Revealing mistake: Right at the beginning of the film when the crew walk down the tunnel from the shuttle to the space station, one on the left of screen bumps into the massive metal airlock door. It wobbles.
Revealing mistake: When they land on Mars, pay attention to the 3 vents in the front of their helmets - at certain angles you can see there's no screens or obstructions - just 3 holes straight through and you can see their skin.
Character mistake: When the biologist guy talks about writing code for DNA he names the four codes as A, G, T, P, when they are actually A, G, T, C.
Question: The ship is hit by a solar flare. But in that case shouldn't Earth advise them about the solar flare incoming? It is supposed that the Sun is constantly watched for solar flares, in case a human mission is en route. Shouldn't mission control on Earth be watching for any unusual solar activity to advise the crew? And they could warn them with time because radio waves go faster than solar flares.
