re: Interstellar - things you LOVED and HATED about this movie

Rewatched last night.

I completely forgot at the beginning of the movie that Murph tells her dad "I thought you were the ghost." Talk about foreshadowing.

Also forgot how fricked up it was for Coop to tell his daughter, right before he had to leave "They chose me. You saw that. You're the one that led me to them." Who the frick tells their child that right before they basically abandon them for the rest of their life? He basically told her "Yeah, I'm leaving and it's your fault."

I wonder what made Tom's first kid (Jesse) die. I assume it was the black lung, which they were checking for later in the movie. But they never really say.

I know there was a lot of discussion in the original thread about whether or not the wormhole was still open at the end of the movie. While they don't definitively say, upon rewatch it has to be. I know that there was some debate as to whether or not Coop was leaving in the end to go find Brand, or just to explore in general..but it HAD to be to find Brand. That was the whole point of his last talk with Murph.

And speaking of that talk, I'm more cool with it than I was the first time around. They both had gotten their closure and said what they needed to say, and she knew that he was meant to do things better than just sitting around waiting for her to die (like going to Brand, for example). I still am not crazy about such a seemingly short reunion between the two of them, but I can at least appreciate it more upon a second viewing.

After seeing this a second time (first since I saw it in the theater), I came away with it with a greater appreciation for it. Especially the ending. And while I still think the last 30 minutes or so is definitely weaker than the rest of the movie, I think they did a solid job with it (as good as they could have with what they were trying to accomplish basically). I think I like it more than I did after seeing it the first time. It definitely could've gone down as one of the GOATs with a better ending, but it's still pretty awesome.
