In the Grand Central scene where the lights flash on and off and the globes lighting the clock explode, the time on the clock is as expected, 2:22. When the leading actor raises his hand to rub his face, the time on his watch is 7:15.
When Dylan first wakes up, his alarm clock shows it is April 3. After their shift, his co-workers then take him out and one gives him a birthday card, indicating it is his birthday. He is given tickets to the air ballet that are dated for April 11, which is where he meets Sarah. The passage of time is seen over several days, ending on April 9 as the last date seen on his clock. Later when talking with Sarah, after she says her birthday is April 18 1986, he says his is also April 18 1986.
While it is possible his co-worker gave him an early birthday present, there would be no reason for this as they worked together every day.

When Jonas and Sarah ride the taxi to JFK, you can see white cars overtaking them in the reflection of the glass windows, these cars never appear on either side.
As Dylan rides down West End Avenue to Grand Central, the street numbers are not in order, as they should be.
After the hologram show Dylan sends Sarah a text saying he is sorry for the way he acted, and the next day at 9:09 he receives a response that she is working through the events and will call him later. On the train Dylan sends her a warning text, but her response is missing from the thread.
A supernova explosion as close as up to 30 light-years would cause mass extinction event on Earth from the radiation exposure.
The ATC communications are full of inaccuracies. An American Airlines flight is mentioned by call sign "A A ###", when it should be "American ###". Similar mistakes are made with a Qantas call sign.
In the beginning of the movie a China Southern plane - CA 135 - is being directed by flight control. The first mistake is that the airline prefix CA is for Air China, not China Southern. Secondly, Flight CA135 is a flight from Beijing, China to Seoul, South Korea.
The crash with the taxi would not have been as severe as shown since city traffic in New York at that time of day doesn't move fast enough to cause that type of damage.
In the opening scenes of New York the Twin Towers are clearly visible. In a later scene of New York we see the One World Trade Center.
The first scene is in the dream. At that time in the dream, the twin towers still stood.

The constellation on Grand Central's ceiling is actually backwards, which means that the pattern that plays a key role throughout the movie isn't correct.
The AirCraft which is coming in to Land is shown as a Airbus A330 but after it lands it becomes a Boeing 777
When Dylan and Sarah are talking in bed, he hears tires skidding and vehicles colliding. He looks out the window and sees a sedan that appears to have been rear-ended by a minivan, with the right front of the minivan against the rear of the sedan. The minivan is still partially in a parking space, so it could not have rear-ended the sedan as was heard. In this type of collision, the minivan would have pulled into the path of the sedan, which would then brake, with the front or side of the sedan hitting the left front of the minivan.
Next, no skid marks are seen on the pavement.
Finally, the sedan is a late model that has anti-lock brakes incapable of making the skidding sound heard.
The above reveal the collision being was staged for the film.

The first time Dylan is shown riding his bike from his apartment to Grand Central, his route is riddled with mistakes. He starts out going south from his apartment at 525 West End Avenue and he passes 97th Street - which is 0.6 miles north of his apartment. After some time riding and making some turns, he passes 741 West End Avenue which is only a half block south of 97th Avenue.
At the end scene, many bystanders run in front of the man pointing the gun. In reality, they would be running away from him.
Dylan is running from 3 or 4 cops. He gets into Grand Central Station and the "indoor" scene starts. Cops will arrive practically 4 minutes later.
Towards the end, when the letter from Evelyn to Jake is read, it says, "I can't stop grinning from ear to ear", but Evelyn's voice over says, "I can't stop smiling from ear to ear". The subsequent sentence is completely different than the letter.
As Dylan rides in the cab on 3rd Avenue, the numbered streets he passes are in descending order, indicating a downtown direction. 3rd Avenue passing those streets goes uptown only.
In the cab Dylan says they are going toward Grand Central when Grand Central is visible in the rear window behind him.
When Dylan Boards the train in Grand Central it is announced as an A train. The A train doesn't go thru Grand Central.
