Goofs

The Wandering Earth

Edit

Factual errors

When Peiqiang cries in zero gravity, his tears float off of his face. In a zero-gravity environment, tears stay adhered to the eyes due to surface tension. This has been observed by astronauts on board the real-life International Space Station.
The travel time from China to Sulawesi appears to be almost non-existent, which would be quite an achievement for a distance of 1000+ miles... in a truck... on ice.
The Navigation Platform International Space Station uses centrifugal force from rotation to create artificial gravity. When Peiqiang stops the rotation, he begins floating up slowly. In actuality, suddenly stopping the rotating platform would cause him and every other loose item to fly sideways toward the wall.
Whenever Jupiter is shown, its clouds are moving very quickly. In reality, the movement of Jupiter's clouds when viewed at such a distance from the planet would not be noticeable outside of a time-lapse.
The "gravity spike" that sends Earth plunging into Jupiter is not a physical thing. Gravity is a constant force that only changes if the underlying gravitating mass changes.

Crew or equipment visible

At approximately 58:30, inside the transporter, the camera pulls back slowly from the front of the transporter to the back. At the beginning of that camera motion, the feet of the camera man are visible in the rear view mirror.

Plot holes

An announcer states that the total propulsive force of the Earth Engines is 150 trillion tons (1.5×10^14 tons). This is not nearly enough thrust to move the Earth, which has a mass of approximately 6,583 quintillion tons (6.583×10^21 tons).
