* HilariousInHindsight: Four years prior, Creator/CarlaGugino starred in the television series ''Series/{{Threshold}}'', in which she played an TheMenInBlack-type similar to Henry Burke.

* CastIncest: Creator/AnnaSophiaRobb and Alexander Ludvig dated at one point after playing brother and sister.

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Ciaran Hinds, who tries really hard to hold it together. (Ironic, given how much later he played [[Film/JusticeLeague2017 Steppenwolf]], a villain who was derided for not helping the movie hold together due to him not being much of a threat.)

* IdiotPlot: The kids have to retrieve some technology from Earth to save their planet, so rather than send scouts to find this technology, the aliens send a bounty hunter to stop them rather than help because they really want to invade our planet...
** It's stated it's not their entire planet that wants to invade, just some of it. Sending a bounty hunter is considerably less risky than sending soldiers who might reveal you.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: [[ShootingSuperman The bullet scene]].
