Continuity mistake: Right after Aki saves Gray and turns around to pick up the canister containing the plant off a table there is no table or ledge. If you watch the movie with the commentary one of the members involved with the movie says that it is floating on nothing. (00:16:50)

Trivia: The first major animated feature film that attempted to create "photorealistic" characters. The studio had the intention of reusing the character models in different films as "digital actors," where they could "play" different parts like a real actor. However, the film underperformed at the box office and this idea was quietly dropped.
Question: The phantoms can kill with the merest touch and can reach through any material - floors, walls, aircraft fuselage etc. Why then do the soldiers bother to don heavy, clunky body armour whenever they go out to battle? They'd do just as well in T-shirts and fatigues.
Chosen answer: The environment has become too hazardous for humans to tolerate.
