who "they" are. Some people were disappointed that they were "able to figure it out right away" but to me that's not the point. The whole thing about who "they" are is something that I have pondered for as long as I can remember.

Because to me, extra terrestrial life is inevitable. However them coming into contact with us is not even close. If anyone is going to contact us, it's us. That's the way I have felt for a very long time, and the way they were able to visualize extra-dimensional communication was excellent.

I like how they explained the dimensions and worm holes. On top of that, how frail we really are if we didn't have our planet to live on.

The only negative thing that I could see about the movie is how it would stretch on for a while. It felt really long, probably because I was tired and it seemed like a 3 hour movie.

Hmm, I always thought that they was the human race that transcended the 4th dimensions. Just like how dude was in the wormhole and did the first handshake.

when matt damon pops out of the hibernation bag?

"they", were the future humans... there's kinda this looping recursive paradox happening here... but time is supposed to be fucked up like that lol.


one thing that i cant get my mind over is...

that planet that had the super waves... my understanding is because it's near the super big black hole, the gravity from the blackhole constantly has the waves/water pulled up high like mountains, thats why they can stand on the seabed all the time... and it's not the waves that are travelling around the planet, but the planet spinning around, and the wave is stationary or something rather... but what bogglies my mind is that... the planet has 130% gravity... 1.3g right?

so they needed a rocket booster like some crazy big ass saturn V type booster rocket to LEAVE earth and get the shuttle up to the bigger engine/docking station... 1g, but on a 1.3g planet they can somehow escape the planets gravity with the little shuttle craft... wut... lol

Yeah the giant waves were basically an interpretation of "super tide"... As in the tiny little moon we have can have such an impact on our surface, imagine what a black hole can do

I don't think it's absurd to think that a space craft that can take off in 1.0 G will be able to do it at 1.3. That's like saying cars shouldn't be able to start moving on a hill.

Of course all this stuff exists in a time where we have some energy source that we haven't found yet. Just one of those things in sci-fi you have to accept... It's not as insane as warp drive though, which I find pretty cool.

i dont think u got what i meant...

i mean ... then why did they need a huge rocket booster to get up to the orbiting "station/engine" from earth? lol... wouldn't it be easier just to fly the shuttle they were already in...

if they needed the rocket booster on earth to get to orbit... they would probably need one on a heavier gravity planet!

Oh I see what you mean now... Just one of those oversights I guess, fodder for those lists of "goofs" on IMDB.

On the other hand, I think the shuttle could have broken through earth's atmosphere without extra rockets... Maybe they just used staged rockets to conserve fuel?

More likely, Nolan just wanted to have a rocket scene in the movie, even if it's a bit anachronistic.

dude waited 23 years. damnnnnnn. Almost as old as me lol

That was my favorite scene. A definite 'whoa' moment. It was acted so well by everyone.

why didn't he just morse code, "hey, it's dad" // or try sending messages through different times of her life // why didn't they just send that robot to survey and recon the ice planet // OR why didn't they just ride it, considering it rolls super fast! 1 hour is 7 years, you'd think they would be pressed for time

I know the movie isn't "plot-hole free", but it was without a doubt powerful and emotional. The imagery combined with the soundtrack emphasized emotion and my eyes got watery when he Cooper came back to the station 23 year later and saw his kids grow all grown up.
