Interstellar Review

Why did they even go to the first planet,they knew that an hour on the planet is 7 years on Earth,the initial explorers left 10 years back,then there is 10 years for them to reach the point where they can discuss about which planet they can go.At this point the scientist Miller has been on the planet for about 2 hours(as she percieves it) and has had much less time to research the entirety of her planet.Wouldnt Mann get more priority because he has more time to research,thus better data?

I have no issues with Matt Damon's performance and his charecter's name,the thing with him and stuff.However there are 12 people on planets within the same solar system.So,why cant they communicate amongst themselves especially since the team can recieve messages from beyond the wormhole,so that information about each planets viability can be provided to everybody.They can communicate with one another,bolstering each other's hope and devising experiments for each other.Also individuals with failed planets could land to another planet(because they managed to land on a planet using the spaceship in the first place and it still works,it can escape the planet's gravity).So Matt Damon's charecter had to be alone because the plot needed him to be.

When I first heard of the statement parent living their lives as their children's memory, was impressed by the line and when he spoke of not being his daughter's ghost,I thought he was speaking metaphorically.I hoped and prayed fervently that the ghost she sees can only be important in order for Cooper to teach her the importance of the scientific method.But once Cooper starts hurtling into a black hole,my hopes sunk.Nolan was being cheesy,cheesier than I can imagine.I thought that the scene in the Tesseract was interesting,it had a great emotional punch,but is set up in the worst possible way.He has to tell her the secrets of time and space so that humanity of the future can build a wormhole,build a Tesseract and wait for Cooper to use it to save the past so that they exist.And there is a time travel paradigm there,in this movie the past cannot exist without the future(which obviously cannot exist without the past).

This is reminscient of one of my favourite movies The Terminator series,but there is a major difference,in that case the future is trying to proactively change the past to be completely different.And even in that case the events in the past do not depend on the future performing a particular sequence of actions to take place.And these actions depend on the actions in the future taking place exactly the way they do.I think this might be a deadlock.

So if you could manipulate time,create wormholes and retrieve people from black holes,the why are you dependant on this event occuring perfectly in the past.I would like to see something like Issac Asimov's Foundation trilogy where they predict the possible future of societies using psychohistory.So,what if they could manipulate the course of humanity's past by informing them of this solution before Cooper and subverting the need to build a Tesseract.However this entire plot strand of the past and the future being mutually dependant on very deterministic events is bothering to me.I would love to see a movie about humanity capable of manipulating time and space doing something cool.

I have problems with another narrative element which no body seems to mention,what is the blight,the Wheel of Time series does a better job of explaining its blight than the science-fiction movie Interstellar does.Why does the Blight breathe Nitrogen,why did it turn humanity into a race that abhors technology.With so many plausible explanations available,why does the movie use the term 'Blight'?I believe they needed to provide a reason for a NASA pilot to become a farmer.Couldnt you just say,the actions of human beings on this planet were heavily polluting,reckless and irresponsible,the greed of humanity destroyed the viability of life on this planet?In that case people should abhor greed not technology.

Communication between the original 12 explorers and NASA breaks down once they reach their planets.In the movie communication can go across the wormhole,why not build a communication satellite orbiting Saturn or one of its moons,which recieves messages from Earth and sends it across the worm hole to the pioneers on these planets,thus establishing better communication with Earth.This could solve the uncertainty of which planet to send a follow up mission to,to a great degree.

If the Earth is dying and there are no resources on Earth,where do they get the resources to build massive space stations?

Do not get me started on how Cooper is accepted by NASA as a pilot because they did not have one.Do not get me started on Micheal Caine's charecter either.
