* {{Expy}}: CONSENT is pretty much a [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Titans]] stand-in (combined with the Principality of Zeon), while the Illuminati is AEUG. On a related note, the Bugus are pretty much Zakus with a hint of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED GINNs]] while the Freedoms are [=GMs=] (they ''are'' part of the RGM-series).

* SchizoTech: ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory]]''-era tech like beam shields co-exist with Mobile Suits that wouldn't look out of place in the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam One Year War]]. [[AllThereInTheManual Supplemental materials explain this]]: much of mobile suit technology was lost in the wars during Earth Federation decline, while MS development was hamstrung by bureaucratic red tape.

* AttackDrone: MW-Rais are built from the ground-up to be AI-piloted mobile suits. [[spoiler: Two of them kills General Garneaux and Mimi, as the civilian transport they're in (ironically meant to avoid attracting Illuminati forces) are flagged as a hostile by the Rais.]]



* TheCavalry: [[spoiler:The Illuminati's mobile suits arrive to aid Gaia's defenders just in time after Jack has been defeated]].
* CurbStompBattle: The [[RedshirtArmy Gaian Freedoms]] ([[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED not that one]]) are helpless against the [[{{Mooks}} CONSENT Bugus]] during the FinalBattle, [[spoiler:only winning the battle through Mark's and the Illuminati's help]]. Justified; [[AllThereInTheManual it's mentioned in bonus materials]] for the movie that the Freedom was completely outdated by the time of the movie (though it still [[SchizoTech doesn't explain why the other suits are as well]]).
** The real justification is that the Gaian Freedoms are piloted by civilians with no piloting skills or experience, and their CONSENT enemies are well-trained professional mobile suit pilots.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Using mobile suits that are piloted by civilians with no military experience to fight against well trained professional mobile suit pilots would have ended in disaster[[spoiler: if not for intervention of the [[TheCavalry Illuminati]]]].

* MeaningfulName: Side 8, also known as Gaia. The bioluminescence formula, created by Gaian scientists (namely Cynthia and Rigo) that can be used to sustain plant life and thus, solve the food crisis. As if the naming wasn't obvious enough, the colony even has its own greenhouse.

* SchizoTech: Sort of; despite taking place 70 years after ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]]'', the mobile suits in this movie are technologically disadvantaged when compared to those from ''Victory Gundam''. One IMDB review pointed out that they're more outdated than '''''even those from the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam One]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket Year]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam War]]'''''.

Aside from the Universal Century setting, the movie has almost ''nothing'' to do with ''Gundam'' overall. This, combined with the poor production qualities (a repeat from [[Film/{{Gunhed}} Sunrise's previous botched Tokusatsu attempt]]), has resulted in [[FanonDiscontinuity fans]] and [[CanonDiscontinuity Sunrise]] alike trying to pretend it never happened, but not officially barring it from canon.

The novelization and the [=PS2=] game, on the other hand, were praised for being much more faithful to the franchise.

* {{Zeerust}}: Not unusual for ''Gundam''. Notably, Garneaux's TV is laughably outdated by today's standards. On the plus side it can be activated just by snapping your finger.

!!The [=PS2=] game provides examples of:

* WhamLine: In the video game:
--> '''Rysis''': [[spoiler:Race... The bug is identified... It must be deleted...]]
--> '''Reed''': [[spoiler:Bug...? Raven, is a [[MechaMooks Mobile Weapon]]!?]]
