There's no indication of an alternate time stream in which humanity could have survived without the wormhole, no indication of anything that could have caused the paradox, everything happens exactly the same way, time and time again.

Nah, they make it fairly clear that it's humanity from the future that does it, and the fact that they're fifth dimensional beings changes everything. Maybe they're humans from a plain of existence that didn't have the Blight eons ago like this reality did, and they're trying to save them from extinction and be the beings they were.

Also, why did Coop send the same messages and do the exact same things he knew he would ignore? Seemed kinda odd.

Also, please edit the title of the thread with SPOILERS. It is usually polite to tag it with spoilers so folks are 100% warned before clicking the thread.

Glad I saw it tonight in 35mm. I can bask in it's glory in IMAX on Sunday and figure out wtf just happened

I'm not sure what to think. I was a little let down. It was no Inception. I didn't come out wanting to see it right away.
So this giant space station is in Saturn orbit, but never sent one ship to check on the other survivor? Even if they were only a few days ahead of McConehey (SP?) she didn't set up that camp in a day that's for sure.

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.

It's beautiful in IMAX, but unlike say Gravity, I don't think its essential. This movie will be fully watchable on DVD, unlike Gravity.
The big thing IMAX gives you is the sound.
There were parts where the bass seemed to want to tear the theater apart.

Yes. During the wormhole and black hole scenes the whole place was rattling.

Keep in mind that Hathaway was very close to the black hole as well, to where I'm thinking she just really sent out her signal away about the same time Cooper was found.

Hence viewers. My OP says we are going to be discussing the movie. The time for discussion without spoilers passed with the release.
Posted on 11/7/14 at 7:15 am to rebeloke
Just put Spoilers, dude. Not everyone is going to immediately get viewers and understand that we're unrestrictively talking about the movie.

What if the black hole ripped open the fantic of space and created the wormhole? We assume wormholes do not occur natural because NASA didn't believe they did prior to Cooper going through the blackhole. Even Murphey says they didn't believe her about Cooper using gravity to relay the messages. Many viewers seem to have the same bias. Love is a tangible thing. It was brought out as a factor. Cooper created a plane in the wormhole not 5th deminsional people. He entered the black hole and exited the wormhole. Now the real puzzle comes in figuring out how the loop begins. Hence the genre of Sci-if. None of this is possible. I've no proof but I'm pretty sure the moment Cooper entered a black hole's event horizon it would be game over for Señor Cooper.

This thread is confusing me even more.
Posted on 11/7/14 at 8:58 am to PapaPogey
I must have missed this part but did NASA have all those space stations built and ready to go for when Murph solved the equation? Also, they mentioned that the population on Earth had dwindled but I can't imagine they saved everyone on the planet. I would hope we would leave the violent criminals behind at least...

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.

I', trying to place the year the movie takes place in.
I'm thinking that John Lithgow was probably born in the 70's or 80's. Maybe even 90's.
Just by some of the dialogue about the past. I don't get the Moon landing thing. Was NASA so hated that they were removed from history?
If the world is now a one world government without borders, do we really think they let NASA have a blank check?
If this did take place at least 60-70 years in the future, are we to think that vehicle production stopped in 2014, like it did in WW2?

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
