Do errors in movies take you out of the experience?

Or can you move on?

Well shite, just a few threads over in the No Country thread I was told it's practically a flawless movie

Depends how bad the error is.
Something like using parsecs as a measure of speed in Star Wars doesn't bother me much at all.
The terrible fighting by the extras in Dark Knight Returns? That's really pushing it.
Complete disregard for rules in sports movies? FML.
Oddly enough, the one that bugs me the most is the way movies and TV portray how local news broadcasts and live shots work. It drives me nuts to see a "live shot" in a move where it's just a camera guy and a reporter w/no production truck, no lights, no cables, and a reporter running up and talking to a random stranger to ask them what's happening. Maybe it's b/c I used to be a news producer so I know how it all really works but that's the one thing that will instantly take me out of a movie.

I probably don't notice most errors. I'm not that observant. What does take me out of the experience is bad acting, bad casting, stupid cheesy dialogue, and cliches.

no shite!
Rookie of the Year has been on MLB network a few times lately.
Henry Raviboozer balks twice in the 9th inning of the final game.
Like ridiculous stupid balks that would never go unnoticed.

Doesn't MLB also have an age requirement? I'm sure he's too young.

Do they make a movie bad? Not generally.
But do they take away from the experience? Absolutely.

Like what kind of errors? Continuity?

I will just say this.
A certain movie set in 1980 has items in different scenes that are from much later than 1980. One of which I noticed on the first watch through.

If errors took me out of a movie, I don't think I could have watched any movie from 1995-2005 which had a computer.
I still want that movie computer that accesses everything instantly.
But I'd have to learn those cool 3 keyboard strokes that unlocks everything and makes AOL go supersonic.

And I know it's not an error really, but the computer screens getting that faint but thick black line(s) scrolling vertically was distracting

Some do some don't, just depends on the movie- mores specifically how serious the movie is taking itself.
In a comedy like Got Tub Time Machine or The Mask it doesn't bother me at all.
In a dramatic period piece like Gangs of New York or Titanic or Pearl Harbor it is pretty distracting. That's probably true of most period piece (definitely not all- Ben Hur and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly are two that have stood the test of time)
In movies like Armageddon or John Wick or Smoking Aces- which have serious subject matter but approach it with a degree of levity, I'll notice but not necessarily be bothered by it.

I can look past innacuracies if there's enough other solid elements to make the film a good watch. But in the end, it's what seperates good from great.
The Buddy Holly story is a funny example. Although Busey was deservedly nominated for an Oscar, it drives my guitar buddies nuts.
From a forum:
This movie.
How many things can it get wrong?
CBS era big headstock, rosewood fretboard, and that's just to name a few.
Half expected them to kill him off in a Porsche while his hometown was terrorized by a shark.
