Deliberate mistake: After Jim completes the awakening protocols, he is shown to his cabin because his door lights up. That's fine if he's the only one there, but he's not supposed to be. Presumably, there would have been hundreds of other people awakened as well, and the ship can't show all of them to their cabins by lighting their doors at the same time. But reviving every passenger separately and showing them to their rooms one at a time seems highly inefficient.

1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Morten Tyldum
Starring: Andy Garcia, Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt, Michael Sheen
Revealing mistake: Just after Aurora finds out that Jim woke her up, she runs around the ship. When she finishes the run, she comes across a dead end and the shot cuts to Jim sitting in front of CCTV monitors. If you look carefully, her movements on the middle monitor do not match the two either side of it - a badly-synced video rather than a live CCTV feed. (01:04:00)
Jim Preston: How do I send a message to Earth.
InfoMat: Interstellar messages are sent by laser array. This is an expensive service.
Jim Preston: Bite me!
InfoMat: Happy to help.
Trivia: Despite receiving fifth billing, Andy Garcia is only on screen for 10 seconds and has no lines at all.
Question: Why did Arthur tell Aurora that Jim woke her up even though he promised to keep it a secret?
Answer: Because the ship had been malfunctioning due to collision with the asteroid it had effected Arthur as he is part of the vessel. This shows something is wrong with the ship as previously indicated, Arthur's sudden change of behaviour being integral to what is going on.
Answer: Being that Arthur is an android, he takes everything that is said literally and without analyzing it. Once Jim and Aurora began their romantic relationship, Aurora casually mentioned to Arthur that she and Jim have "no secrets" from one another, which Jim, without realizing the context or the consequences, confirmed. Arthur then interpreted it to mean that Aurora knew Jim had intentionally awakened her from the sleeping pod.
