1) they interviewed cooper before his daughter got there
2) is irrelevant but he would be dead bc of the time slippage experienced when they crossed the horizon
3) she did have the GOD gravity equation. i doubt it would be hard to figure it out.
(1) last time Cooper saw her he was slinging her off in a partially busted up ship that they were hoping would make it to a planet of uncertain livability. Far cry from confirmation she is alive.
How is (2) irrelevant? Going off to be the only man with a the only woman on a planet and going off to join a couple on a planet are two very different things. Daughter specifically says Hathaway is alone, should we just assume she's full of shite? And didn't Damon say the last time he froze himself that he turned off the automatic wakeup? Why wouldn't boyfriend do the same making the time slippage irrelevant?
(3) She may well be able to calculate relative real time, but that isn't the same thing is calculating "age" in a universe where human beings can be frozen for indefinite periods of time. And she specifically doesn't know if Hathaway is freezing or not, since she says something like "She might be preparing for the long nap."
And you ignored the other part, which is that I'm required to believe that, despite apparently having mastered space travel throughout the solar system in the past several decades, humans have lost interest in the earth-like planet gifted to them by gods and the magic passageway to reach it despite having a large space station sitting near said magic passageway.
So yes, a 15 minute explanation of why the human race completely lost interest in a magic wormhole and anyone who went through it would have been nice.

yea so don even try and see if she alive leave her or dead? take a guess as to why he went alone and stole a ship

he is going to save her, his sole intention wasnt to go and frick her. thats an added bonus. if the other guy is miraculously alive, you think cooper is going to turn around and say "nevermind im not saving you"?
quote:like i said she has faith the higher dimensional beings would drop cooper off at the same time Brant got to the planet and that would add to why cooper needed to steal a ship and go alone.

That would be dumb bc Christopher Nolan specifically said it was still there. It was posted in thread early last year
I thought one of them (Nolans) came out and said that the wormhole was gone..?? I may be misremembering that, but I thought that happened and it caused even more debate.

It's a lot like Gravity, which also comes off as smart, too
Comparing Interstellar to Gravity shows you have such an obvious axe to grind.
I enjoyed it the first time and somehow found it better the second time around 2 weeks later. The actual emotion in the movie is very well played when you aren't trying to keep up with the plot.

If I would have watched this movie as a kid, I would have wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up. I wouldn't have succeeded but I would have tried.

I'm not referring to the science really. The issues I have with it are far more story related and, I suppose, the manner in which the science was used (mostly Nolan's inexplicable desire to have Cooper insist (and by extension Nolan himself insist) that humans made the tesseract which introduces an unnecessary time travel paradox).
It's not a stretch to believe that some humans somehow survived through toughing it out on earth, that MANY years later as they evolved to 5th dimension beings that they had the technology to make it easier on their ancestors. They created the wormhole, and the tesseract to select specific humans (Cooper and Murph) to accomplish this).
ETA: Yes the 5th dimension beings essentially kill themselves off in return for a new future created that saves humanity.

And Matt Damon.
I'm in the camp that thinks that the casting of Damon for this role was borderline genius. I feel like he nailed it with casting Damon because I'm looking at it from the perspective from the back-end of the mission, if that makes sense. I wasn't expecting Damon to emerge from that sleep chamber, and immediately I felt myself liking Dr. Mann even more BECAUSE he was Matt Damon (not to mention all of the other praises of Dr. Mann throughout the film), who is so recognizable and admirable in most of the roles he plays. And then he unexpectedly pushes Cooper off the cliff and everything came crashing down on me leading to the climax of the film. It was truly a wave of emotion when I saw that entire sequence of events unfold.

I agree with this. This is like comparing apples to plutonium. Gravity was a chick flick in space - and not a very good one - although it looked good.
Interstellar is a smart (however the small flaws might be picked at), forward looking, dynamic, intriguing science fiction movie - one of the best such films in 20 years.

then sometime later Christopher Nolan said it was still open and it was not suppose to be ambiguous

And then, when they finally do get to meet up, both are like "hey...well this is awkward, bye." And then she sends him off to do (1) something unclear with some woman, (2) on a now-moot mission although apparently no one has bothered to tell her, (3) that she doesn't know, (4) that he never had a particularly good relationship with, (5) whose relative age is completely unknown, and (6) that as far as either of them know is alone with her boyfriend or dead, and his response is "Good call, well, I better hurry right this moment without permission for no reason, have fun dying and also I have no interest in meeting my grandchildren or great grandchildren and they have no interest in meeting me". The End.
Same reaction here.

the only real problem I had with interstellars premise is that the new planetary system they picked out (by looking thru the wormhole as I recall) was dominated by the most dangerous destructive object we know of, a black hole
sure seems likely that right there would be enough to keep looking for a traditional solar system

The part where it turns out the guy was waiting for them for 23 years was fun. It's like waiting for now since 1993. I thought Tom Hanks had it bad on that island.
One question though, did the people age when they were in that sleep chamber?

Yea that guys essentially wasted his life and everyone probably basically forgot about him as well. Sucks for him

The wormhole had to be placed by Gargantua, it is the source of the wormhole's power.
