Abrams' flares were real.

Some resources are in this article (Michele Yamazaki has some different references about the flares, also linked below):

But really Abrams and Whedon aren't so bad, given the financial pressures and comparisons to other movies. And I imagine they don't worry about how expensive basic computers are, like many of us here, even when we use Windows just to save money.
