After Earth

Continuity mistake: Approximately two scenes after Kitai leaves the pigs' burrow where he sheltered for the night, the "cutlass" is suddenly missing from his backpack. He later retrieves another from the ship's tail section. There is likely a deleted scene which would have explained the loss of the cutlass.

Continuity mistake: Just after the other group of men say "Go easy on him, Sarge. That's the Prime Commander's son right there." 'Sarge' turns his head back to face the boy and has his head level, not moving. It cuts to a frontal view and suddenly his head is tilted to the right and moving around. (00:12:45)

Cypher Raige: The pull of our own graviton weight could set the thing off. Let's just hold course and hope I'm wrong.
Pilot: Just out of interest, sir. How often are you wrong?
Cypher Raige: My wife would give a very interesting answer to that question.

Question: The alien predators are blind and hunt by pheromones. Why don't humans just wear hermetically sealed suits to block the pheromones, or use false pheromones as decoys?

Answer: Probably because it wouldn't work. On "Mythbusters," Adam and Jamie tested whether a tracking dog could still trace a human clad in a hermetically-sealed suit to contain the scent. The dog easily tracked Jamie.
