Factual error: At the very start of the movie, when they zoom in a planet that is "too cold" the temperature of the planet is shown as -314 C. The maximum negative temperature is 273.15 C, which would be absolute zero. Also when zoomed in, the further right in the screen, the colder it gets, a maximum of -415 C can be seen. (00:01:44)
Factual error: All Iowa class battleships, including the Missouri, have their 100+ underwater openings closed off/capped to prevent water intake while parked in museum configuration. (See recent upkeep photos of USS New Jersey in Camden dry dock.) These caps would need to be removed in dry dock prior to being able to run engines. (Caps over water intakes.) Removal of caps on USS New Jersey requires blowtorching each. Minimum time would be at least a week.
Factual error: At the Award Ceremony, Alex is announced as a Lt Commander, but he is wearing Lieutenant's stripes on his shoulder. (01:57:22)
Suggested correction: It was a spot promotion that he didn't know he was getting. The Admiral called him LCDR to let him know he was getting promoted.
