re: The official Interstellar thread (spoilers)

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.
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.

I think they were enticed by it because it was the closest one and the astronaut who landed on it signaled that there was water. Water is the biggest deal when it comes to supporting human life.

You talking about the water planet? As they were about to land, I remember thinking okay so they'll float on the water. Pretty weird and cool that it was only a few feet deep

Yeah, that bugged me so much. It took a huge Saturn V style three stage rocket to escape Earth's gravity, yet they can go to a planet with 30% more gravity than earth and fly right off, from water like a plane.

time was so slow on that planet, that the people who died on it, had literally just died.

This is really the only major thing that got to me in this movie. That planet should have without question been the final one they visited. Who cares if it's the closest one, since it's going to take you in the very least 7 years to return? Why not just go to Mann's and Edmond's planet, that have the benefit of not being affected by the time delation. That should have been the Mines of Moria route, not the first stop.
