8
9	!Tropes for the film:
10	* AsYouKnow: [[WrenchWench Ardene]] is fitting an Icarus suit onto [[OldSoldier Dash]] while explaining what it is for the audience's benefit. SnarkToSnarkCombat ensues.
11	-->'''Dash:''' Who do you think I am?
12	-->'''Ardene:''' General Ford's drinking buddy?
13	-->'''Dash:''' You never heard of the [[HeroOfAnotherStory Red Rider of Puga, the Slayer of Eos]]?
14	-->'''Ardene:''' Must have been [[StealthInsult before my time]].
15	* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: During a battle between [[TheVirus alien-assimilated humans]] and soldiers, the commander finds a hysterical female soldier who insists that she's been infected. He tells her to PullYourselfTogether and hands her a pistol to fight the aliens, which she instead uses to [[RemovingTheHeadOrDestroyingTheBrain blow her brains out]].
16	* BraidsOfAction: Sol Cantos (played by [[Wrestling/RusevAndLana Lana]]), the Elloran soldier who wields a {{BFG}}, has braided hair colored a bright yellow. This makes her stick out somewhat in the woods, but from appearances the unit she is with are MildlyMilitary.
17	* BrakeAngrily: Done for an OhCrap when someone calls up General Eron Ryle as he's driving home. The general is trying to [[PulledFromYourDayOff foist the job off to someone else]] when he's informed that someone has made FirstContact with an alien race, causing him to slam on the brakes. The use of this trope is probably why he's not driving one of the {{Flying Car}}s we see in the distance.
18	* DecontaminationChamber: When the crew of the spacecraft who've made FirstContact have to go into decontamination, over the objections of the scientist who would rather debrief them right away while their memories ares still fresh. And if [[ScientistVsSoldier they had spent less time arguing over it]], they might have noticed the blatant VirusVictimSymptoms on the crew before they started to KillAllHumans.
19	* DoomsdayDevice: The Q Bomb that the FirstContactTeam take on their mission.
20	-->'''Braxton:''' Maybe [[TakingYouWithMe we blow us and them]] all to hell when [[AlienInvasion their fleet arrives]]?
21	-->'''Ardene:''' Well, [[WeaponsThatSuck technically we'd all be sucked to hell]] in the black hole the Q-Bomb creates.
22	-->'''Braxton:''' Well being [[DoubleEntendre sucked off]] by the universe doesn't sound like the worst way to go.
23	* FirstContactTeam: Subverted. The team assembled within minutes of receiving word via SubspaceAnsible of a hostile FirstContact is actually an illegal military strike force with a DoomsdayDevice; the belief being that humanity [[OutsideContextProblem really can't afford to give the aliens the benefit of the doubt]] when facing a TechnologicallyAdvancedFoe.
24	* GenocideDilemma: First contact with an alien species turns hostile and within hours the military launch an illegal mission to destroy the alien homeworld with a Doomsday Device. Various issues are raised - are they going to wipe out an entire alien species for what could be acts of a rogue faction? Should they commit genocide regardless because this is the only way humanity can survive an OutsideContextProblem? [[DebateAndSwitch All these issues are put to a stop]] by revealing a massive invasion fleet ready to come through a portal gate, and having an alien-possessed human do some EvilGloating about how the aliens are an [[TheAssimilator assimilating]] HiveMind of [[MasterRace apex predators]] [[ProudWarriorRace whose entire culture is based on war]].
25	* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: Corey Large previously worked with Willis on ''Breach''.
26	* JustFollowingOrders: General James Ford (Creator/BruceWillis) is despised for using a [[DoomsdayDevice Q-Bomb]] to end a planetary revolt, killing 70 million people. He claims he was just following orders, only for it to be pointed out that he actually gave the order himself. Fortunately the next time he uses a Q-Bomb on his own volition it's to stop an AlienInvasion, so the politicians pretend he was acting on their orders to share the credit.
27	* TheLastManHeardAKnock: A couple on a scouting expedition to another planet are about to have sex [[MomentKiller when the woman hears something]]. The man is amused as they literally have the entire planet to themselves, and to prove it fires his gun at random into the darkness. [[DoNotTauntCthulhu Cue sinister growling from the hostile aliens]] who have just landed on the planet.
28	* SelfDestructMechanism: Gen. Ryle decides to [[HeroicSacrifice destroy the alien portal gate]] by detonating the fuel in his spacesuit. Unfortunately the suit's AI won't activate the self-destruct because it detects a live person inside the suit. So he gives an order to blast him with the orbital cannon, and his own nephew is the one who has to pull the trigger.
29	* ScientistVsSoldier: James Ford is a former general who became disgraced and divorced after using a DoomsdayDevice to end a revolt. He's assigned to [[WorkingWithTheEx work with his ex-wife]] Dr. Lea Goss, who as a young student wrote a thesis advocating genocide in response to an OutsideContextProblem but is having second thoughts when faced with actual FirstContact.
