Notes

add »
This is the last time in the series Ben goes alien four times. (edit)
Not all Plumbers were fighters like Grandpa Max. Most were scientists and researchers. (edit)
This is the last official movie/episode of Ben 10 where we have at least one Omnitrix mistransformation. (edit)
Gwen is able to recognize the shards on the floor as Diamond Head's. The rest of the kids think they are just broken glass. (edit)
Eon is the second alien form that was able to repress Ben's personality. The first one was Ghostfreak. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Mrs. Dalton: Let's get plumbin'! (edit)
Sandra: Where are they?
Carl: Don't worry, honey. I'm sure Ben and Gwen are out there somewhere, getting sectioned... (edit)
Gwen: (to Ben) On a scale of one to ten of the dumbest things you've ever done, I'd say this is a fifteen. (edit)
Grandpa Max: I promise I won't let anything happen to you.
Ben: Good, 'cause I promise I won't let anything happen to you, too, Grandpa. (edit)
Ben: Wow, has this been under here the whole time?
Gwen: No, they just put it in last week. (rolls eyes) (edit)

Trivia

add »
When the Rust Bucket exploded, that was the end of the Rust Bucket 1. Even Upgrade couldn't put it back together again. (edit)
Look Closely: At the very end of the movie, you see something in the air forming, then turning into a red star flying away, which is probably Vilgax's ship. (edit)
Running Gag: Principal White is looking for a particular key in his giant key-chain. (edit)
When the Omnitrix times out in the movie, the timing-out beeping is faster than in the cartoon series. (edit)
All the Plumbers in the movie wear safety vests, instead of the iconic blue nano-suits from the cartoon series. (edit)

Eon: Appearance and Character
Eon seems partially based off Darth Vader, one of the primary villains of the original Star Wars trilogy. Examples are his dark appearance, his mask and when Eon kills one of the aliens who served him for its failure. Christian Anholt, the actor who plays Eon, also openly stated he was a Star Wars fan of Darth Vader. (edit)
