The movie was a mess. Far too many plot holes and WTF's.
don't know about that, I chronicled some of my wtf moments:
* Indian military drones run amok
* -with extreme value solar cells
* NASA operating clandestinely and in MM's back yard
* idiotarian teachers "we don't teach the moon landing any more"
His future earth seems troubled with some of the stupidity of the current gen of climate change obsessers that lack any real understanding of science.
The rest of the story is actually decent.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It also did something I thought would be impossible, (spoiler)
it caused me to legitimately hate a character portrayed by Matt Damon.

Supposedly in the initial drafts, that was supposed to be much more important in the grand scheme of things in the movie, where the solar cell comes in a lot of handy later in the film.

To me it's not that NASA is in his backyard (he worked for them in the past after all and I don't think Cooper has gone too far from where he worked for them), it's that NASA wasn't aware that he was around or think to go looking for him. They've known about the wormhole for 50 years and were sending probes into it when Cooper was flying for them. They would have certainly at least kept tabs on him.

I like that, because really it just shows how fricking embarrassing we've become as a species. We haven't technically left the Earth's atmosphere since 1972, and we've become really stagnant as a species obsessed with pointless bullshite. Cooper's generation in the film was nicknamed the "Caretakers", which actively promoted being stagnant as a species and to look at everything we did in the past as merely a waste. Trivializing the single greatest thing we've done as a species is propaganda to make people just focus on their immediate livelihood rather focusing on dreams and ideas.

Just a few issues off the top of my head...
Textbooks with no moon landing? C'mon man.
Cooper finds NASA secret base in his backyard and is only pilot left for mission.
They can grow plants in space? Why not greenhouses on earth?
The spacecraft and orbital mechanics are not consistent and are changed to suit the plot as required.
Morse code transmittal of quantum mechanics equations... not possible or would take forever (which earth/Murph didn't have). I think this could've been handled in a better and more believable way than morse code on a watch.
They can send video messages through the wormhole but only rudimentary yes/no signals back to earth.
Why send people in the first place... why not the super advanced robots?
The whole part with Mann and the fight made no sense except perhaps as a plot device to damage Endurance. Mann's whole plan was unclear and hard to follow. And why did they walk all that way to the glacier? They had 2 ships... fly one or send the robot.
Are they drinking corn beer?
Cooper spent the whole movie trying to get back to his family only to spend 2 minutes with his daughter on her death bed. And at the end why hasn't Anne Hathaway aged the same as Murph? Was she in cryo-sleep or something?
How is Cooper comunicating with SARS inside the black hole? This shouldn't be possible. Maybe it's some 5th dimensional physics. Eh... this one wasn't a big deal to me.
Why didn't the advanced humans just give the gravity formulas to someone?
Romily waited 20 years alone and is like... Oh hey guys how'd it go?
If the plan b was the original plan all along, why didn't the Lazarus people start colonies with fertilized eggs?
Lastly, you can't travel back in time to save yourself.
