* [[All Just a Dream]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. At one point near the end of the film it looks like the story is gonna go out with a [[Twist Ending]]. As Evan's doctor explains that there are no journals, he asserts that everything that we've apparantly seen so far is a delusion that Evan created to cope with the guilt of killing Kayleigh, describing alternate universes with colleges, prisons, and paraplegia. Then it turns out that the mental time travel ''was'' real when Evan goes back one last time}}.
* [[An Aesop]]: Similar to that of ''[[The Time Machine]]'' remake; to attempt to undo the mistakes of the past is futile. Sometimes, you just have to accept things the way they are.
Line 21 ⟶ 23:
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: Tommy. Even in a reality where he turns out alright, his hair is brown. Lenny also depending on the reality.
* [[Burn, Baby, Burn]]: Turns out this is what originally happened with the dynamite. Also {{spoiler|The ending. (Although that was hinted at throughout)}}.
* [[Butterfly of Transformation]]: This trope is the reason why the hero is trying to fix the past.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Taken to the extreme.
* [[Crapsack World]]: It starts here and gets ''worse''.
