* ArmorIsUseless: It's understandable that the future assault rifles cuts through the soldiers' armor - they're MagneticWeapons with armor-piercing rounds. However the armor also doesn't protect against Laura shooting them with a modern FN rifle or even Future Adam punching the soldiers unconscious with his bare hands.

* CrapsackWorld: 2050 is described as the opening of ''Film/TheTerminator'' on its GOOD days. [[spoiler:Part of the reason for that may be that Maya Sorian had her younger self invest in companies that aren't known for being environmentally friendly.]]

* DisappearedDad: Louis died sometime before the events of the movie, and it's not until 2018 that he appears.
* DoomTroops: Maya's forces. Wearing all black? Check. Heavily armored? Check. Masked to hide their humanity? Check. Slightly Distorted Voices? Check. Dreaded? Despite their foes' mookish buffoonery, Adam and Laura do think of them as a real threat - heck the couple used to be part of that group.

to:

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Past Adam attempts to fight off Christos using his future self's weapon, with the moment being set up like a BigDamnHeroes moment. Of course, being a weak 12-year-old kid who could barely handle people his own size, he realistically doesn't stand a chance against a fully grown trained soldier; thus, he gets taken out in one blow by Christos.

* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Future Sorian [[spoiler: trying to gun down Adam's father didn't work as expected, the powerful magnetic accelerator caught the steel-core bullet and redirected it right into Past Maya - killing her and negating her world-conquering plans for the future.]]

* MagneticWeapons: With the future being so heavily influenced by an university magnetic accelerator - it's no wonder there's a boom in magnetically-based weaponry. Those future rifles shooting the glowing blue bolts aren't lasers. They're magnetic accelerators using steel-core bullets (though the pistols are just regular ballistic weapons [[OurWeaponsWillBeBoxyInTheFuture but more futuristic-looking]]) plus Adam's "laser sword"/staff weapon is called a Mag-Cyl and has various electromagnetic abilities.

* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Adam's plane is DNA locked to him to the point of AwesomeButImpractical - just from being injured, the time jet rejects the owner as having compromised DNA so Future Adam needed Young Adam just to open the jet. It does make a fridge logic sort of sense; it's an anti-theft system in case the pilot were being forced to take off or give someone else access to the tech.

* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Laura, who was previously thought to have been killed by Maya in 2018, winds up still being alive in 2022, much to Adam's surprise. She [[spoiler:unfortunately ends up getting KilledOffForReal by Maya not too long after this was revealed]],[[spoiler:but lives in the timeline created after time travel is destroyed]].

* SpottingTheThread: Past Adam notes that the stranger knew how to get into his dad's garage and how to close the fridge, as well as how to time his breathing. [[ScarsAreForever They also have the same twelve stitches under their chins]] and they're both wearing the same watch.
