Factual error: When it's 00:00 on January 1st, it's not night in Sydney, it's 11 AM. When they 'reveal' stuff at the end of the movie, and they show that things happen exactly at 00:00 in the night in London, it can't possibly be dark in Sydney, Australia.

Now You See Me 2 was a movie I can say is definitely watchable; I can easily watch this movie to pass the time, however I did not think that this movie left the same impact as the first movie. The second movie manages to retain some of the things that made the first movie work; it has its moments of comedy and action and the characters are still fun to watch. However, I never felt the magic from that made the first movie work was not as present here. The storyline did not feel as engaging, some of the comedy and magic scenes fell flat, and on some occasions takes itself seriously, which did not feel right for this type of movie. Overall, Now You See Me 2 is a movie I can say is watchable, albeit not as effective as its predecessor.

Suggested correction: It shows that Sydney is at dusk and is becoming dark, so around 5pm-6pm-ish, not 11am during the day.
J. Daniel Atlas: We are going out with a show people will never forget.
Question: I thought that the chip they stole was fake? Why did Walter think it is real? Hypnosis?
Answer: Walter thought the chip was real because he placed it under a scanner and the scanner confirmed that the chip was real. However, given the fact that later on it was revealed that the whole plane sequence was a set up, it is probable that the device used to scan the chip was actually a fake that was used to make Walter believe the chip was real, most likely throw him off guard.
Answer: It is revealed later on that Allen Scott-Frank, the man from the Macau Science Center, where they stole the fake chip from, was working with The Eye. He likely anticipated their arrival due to being in contact with The Eye and planted a fake chip into the system, allowing the Horsemen to steal it. This fake chip was likely designed to trick a scanner into thinking it was real.
They stole the real chip but lost it. That's how they were able to recognize the one they currently had was fake.
