Corrected entry: When you go back in time to catch up with someone shouldn't you be in the EXACT time and place where the other arrived? You shouldn't be days or so late because the machine was configured to send you to that same time. We can't presume to say that the machine was erratic because when they were sent as a group they all arrived at the same place and time. Of course, by then the movie would be over. This is typical of most time travel movies.

Factual error: When the French are besieging the English Castle at night, their archers appear to be using longbows that were used exclusively by the Welsh and English in the hundred years war.
Marek: We're speaking the same language, but you don't understand a word I'm saying, do you?
Lady Claire: No.
Trivia: Timeline was filmed with no CGI. The battle scenes, time transport, etc, were all created through other filming techniques...although a few of the scenes are slightly computer enhanced.
Question: When Kate and Chris are in the tunnel (in 1357), Kate tells one of the monks to go tell Arnaut. When did Kate know of the existence of Arnaut, as they had yet to meet?

Correction: They say that they don't fully understand how the machine works and that they can,t pinpoint the landing site. The same thing probably goes for the date: they can set a ballpark arriving dtae, but that's about it. Furthermore, because of that, the time travelling could be seen as continuous, i.e. those arriving second will get to the past after those who left first.
