Revealing mistake: In the final scene when the escape pods land in the water, it's visible that the splash consists of large drops, which would never appear in normal conditions but is easier to do as a digital effect.

Continuity mistake: A montage scene of newspaper headlines early on has March 12, 1939 as the date. Much later in the film, Jude Law asks Gwyneth Paltrow the date so he can calculate the position of a star. She responds "March 2" but there is absolutely nothing to indicate that nearly a year has passed.
