Corrected entry: When the Navy officer tells Norman to pull the switch that will cover the giant squid with a electrical surge, Beth starts panicking and yells, "You're going to cause a fire." over and over again. After Norman pulls it, a fire starts. This is an obvious manifestation of "the power," but since the only one who would be in the right state of mind for it is Beth, and in that point of the movie she hasn't been inside the sphere yet (only Norman and Harry have, Harry's asleep, and Norman was always the most psychologically stable of the main cast and wouldn't give into panic like that) who caused the fire?

Corrected entry: When they decode Jerry's keyboard code, Harry decodes 'h' as the number 3. Surely if this is the case then the whole message would be different e.g. if Jerry turns into Harry then hello must turn into 'jallo'.
Correction: Not entirely sure but if the H and the J were mixed up I'm not sure if the other sentences would be too. Unless they didn't use either letter. I haven't gone through the movie to see if that was the case but this is something I always wondered about too.

Correction: The electrical surge has a design flaw that starts the fire, which is more clearly explained in the book. It has absolutely nothing to do with "the power."
