Factual error: Atlantis was in the Sahara when it was still an ocean, that was about 4000-8000 years. But part of the riddle was to find the king, Romulus. Rome was founded around 750 BC. So no way for him to know where they would build a statue about someone that wasn't born yet.

Continuity mistake: Near the end, during the final combat scene between Aquaman and King Orm, the gigantic whirling propeller blades in the background noticeably change rotation rate: At the start of the battle, the blades are turning rather lazily; but at the height of the battle, the blades are spinning rapidly, a virtual blur in close-up shots, drawing a steady stream of sparks from Orm's helmet when it touches the propeller. When Aquaman defeats Orm moments later (and their mother, Queen Atlanna, appears), the huge blades are spinning slowly again. I'm not talking about during dramatic slo-mo action effects, but during the normal-speed action. (02:04:50 - 02:07:10)

Other mistake: When Tom picks up Atlanna when she washes up, she's unconscious, but she's able to hold on to her trident.

Suggested correction: It is emphasized that she is still holding it even when unconscious.

Other mistake: Artistic license via CGI physics is taken for all the characters in the water to keep their hair from ever flowing over their faces, no matter how long or how the currents might affect their hairstyles. When characters emerge out of the water, their hair remains nearly unaffected.

Continuity mistake: When Aquaman picks up the bottle containing a map in the Sahara, he is originally holding the bottle from the bottom while starting to unravel the map. The view cuts unravelling the map from his POV, and he is suddenly holding the bottle from the top. (01:21:29 - 01:23:19)

Continuity mistake: The goldfish bowl is pointing length ways, but when Kidman is laid on the couch the fish tank has changed direction completely. (02:24:00 - 02:34:00)

Other mistake: When Arthur meets Atlanna on the beach, she steps towards him. When the camera zooms out, there are no footprints in the sand.

Other mistake: During the final battle between Aquaman and king Orm, notice the propellers, both left and right prop rotate in the same direction, however the physical lay-out of the propellers are not matching (mirrored), thus one prop would give forward thrust, the other will give rear thrust. Not logical with both rotating in the same direction.

Other mistake: Aquaman and the princess were in Italy, then they are on a boat, but there is no great deep trench in the Mediterranean, and they couldn't have made it to the Atlantic in that fishing boat.

Orm: You were the reason our mother was executed. And I've hated you for it ever since. But I do not want to kill you, Arthur. I am going to give you one chance. Go home. Do not ever come back to Atlantis. You are not going to win this. A war is coming to the surface whether you like or not. And I am bringing the wrath of the Seven Seas with me.
Arthur Curry: You know I can't let that happen.
Orm: I know.

Question: Why did Arthur need to go to Atlantis to meet Vulko? We see Vulko coming to the surface multiple times, would it not have been easier to meet Arthur on land?

Answer: Because what they're looking for is in the ocean. The maps, the ancient texts and markers leading to the trident. It would seem odd to search for Arthur on land then return to the ocean.
