Factual error: When Reynolds is pulling up to the gas station headed to the countryside, you see a blue Michelin sign on the left against the gas station's building. The 'Michelin Man' logo style seen on the sign was not in use until the 2000s. The movie takes place in 1950s. (00:11:50)
Factual error: In the scenes where Gardner is messaging his Earth based female friend Tulsa from his Mars home, their communication is shown as being in real time. In truth, there would be minimum of a 4 min lag between messages due to the distance. (00:24:00)
Other mistake: When Christian and Ana are discussing his birthday, you can see Christmas decorations in a window they pass, indicating that his birthday is somewhere around that time. However, his birthday is in June.
Factual error: At the end, it is said that John William Polidori committed suicide due to not receiving credit for The Vampyre. This is not confirmed as the coronary report concluded the death to be natural despite evidence to the contrary. He was also plagued by gambling debts which caused him depression which may be a more (or equally) plausible reason for his alleged suicide.
Continuity mistake: From icing her knee to eating pizza, first the box is closed - next frame in the same conversation, the box is wide open. (00:47:22)
Continuity mistake: Gabby is just starting her assignment. She is looking at the women of the choir singing "Joy to the world"; she is standing at distance from the pews, but when it cuts to a closer view she has her hands on one. (00:10:00)
Factual error: Emmanuelle Devos goes to the airport to get her husband and daughter. Their plane landed at 7 PM (18:58 to be precise) as shown by the airport monitor. They get a cab to a hotel downtown, and then there's a scene when she books a restaurant from the hotel room. She tells her husband, who just took a shower, that they need to be at the restaurant at 8 PM. Her husband says that there's no rush then, since it's only 7 PM. Of course that's impossible, the Turin airport is about 20km away from the part of the city they are driving through, which at that hour has also significant traffic; if their plane landed at 7, at 8 PM they would hardly have any time left to spare. (00:29:00)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Regina is looking at pictures and messages on her phone. There's no solid continuity between close-ups and wider shots, with the hand position changing suddenly most times. (00:01:10)
Continuity mistake: Edmund and his business partner pull over in front of the hotel. They walk out of the car, and the woman is holding a clipboard in her left hand and her smartphone in her right. When they get through the hotel doors though, she is thumbing her phone in her left hand and the clipboard is now encased in a whole document folder she did not leave the car with, in her right hand. (00:02:40)
Continuity mistake: Izzy gets out of the car of her one night stand and lights up a cigarette. She begins to type on her phone, phone in the left, cig in the right. A jogger bumps her and in the next shot she coughs on purpose to try and make her put the cigarette out. From now on, Izzy's phone is in her right hand and her cigarette in her left hand. (00:08:05)
Continuity mistake: Throughout the scene at Stukey's, when Helen Mirren is chatting the Syrians' ears off her elbow sticks out of the window at variable length between shots. (00:05:45)
Continuity mistake: When William Baldwin spills macaroni on his MacBook, in the close-up of the notebook keyboard you can see part of the screen in the background. The chat app he supposedly is using is empty of any text, no trace of the conversation he is having in the rest of the scene. (00:05:00)
Continuity mistake: Olivia is introducing her intended design, but left out of the heirloom throw pillows her client is fussing about. During the scene, in close-up (when the client asks to talk to her boss) her hair is all the way back behind her shoulders, but she has loose hair all over her blazer's collar in the remaining shots. (00:01:40)
Continuity mistake: The protagonist is driving his diminutive car to the villa. In the view from the villa (Avishai Cohen's name pops up) you can see a large shadow covering the area of the gate. In the reverse shot that part of the road is fully lit. (00:06:00)
Continuity mistake: The team has to come up with a plan to handle The Truth. Destiny's friend Willow stands up and says "So look, here's my plan." Destiny announces she has a better one; during this exchange, the phone in Cristine Prosperi's hand switches hands. (00:11:30)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Bob Fredericks pulls his bicycle over. His wife takes off leaving him behind. A young man walks by him twice in the two separate shots and at different distance. (00:01:00)
Factual error: The film describes the British headquarters in Kenya as the "British Embassy." Kenya was still a colony, so there was no British embassy; it was Government House.
Continuity mistake: In the first episode, the cold Federico is shaken by the first approach with the bookstore owner Giulia. When he comes back inside the store, the woman is leaning against the corner of table when the camera is in front of her, she isn't in the shots from the back of the store. (00:04:30)
Continuity mistake: When Kat wakes up for the second go-around of Valentine's Day (the first repetition), she scoffs at the text from Bradley, her date who bailed on her. When the text is inserted onscreen, it matches the original day's, mentioning their planned dinner and first in-person meeting. When her phone's actual screen is shown, the text from Bradley is an invitation to breakfast. They never had or planned a breakfast. The wording is very similar to Danny's invitation at the end of the movie.
Suggested correction: The tech is supposed to be highly advanced. This is at least kept consistent throughout the film as all communication between planets is in real time.

There is no tech that can alter the laws of physics that we know of. The near future setting of the film limits the scope of what's feasible.
