It's way better than Gravity, which is way overrated. Gravity is Twister in space.

I still enjoy gravity too. Quicker and more about survival.
But Interstellar is an experience. 20 years from now I'll still think about this movie.

Put me in with the stupid crowd.
It was entertaining but the tons of plot holes kept it from being a great movie for me. The whole NASA working underground was ridiculous and I don't get why Matt Damon's character wanted to kill McConaghey. I realize that all movies have some plot holes but the ones in Interstellar were big enough to drive a truck through.

I liked it. There were some plot holes, but nothing too big to deter from the movie experience.
I watched this last year while on a plane to the Philippines for work(30 days away from home). Big mistake. Heart wrenching to watch, as I immediately saw the similarities(I have a 7 year old daughter).

because he had just tricked their entire crew into going to an uninhabitable planet and possibly risked the future of the human race to save his own life when he was supposed to just eat it and die.

Because he was operating on an extreme survival instinct. Instead of sending back accurate data that showed the planet was a waste of time, he said it was a good prospect in the hopes that someone would eventually come. When they did, he convinced himself that only he could finish the mission. Seeing how Brand and Cooper act to the news that plan A was a pipe dream, he decides he is just going to leave them stranded on the ice cloud planet and go finish the job himself.Godsbrother said:
As for NASA being underground, just imagine the political and media madness that would occur if the world's crops were dying off one by one. Could the government really justify spending money on space flight? The year was roughly 2067 when they launched. There was a reference to a war over food shortage some time in there. So I can easily see why people would grow up like the teachers at the school thinking the Apollo missions (a century old by then) were just propaganda.

Not the same, but whatever.
Not even plot holes for me, just silly stuff at the beginning set the tone in a bad way for me - the ghost in the bookshelf, him piloting the mission a day or two notice, seeming like he only REALLY cared about one of the kids, etc.. I just wasn't on board from the start. It looked good for sure, but I couldn't connect with it and thought the last act was terrible.

I think if it'd had a normal ending it would have been a top 10 movie for me. They tried too hard at the end and screwed the rest of the movie up. It was good enough to stand on its own without some mind altering ending, which it missed on.
The scene where he watches the video of his kids after getting back to the ship was one of the best and saddest scenes in recent movie memory.
I wasn't bothered by any plot holes, but if someone was looking for them how about "oh yeah you're that pilot that I go way back with who lives right down the street. Oh hey guys, remember how we were just talking about how none of us knows where we can find a pilot? Good thing you happened to stumble upon us Coop.".

The movie was hot garbage.

Going into a black hole would kill you. There's really no reason to think otherwise. Even if there were some kind of wormhole effect you would be killed long, long before you got there by the gravity.
And time travel really doesn't exist in the sense that you can go back and change things. You can go back and observe things. In fact that might be all any of us ever do to begin with.

Yea so suspend belief for a second because they get into some 5th dimensional #### and fall into a tesseract outside of time. IE fiction. The movie wasn't meant to be completely literal. It was supposed to expand your mind to the possibility that what we think we know is less than 1 millionth of reality.
No one has ever gone beyond the event horizon of a black hole and probably never will. Yes most likely any craft they are riding in will be crushed long before they get to that point. But I loved the imagination of wondering what is on the other side.

I agree that was a bit of a plot hole. NASA needed pilots and their best pilot was a car drive away. They would have recruited him. But still a very good film.
