Factual error: The solar panels (or mirrors) are facing away from the sun. The sun's position can be estimated from ground shadows and object highlights and the panels are facing in completely the wrong direction. (01:11:40)

Character mistake: The doctor diagnosing Will's illness tells Evelyn and Max that it's caused by "an isotope called polonium." Polonium is a chemical element, not an isotope. The word "isotope" refers to a form of an element (such as carbon-12 or carbon-14) not the element itself. It does not mean "radioactive substance", because many isotopes are stable. A doctor would know this. (00:17:00)

Continuity mistake: The car the hybrid man pushes is in OK shape at first, then he lifts and flips it through the copper fence, and now its whole front side is gone. They might used an already wrecked "car double" for the scene when it crashes and explodes. (01:40:50)

Factual error: When Evelyn tries to get the AI on the internet using a network cable, she inserts it into a patch port. Patch ports lead to network outlets, and there might be no device on the other end of the port. It would have made more sense to insert the cable into a networking switch, instead.

Agent Buchanan: We're all gonna need someone to blame when thing goes sideways.
Colonel Stevens: It's already sideways.
