(at around 25 mins) Upon first entering the Event Horizon, Captain Miller comments on how the ship is a "deep freeze" and how there are ice crystals everywhere. Immediately after this, we see a water bottle floating around with liquid sloshing inside it.
(at around 8 mins) The Lewis and Clarke crew enters stasis on the way to Neptune, made necessary because of the "30 Gs of acceleration" they will endure for the trip. When they arrive at Neptune, however, there are coffee cups and other debris on the tabletop, loose chairs, etc., in the same position as they were before the trip. This is not consistent with sudden and severe acceleration.
On Captain Miller's shirt, his first initials are shown as being S.A. whereas on the door to his bunk, they are shown as being S.J.
(at around 1h 20 mins) The rope or wire which Captain Miller uses to pull himself through the doorway when the spacecraft's window is broken disappears when he props it open to save Lt. Stark.
(at around 11 mins) Just after helping Weir to his feet and as he turns away, you can see that D.J.'s shorts are completely dry on his backside, despite being in a tank of liquid for the last 56 days and being visibly dripping wet from the front.
(at around 53 mins) When Justin is ejected into outer space, his veins immediately start to burst and bleed heavily. This isn't very likely to happen in the short time that he is exposed to the vacuum of space. Parts of the body will probably start to bulge due to the lack of atmospheric pressure, and there will probably be some subcutaneous bleeding from ruptured blood vessels, but the human skin is thought to be resilient enough to stay intact. Also, the blood that leaves his body remains liquid; in reality, it would boil and evaporate instantly due to the lack of pressure. Not everything about the scene is unrealistic: the fact that he remained conscious is probably correct (most adults would remain conscious for 10-20 seconds), as well as the fact that he does not freeze (although deep space is extremely cold, the lack of gas molecules makes it difficult for body heat to leave the body).
(at around 14 mins) It was said the Event Horizon is in a decaying orbit however it is obvious they are in the troposphere of Neptune (evidence by the lightning and clouds) and therefore no longer in orbit and should be experiencing gravity that of Earth (Neptune's gravity is 110% of Earth). Therefore zero-gravity should not exist where the Event Horizon is locate, furthermore, the Event Horizon should be falling to the surface of Neptune.
(at around 1h) "Liberate tutemet" is wrong in Latin. "Liberate" is 2nd person PLURAL imperative, "tutemet" is an emphatic 2nd person SINGULAR pronoun. The correct version would have been "liberate vos" or "liberate vosmet". "Tutemet" (which is a very rare form) is also wrongly nominative: an accusative is needed in the sentence for the object of the verb "liberate". On the other hand, "libera" as singular imperative and "temet" as a singular objective emphatic reflexive would not only match, but create more believable mishearing between "libera temet" (save yourself) and "liberate me" (save me).
Blood would have dried in seven years' time. Liquid blood droplets would be nearly spherical due to surface tension, like the coolant.
(at around 18 mins) When Dr. Weir plays the record of the emergency signal containing the "Liberate me" bit, D.J. says that he can't make out the rest of the message, but Dr. Weir always stops the tape immediately after Liberate Me has been spoken, so D.J. wouldn't have been able to hear any other part of the message to begin with.
(at around 3 mins) The Omega Speedmaster wristwatch floating around the Event Horizon at the start of the movie can be heard ticking as is passes. However the Speedmaster has a manually-wound mechanism with a power reserve of 48hrs; if the ship had been empty for seven years the watch would have stopped ticking long ago.
As the video chronometer and the ship still thought it was 2040, not 2047, the time that the Event Horizon was away (during faster than light travel [FTL]) is more than likely a matter of just hours or days. Considering this is set in the future, it's pretty much guaranteed battery technology would increase the length of the reserve battery.

(at around 19 mins) As the Lewis and Clarke approaches the Event Horizon somewhere near Neptune, it goes trough multiple cloud formations. However, all later scenes happen in zero gravity making the presence of any atmosphere impossible at that particular level. In actuality, it is perfectly possible to experience this effect within an atmosphere, such as in reduced-gravity aircraft.
