What flaws?

I loved the movie, and it was my favorite of last year, but I can think of a few things I'd change. For starters, I would not have had Cooper send himself to NASA's headquarters. This actually creates a paradox, even with the 5th dimensional beings. I'd just have it to where Cooper resigned from NASA after his wife dies, and then the pilot who was going to lead the Endurance mission pass away shortly before the intended launch. Have NASA summon Cooper and basically leave him no choice but to now lead the mission. I have a hard time believing NASA didn't keep tabs on Cooper. I'd keep everything else about the Ghost though, since only Cooper directly leading him there causes the paradox.

I'd also come up with a much better reason for them going to the water planet. That's a clear last resort planet, and they needed a better reason for going down there first. What that is, I don't know, but I wish they thought that through some more.

Finally I would not have cast Matt Damon for the role of Dr. Mann. You needed someone older and more intimidating and inspiring for me to buy that role. I'd go with either Bryan Cranston, Terry O'Quinn, or Ben Kingsley.
