Transformers (2007)

Corrected entry: When Bumblebee upgrades to the 2009 Camaro, we see Sam getting into Bumblebee through the passenger side door. In the next shot, Mikaela is in the passenger's seat and Sam is getting in from the driver's side door.

Correction: No, we don't. We see Sam opening the door, then Mikaela goes past him and gets in. At no point do we see Sam start to get in through that door. Then we cut and Sam's getting in through the driver's door. Obviously, once Mikaela was in, Sam simply walked round and got in the other side.

Transformers (2007)

Corrected entry: Okay, it's been established that the Transformers have an incredibly fast wireless uplink, and indeed the decepticons communicate across the world wirelessly. Yet the autobots resort to speech (English, no less) when they discuss their battle plan after obtaining the glasses, despite there being no humans present.

Correction: Some reason why they shouldn't? The Transformers may be machine-based, but they're still living beings, with intelligence, emotion and so forth. Seems entirely reasonable that they'd prefer the more personal nature of direct speech when they're together, rather than just downloading stuff into their brains.

Transformers (2007)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Sam's great-great-grandfather and his crew are freeing their ship from the ice, several of the sailors are speaking modern English; they talked rather similar to how the Americans talk now. There was no modern English back in the 1800's.

Correction: As is absolutely standard with historically set films, present day language is used to make the scene accessible to modern day audiences. This is a standard movie convention and, as such, is not considered a mistake.
