Continuity mistake: When Jack sets up the motorbike, he pivots the two bars forward and locks them to form the handlebars. A few shots later as Jack looks down at the sensor, you can see one solid handlebar, all the way across. (00:13:45 - 00:14:25)

Continuity mistake: When Jack is riding his motorbike past the deserted ships, there is a huge trail made on the ground. This trail continues to be made as he rides. But as soon as he drives over a hill and stops his bike, there is no visible trail in the background, only the ships are visible. (00:14:20)

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film, Jack helps Julia into the stasis module, and the bombs are visible by her feet. If she was switched to another module, so that the bombs were still inside but she remained on Earth, she would have woken up in the process.

Suggested correction: There's no evidence that she would have woken up. We don't have enough information about the statis process or its effects on the person once the pod is open to determine if she would have woken up during this time.

Suggested correction: My question is, where is this new stasis module from? It's a 60 year old special equipment on a spaceship to Titan. For that reason it is unlikely that these stasis modules are numerous on earth and in the hand of the scavengers. All other populated pods are destroyed by the drones. May be there are two more empty stasis modules for Jack and Vika on the jettisoned space vehicle? OK, that could be.

Questions

Question: Since the Moon is not gone, just broken into pieces, wouldn't this still provide the same mass, and hence the same gravitational attraction? Hard to see how the tidal effect would destroy the Earth without physically removing the Moon's mass. Makes a nice visual, but seems to fall flat on the science.

Answer: The gravitational pull of the broken moon is spread out, not concentrated in a single body, and therefore broader but weaker. This would alter the tides. Whether it would do so as depicted I can't tell you.
