Except for the part where literally everything in the film, from how the debris field is produced, how it acts, and how the characters moves from place to place is all impossible, then yes, it is consistent. Consistently wrong......but consistent.

yeah there was a reason I dropped the Gravity argument

but there were several elements of Interstellar that really annoyed me

most notably: it takes a 3 stage rocket to get the ship off of Earth, then it just hops off the 1.3g planet (that they never should have landed on in the first place) with little effort. Nolan could have at least invented some kind of new rocket drive to keep it consistent

regarding that first planet, wouldn't any signal coming from it be so badly redshifted that they would know everything down there is fricked, even from Earth? They should have known that planet was hopeless and just kept going.
