I think you missed #4: the ascent is too fast. The movie-makers watched
too many shuttle launches and not enough Saturn V launches. :-)

And the exhaust plume is too short and too puny. It should stretch
way farther out.

Likewise the shot of the F-1s firing up (which appears to be of a
CO2 fire extinguisher squirting) is not massive enough. *Each*
F-1 burned 3,500 gallons of Kerosene *per second*! And there
were FIVE of them lighting up.

I must admit I was impressed by just how much that picture resembled the
real sequences I've seen.
