Other mistake: Between the freeway battle scene and the convenience store scene; there's a transition shot where you can see the characters walking through a bombed out LA with the alien aircraft flying above. If you pay attention to them, instead of following the camera, at the end of the shot you will see them all stop moving mid-stride while everything else in the shot continues to move.
