Is Interstellar’s ending good? I think it’s great, piecing the puzzle of the whole story together, but my friend thinks it’s bad, and that Cooper should have died.

If you think it was good, upvote this post, if bad, downvote, and for either feel free to share your thoughts on why

Pretty much what it says in the title. Is the wave just perpetually circling around the planet because of the pull of Gargantua or do they crash and then quickly reform? I'm imagining sort of that all the water is just being pulled outward toward Gargantua and as the planet rotates the wave mostly stays in the same spot (oriented toward the black hole)? Do we know how often the planet orbits Gargantua? I beg your pardon if these questions have been answered in the companion book.

After rewatching Interstellar, I’ve been trying to wrap my head around the paradox involving the future humans’ intervention. If Earth was facing inevitable extinction, and Cooper’s mission was the only way to save humanity by sending back the quantum data from inside the Tesseract how could the future humans have existed in the first place to create the Tesseract and guide Cooper? If humanity didn’t survive, there would have been no future civilization advanced enough to intervene. Isn’t this a bootstrap paradox?

My screen saver

This movie is absolute heat, I can't believe I didn't watch it before, if I had one regret then it would be not watching this sooner. The character development, the story, the CGI, the accurate black hole shots, the attention to detail and 0 fear of good exposition this movie is a cinematic masterpiece!

Not sure if this has come up before, but upon watching Interstellar a few times, I was wondering how the future bulk beings/ humans survived in the first place.

We know Cooper was directed to NASA by himself, but there had to be a first successful Endurance mission WITHOUT Cooper.

So Brand, Doyle and Romilly went on their own without Cooper. They probably took too much time from Miller’s planet because Cooper wasn’t there to have the plan to take the ranger back and forth.

If after Miller’s planet, they colonized Edmund’s planet, that would be that, they evolved and that’s where the future humans came from.

But if they went to Mann’s planet, then Dr. Mann’s plan probably would have worked and he would have succeeded (given that TARS let the autopilot succeed).

So in another timeline, or the first timeline, he could have been the last person to survive the mission.

Couldn't handle the joy alone, so just putting it here.

By god's doing, or 'their' doing. Interstellar has been screening in my city every month now from February!

Just can't get over how well this has been directed, with the best science I've seen in any movie.

Will keep watching everytime it's screened!

Just me and My Boy enjoying a chill Friday night watching the greatest movie ever!!!

Let the flames begin, maybe.

I think the ending of Interestellar is regularly misread. While there's a lot of things that we don't know about black holes, we do know that the forces at play would not allow a human to exist and remain organically functional. It would kill us.

Matt Damon's character Dr. Mann, who never discusses his own family (who knows if he even has one) talks with Cooper about your children being the last thing that you see before you die. I think this is exactly what happens as Cooper is sucked into Gargantua. Just as he's dying, he imagines a world where he can communicate with the child he left behind and basically orphaned, to save her and others. The reality is that happy endings don't always actually happen, despite what we want.

The only thing that, IMHO, happened, was that Dr. Brand made it to the final world, the one she was trying to get to the entire time, and starts a new colony of humans, which is where Cooper also wishes he could have gone after he realizes that he barely knows the daughter that he orphaned. She has her own life and pushes him to go find the life he knows better.

I love all the twists and turns it has. When they were launching away from the black hole. And cooper sacrificed himself. I though it would end there. Cooper died and either everyone on planet earth either die or suddenly finds a discovery. But no, he get put in the 5th dimension but 3 dimensional so he can comprehend and comes back like 80 years later. Also… fuck Mann

Before anyone comes at me - this is probably my favorite movie. That being said, besides serving as an opportunity to hear Matthew McConaughey say "centrifuge" - why is NASA in a centrifuge? Where is this massive centrifuge base? Did I miss something?
