how is it possible to fuck up sound when so many millions are spent?
no excuses.
hes GF simply says he was born 40 years too early or late, does not mean he has to be 40
maybe hes only 37, then your numbers work
just sayin
While Cooper doesn't become a traditional god, some evolved being gives him to ability to manipulate time and gravity in order to pass information obtained in a black hole back to his daughter. That is stupid. Had they removed that entire part and simply explain a message was able to get through with the data and Cooper was found flying some 40 years later, I'd be perfectly okay with that.
I thought it was great, honestly.
At that point, I was concerned that we would just get boring, cold, and soulless science as he descended into that blackhole, if only to make the handful of nerds happy. What the nerds want for science (Cooper turning into spaghetti for ~eternity, Banks drifting off to some desolate planet, where those embryos had already long-thawed anyway due to the ~2 or 3 tanks of 50lb LN2 tanks they had carried with them, 25 years hence; and humanity learning nothing from this endeavor, slowly starving into dust), will always make for shitty story-telling.
I'm glad this was more Kubrick than anything. There were really only two science problems that this film directly addressed, and from what I have gathered, they pretty much nailed it: general relativity and a concept of multi-dimensional reality. It's quite fine if there are massive holes in all sorts of the science (why do they need a 3 stage rocket to escape earth's gravity, but their little lander has all the thrust necessary to get them off the water planet, with 350% of the earth's gravity? Answer: who gives a shit?)
I want to go more into this, but for now I'll just say that I enjoyed this more than I expected I would. I assumed it would be typical Nolan film with high concepts, but underwritten cyphers for characters; but these people actually had soul. I like that Nolan and his brother have managed to advance their writing and improve their art, this late in the game.
My issue that all the drama in the film was already done to exceptionally, adding this "ghost" shit just muddied it. It was no longer about human survival and all that goes with it, but about some kind of advanced being pulling the strings in the background (giving Cooper access to that 5th dimension representation and him having a means to communicate through time). Had they just skipped that entire part, and had them find the robot drifting where Cooper was with that data, and then like 40 years later, find Cooper in the exact same spot, I'd be okay with it. I wasn't annoyed with the scientific inaccuracies (especially, the energy required to break the gravity of the planets they landed on, as addressing that would completely negate Damon's entire reason for being a dick). It was just the fact they went the whole "unseen hand guiding everything" garbage that annoyed me in an otherwise spectacular movie.I thought it was great, honestly.

It is just something they couldn't address to create meaning in other characters. Had they been realistic and said "whichever planet you pick is where you're staying" it eliminates both the first planet and the reason for a false beacon from Damon's character to happen. Those scientists would have landed with the knowledge that they are on that planet, regardless of the outcome and regardless of their beacon.to save fuel for the real mission and not just flying off earth obviously

Because someone set us up the bomb.
His father said he was born out of his time. That he is a man born either 40 years too late or 40 years too early.
That was pretty much the exact quote. That means the character he is playing is 40 years old.
That's pretty cool :awe:- Prometheus probably needed this too to help understand it by watching a couple times.wow, Paramount/AMC is offering an "unlimited interstellar" ticket
I don't have a problem with them not showing training, but by all appearances they launch with no training. At least none after Cooper arrives. It wouldn't be a big deal, except they later proceed to get blindsided by several things that should have been covered in training...
Dealbreaker? No. Sloppy storytelling? Yep.

I liked it, but I don't think I could watch it again. To me it just doesn't seem like a movie like Inception where you would pick up on that much more watching it again.
Well little stuff - like realizing it was Cooper who shaked Amelia's hand.
I'm still confused about this time dialtion on Miller's planet. If they all passed through the same dilation how could they have landed just a couple hours after Miller once they were all on the planet - if Miller left ten years before them from Earth with the Lazarus missions?
