details

• Factual errors: In one scene, Cam appears to have locked her keys inside her car, a silver Toyota Prius. However, the Prius uses a key-recognition system to prevent such occurrences from happening.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: In the scene where Cam ejects the roof of the car, in the back you can see the police escorts lights flashing.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Chuck is playing Xbox 360, you can see the controller is not on. There is a green light in the center of the controller that comes on when the controller is "connected."
  
  

• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Cam's speech about penguin mating rituals pertains to Emperor Penguins. All the penguins in her habitat are Gentoo or Chinstrap penguins. Both which have mating rituals that involve nests of stones and shared incubation duties not the months-long endurance trial that Emperor males have to go through.
  
  
• Continuity: When Cam walks into the metal post she hits it with one side of her face. After she falls down and Chuck comes to help her, Cam is rubbing her hand on the wrong side of her face.
  
  
• Factual errors: The Penguins that Cam works with are African Penguins, also known as Jackass Penguins. They do not live in Antarctica or in cold weather at all. They are only found on the coast of South Africa and Namibia. So, they would not be shown in a habitat with fake ice. They are warm weather birds.
  
  

• Factual errors: SPOILER: Chuck couldn't casually book an air ticket to Antarctica as he did in the movie. The only way to fly to Antartica from the United Stares is to pre-book a flight through a charter service or a paramilitary organization such as the New York Air National Guard. And even if he did he would never make the connecting flight to Anataricia because he would never pass a strict gear check.
  
  
• Factual errors: SPOILER: Cam only going to Antarctica for a week is ludicrous for a low ranking researcher. Flying back and forth would take at least a week. A typical stay for a researcher at Antartica is at least six months because the window of opportunity for planes to land there is very short.