(at around 14 mins) It was said the Event Horizon is in a decaying orbit, however, it is obvious they are in the troposphere of Neptune (evidenced by the lightning and clouds) and, therefore, no longer in orbit and should be experiencing gravity similar to that of Earth (Neptune's gravity is 110% of Earth). Therefore, zero-gravity should not exist where the Event Horizon is located; furthermore, the Event Horizon should be falling toward the surface of Neptune.
(at around 15 mins) The highly trained aerospace officers understand none of the theory behind space travel. Dr. Weir explains how his gravity drive works by folding the ends of a piece of paper together (a pin-up, of course) and poking a pencil through both sheets.
However, the form of propulsion that he is explaining has nothing whatsoever to do with the methods with which they are well familiar. In the context of the film, he is telling them something that is advanced theory and secret technology, so there is no reason to assume that they should be familiar with it as part of their training and experience.

(at around 1h 23 mins) Near the end, when Cooper watches the "blood" flowing above the ceiling lights, the front of the flow does not change shape at all and also, just before the camera changes, briefly jumps backwards, revealing it to be a plastic printed film above the light fixtures which the light is merely shining through.
(at around 1h 26 mins) When a fully possessed Weir grabs Miller's forehead and squeezes, blood seeps from Weir's fingers down Miller's face and scratches are seen after he lets go. But Weir's fingernails clearly never dig into his face at all, so there should be no blood or scratches.
(at around 8 mins) There really is no reason to subject a ship to 30gs to reach maximum velocity needed to get to Neptune unless you absolutely had to. Using linear acceleration, you can accelerate the ship and in 24 hours would reach the same speed, all the while never exceeding 1 to 2 gs the whole time and only spending one extra day to get there.
The "water" in the water bottle that was still liquid in a deep freeze could be alcohol. They would likely not be encouraged to bring alcohol on the ship, and thus disguise it as water in a water bottle. This might, indeed, be an "inside joke" as many people disguise alcohol as water to thwart suspicions. Alcohol freezes well below -150°F, so it is plausible.
(at around 31 mins) When Justin is touched by something in the black gateway, you hear him say "Oh, shit!" but his mouth never moves.
(at around 1h 30 mins) When Cooper is comforting Stark at the end, Cooper's words clearly do not match his lip movements.
(at around 20 mins) When the crew first approach the Event Horizon in space, they nearly hit the ship and Dr. Weir yells "We're gonna hit!" but his mouth never moves.
(at around 1h 24 mins) Studio space/backs of other sets briefly visible through holes in the "meat grinder" tunnel when the fire races through it.
(at around 11 mins) When the stasis tube drains (after dream sequence) Dr. Weir is seen wearing a nose clip, then it disappears.
(at around 31 mins) There is no gravity on the Event Horizon. The movie makes a point of showing magnetic boots keeping everyone on the floor. Yet when Justin is sucked into the "heart of the ship", the resulting shock wave hits Capt Miller and he is thrown against a wall. He then falls to the floor, instead of floating in the air like the rest of the loose debris on the ship.
(at around 1h 22 mins) Despite having good reasons to expect danger, the three members of the rescue crew immediately separate, and are in no position to help each other.
(But this happens in most horror movies.)
(But this happens in most horror movies.)
When the rescue crew enters Event Horizon for the first time, the 'windows' at the rear of the control room are full of what looks like human skeletons and other bodily remains. No-one throughout the movie mentions them, examines them, or even attempts to cleanup or dispose of them, despite repeatedly trying to work out what happened on the ship before they arrived.
(at around 55 mins) Starck says that CO2 levels will become toxic in 4 hours from that moment. Furthermore, they brought CO2 scrubbers back to the Lewis and Clark and then that ship exploded. So how did the rest of the crew survive in a toxic environment and without the scrubbers?
Why would crew members be smoking on their spaceship. It's an enclosed, oxygen rich environment that is propelled by extremely flammable liquids.
Starck posits the theory that the Event Horizon returned with a lifeform onboard, to which Miller says "What are you telling me, that this ship is alive?" At no time did Starck say anything about the ship being alive. Just because they didn't detect any lifeforms onboard, doesn't mean there aren't any, given that they have no idea where the ship has been.
