate the Ark for him at gunpoint, and subjects Amarinth to having her blood forcefully extracted in order to gain her DNA necessary for the Ark's activation, a process which causes Amarinth much pain and torture. Taking over the Ark and going on a city-wide rampage, killing millions in the process, Baramanda is more than willing to condemn both the Storrian and Cevean races to their extinction [[ImmortalityImmorality if it means he can live forever]].

* HarsherInHindsight: In the film proper, Rogan is the only named character to survive the events of Alcyeon's destruction. In real life though, among the voice actors Creator/KirbyMorrow is the first to pass on in 2020.
