Notes

add »
Way Big was revealed to Ben by Azmuth with a deliberate transformation to defeat Vilgax's elite force. (edit)
Omnitrix Malfunctions:
Stinkfly-Grey Matter
XLR8-Wildmutt (edit)
Vilgax escaped the Null Void by luck, he found a portal that led him to a distant planet. (edit)
Vilgax must be quite old in the movie because when Tetrax was young, Vilgax was already a full grown alien. Now, probably 10 or 20 or 30 years have past. (edit)
Main Villain(s): Dr. Animo, Vilgax and Sixsix. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Gwen: Come on! I know you can fly this thing. (edit)
Ben: You're just trying to mess with me. (edit)
Ben: Yeah! I work best under pressure. (edit)
Gwen: I wish I was at the mall right now. (edit)
Gwen: I hear normal kids normally spend their normal summer vacations at the beach, or the mall. Oh, that's right! We were supposed to be going to the mall today.
(shows Gwen and Grandpa Max being tied upside down)

Grandpa Max: Sorry, honey, got a little side-tracked. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Look Closely: You can see Gluto blushing when Gwen shows interest in the technology he was explaining to her. (edit)
Though the name is never mentioned, Tetrax's ship is called "The Resolute". (edit)
Think Back: Ben wins 2 out of 3 at rock-paper-scissors. In "Ben 10,000" Gwen stated that Ben always loses at it. (edit)
When Ben asked "You're Azmuth?" To Myaxx, she should've said something. (edit)
Pay Attention: There are many instances when the door of Tetrax's spaceship was open in space. If the door was open, Ben and Gwen should've had a hard time breathing or even staying in the ship. They could be pulled out into space. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Eye Guy
Eye Guy, Ben's new alien, seems to be based off of the Greek mythological figure, Argus (all eyes). His entire body was covered with eyes. When his head was chopped off by Hermes, his eyes were placed on the head goddess Hera's favorite bird, the peacock, which explains the eyes of the peacock's tail. (edit)
Tetrax's Computer
The way Tetrax uses his computer in the ship looks like Aelita in a tower from the TV show Code Lyoko. (edit)
Vilgax's Army
Vilgax's drones move and fight similar to the way Slade's robots do on Teen Titans. (edit)
Negative Energy
When Ben unleashed the negative energy from the Omnitrix to disrupt Vilgax's robots, it was similar to Transformers The Movie, where Rodimus Prime unleashed the Matrix's power to destroy the inside of Unicron. (edit)
Eye Guy: Name/Appearance/Powers
Eye Guy seems to be based on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers monster of the same name, who is composed entirely of eyes, some of which energy beams can be shot from. (edit)
