- Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): Vladimir Putin appears in the global reaction videos, yet he had left office by then. He is still the Prime Minister and de facto ruler of Russia, so Putin making official statements about an international crisis is believable.
- SPOILER: Klatuu used the famous line, Klatuu Barada Nikto twice in the movie, at the beginning after he is shot by the military, to stop Gort from hurting them and then at the end of the movie when Klatuu touches the sphere and says Klatuu Barada Nikto to stop Gort, who now is in the form of the Nanobots, from destroying the world. Once he touches the sphere and says, Klatuu Barada Nikto, the nanobots all die.
- Renowned astronomer Seth Shostak was hired as a consultant on the film. He reviewed the script several times for errors, and gave suggestions for making the scientists less dry: "Real scientists don't describe an object entering the solar system as 'notable for the fact that it was not moving in an asteroidal ellipse, but moving at nearly 3*10 to the seventh meters per second'. More likely, they would say that there was 'a goddamned rock headed our way!'" He also noted the scientists should refer to one another by a first name basis.
- Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): As soon as it was discovered that the object was not following a gravitational freefall trajectory, it would have been known to not be a natural object. However, the make-up of the science team that's been assembled (including a civil engineer) suggests that the plan is more for dealing with First Contact than physical aftermath of an impact, suggesting that they are quite aware the object is Alien rather than natural. After all, if the scientists had been gathered only to deal with the aftermath, then they would have been gathered at a location a safe distance from the predicted landing site.
