Corrected entry: When John logs the final coordinates into his GPS, he tells Diana that the location is Lucinda's mobile home. How could he possibly know that? It hadn't been discussed, nor would it show up on a GPS device.
Corrected entry: In 1959 when Lucinda is writing the numbers, the teacher yanks it away before she is finished and she finishes the numbers on the door in the basement. When John gets the note it ends with "EE" which indicates she had time to finish the note.
Correction: That's not true because with every other sequence of numbers, the coordinates of latitude and longitude came after the date and number of people predicted to die. So she wouldn't have ended it just with EE. She put the coordinates of exactly where it would happen on the door.
Corrected entry: Nicolas Cage's wife was killed on a business trip to Phoenix. She died in a hotel fire at 4am while he was busy blowing leaves off the lawn in Massachusetts...at 6am in the dark?
Correction: There is a 3 hour difference between Phoenix and Massachusetts. Therefore he was blowing leaves at 7am. Early enough for people to use a leaf blower.
Corrected entry: The transit cop on the NYC subway is the same actor as the policeman in the crash scene where Diana is killed.
Corrected entry: During the class at the beginning, the teacher says, 'Yesterday, the staff selected the winning idea' for the opening contest. It would take a lot longer than 24 hours for them to build the time capsule, the hole in the ground and the lid to cover it. (00:02:15)
Correction: Time capsules, and all the accoutrements, like what is shown are purchased from a manufacturer, not made by the individual or group using them. These could easily be acquired in less than 24 hours.
Maybe today, but in 1959? Us mail wasn't that fast (still isn't).
They also had to make the custom copper cover, the hole in the ground to put it in, the banners, etc all in a very short time frame. Possible if all those supplies are locally available I guess in a small town, but unlikely.
Corrected entry: If you pay attention to the first date on the list that John types in while deciphering it, the date is 2/12/59, if this movie is based in October around the time of the 50th anniversary of the opening of the school in 1959, this disaster would have already happened when the list was written.
Correction: Why is this a mistake? This was a list of major disasters. Who said it had to be only future predictions?
Correction: It's December 2, 1959, not February 12, 1959.
Corrected entry: When Caleb is outside and Nicholas Cage is on the phone inside, he notices Caleb talking to the strange men in the car. When he runs out to stop them, he yells out "Taylor" instead of "Caleb".
Correction: No, he yells out, "Hey there".
Both of you are incorrect and to be sure I turned on closed captioning. Soon as Cage walks out of the house he said "Caleb, who was that" boy replies "just some guy " then Cage asked "what'd he give ya?" So he said Caleb soon as he walks out...and never says hey there.
Correction: He had been there before, so he could have easily read the directions that his GPS gave him and realized that's where the coordinates led him.
