Corrected entry: It is highly unlikely that a college-educated captain in the Air Force who was selected over her peers to be the aide to a three star general wouldn't have some idea what the word terraforming means. Despite that, Captain Ferris is ignorant of the meaning of the word when Dr. Hamilton concludes that the World Engine is terraforming the planet. Likely just an excuse for Dr. Hamilton to explain to the audience what terraforming is, but it was still out of place for a character of her education level. (01:44:50)
Corrected entry: This is the first live-action film in which General Zod doesn't use his trademark order "Kneel before Zod."
Correction: When does Zod say this line in the 1978 "Superman" movie? The closest he gets is "you will bow down before me, Jor-El." Of the four live action films Zod is in, he says this line in only "Superman II."
Corrected entry: Heat vision is directed by the person's field of vision, so in the climactic scene why did Zod struggle to turn his head when he could have simply moved his eyes?
Correction: This is an assumption. It is never stated within the film that the heat vision seen in this film is within the field of vision. All cases of heat vision being used in this film has the users head fixed on the target.
Corrected entry: When the black hole is created from the collision of the plane and Zod's ship everything is pulled towards it, whether of Earth origin or Kryptonian origin, except Lois who keeps falling away from it. Even Superman had problems escaping it. (01:59:00 - 01:59:55)
Correction: Anything exposed to the Phantom Energy was sucked into the singularity (not black hole), which includes the debris around Zod's ship, the ship itself as well as Superman (who stood right in that energy beam, and also travelled through the phantom zone as a baby). Lois however, was never exposed to the phantom energy, which is why she kept falling and was not affected.
Corrected entry: No way could Lois have made the climb up to the scout ship in such a short time after seeing Clark in the photo she just took - she was a few minutes behind him and he was way in the distance when she took the photograph, not to mention being ill equipped for such a climb.
Correction: There is no indication of time given. Clark was exploring the ship, much of which may not have been shown on screen.
Corrected entry: In the beginning, Jor-El climbs on board the back of a four-winged flying creature, and he says one word, "Up." And the creature, instead of going up, goes straight down.
Corrected entry: There's no reasonable way for Lois Lane to get to and find Superman at the end just in time to see him kill Zod, as she had no idea where he would be, and no means of transport to get there in the destroyed city.
Correction: Considering how chaotic the battle was, there's no telling exactly how far away from where Lois started Superman and Zod actually were. Two flying, fighting, super-destructive beings wouldn't be that hard to track either. Just look up until they land somewhere, then go there. As for transportation, she wouldn't have to wait for a bus to pick her up; there would have been any number of abandoned vehicles with keys still in the ignition, engine running.
Corrected entry: After Faora comes out of the ship to greet Kal-El, she then makes her way to the soldiers standing behind him, taking only a few steps to get to them. However, in a number of aerial views, it's clear that Kal-El is at least one hundred yards away from the soldiers. (01:14:50)
Correction: They are nowhere near a hundred yards away, in any shot when Faora greets Superman.
Corrected entry: After the scout ship moves, we see a polar bear, indicating it is now on the north pole. But then Superman emerges from the ship, you can see mountains. There are no polar bears on the south pole, and no mountains at the north pole.
Correction: This scene takes place in northern Canada, where there are both mountains and polar bears.
Corrected entry: When Zod is pointing his heat vision at some civilians, the walls break without being touched by the heat.
Correction: The heat vision was intense enough to break down the bonds between the facade and the bricks underneath, causing the collapse.
Corrected entry: Before Clark gets the superman suit he has some beard on his cheeks, but when he starts to fly the beard is gone.
Correction: Terraforming isn't a common subject in pretty much any college, as it's far beyond anything we are capable of. You'd be more likely to know about it from science fiction. Either way, something being unlikely doesn't make it a mistake.
