this movie got HEAVILY carried by the visuals and soundtrack, the premise was completely retarded >yeah we built an extremely advanced space station that we're gonna send through a wormhole into another galaxy in order to find a habitable planet to put an embryo farm on because humans are gonna go extinct because of global crop failure??
>>213969650 >Ok, there's like half a dozen planets to go inspect >we're desperately short on time and need to look at them as fast as possible to make a decision and save humanity >we can go to these prime candidate worlds but they're a few months away >OR! >we can go to this nearby planet that's orbiting a giga blackhole where one whole day will be centuries on Earth, that's 0% likely to be a viable habitat in any way, but there's a signal saying it's totally safe! >come on, let's go to black hole world, in and out, two hours on planet/a few years real time tops!
>>213969520 (OP) >our species is going extinct due to le climate change that we caused, so we must send some of the smartest people out on a terminal mission to prometheus a bunch of different planets and fuck up their eco-system far worse than what we supposedly did to ours >actually we completely solved the issue with our own planet anyways
why was 90% of the movie completely pointless?
and why was the other 10% just some guy yelling MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURPH

It's bathed in hard radiation from the black hole, there's no land mass for viable farming or structures, and kilometer tall waves because of same black hole. It should have been at the very bottom of candidates especially since the idea it would be quick to check is fundamentally flawed due to the time going down to the planet. Years on that planet to look around for an hour, versus a few months to go to the others for in-depth checks.

women are the most materialistic creatures on earth and they will be the first to tell you some zodiac shit like "love transcends time and space"

I dont see it mentioned ever, even by leddit film experts, but Cooper's decision to go to the first planet was clearly a direct reaction to Brand's admission of love for Edmunds. It's supposed to be ironic that Cooper chose skepticism each time and got fucked over for it.

Isn't that the decision to go to the second planet? Which they pick Hugh's planet rather than Edmund's?
>>213970509 >Years ago, in the Burma nebula, we identified a black hole that was consuming gas at an alarming rate. It was an anomaly; an outlaw to science. And it collapsed, as many anomalies do. And then one day, we saw a large planet, orbiting a star the size of a tangerine. Bane is the scariest sun I've ever seen in my career of space exploration. >Uhhh... Alright, alright, alright!

oh you're right. I was misremembering. That makes it even funnier considering it was a 50/50 choice.

It's quantum entanglement stuff. A fumbling attempt to dumb down a theory that humans cannot yet fully understand. It's a grab into the dark. So humans interpret the concept emotionally. We always do that at first with new concepts.
