Other mistake: When Braz is showing the thing with the mouse in the box, the laser cuts a hole in the concrete, the steel plate and the wall. When the lasers reach the wall, a small plate falls from the wall, revealing another hole with the shape of a bottle. Where does that come from. If he tried the experiment before (explaining the second hole), wouldn't the bottle be vaporized as well? (00:30:05)
Other mistake: At the end of the film when the carrier battle group is searching for the deep earth team the carrier captain is wearing a baseball cap which reads "CVN-72 USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN". In the credits he is described as "USS CONSTELLATION CAPTAIN" but in the acknowledgments it thanks the captain and crew of USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN. (01:55:45 - 02:03:45)
Suggested correction: It seems this mistake has more to it. Because there are no external shots showing exactly what carrier it is by the hull number, there is no way to tell on screen what ship it is, besides the radar dishes on top suggest it is a Kitty Hawk class carrier (so it's the Constellation). The end credits list both ships, but on screen they say it was the Lincoln, so the credits should say the USS Abraham Lincoln Captain. I don't know why they would credit the Lincoln crew if they only used the name on their ball caps.
