I love Interstellar, but will admit the final act is pretty surreal. Still, it seems inevitable for that kind of dreamy and emotional beginning that the cold hard science would have to be lifted at some point in order to bring a satisfying ending that feels complete.
That said, can never forget that cheesy “love transcends the dimensions of time and space” line...
- mcv 6y agoI'm fine with the ending, actually. The laws of physics are supposed to break down in black holes, after all. Of course that also means you can't enter them intact, but for the sake of the story, it's fine. It was certainly interesting. It's just: why would you make the point that you need a big rocket to take off from Earth, and then immediately abandon that point when you reach another planet? I guess the only explanation is really that the story transitions from a real world setting to a space SF setting. Different setting, different laws of movie physics.
- Udik 6y agoAlso, am I wrong or the rocket actually takes off from the inside of the "NASA" office building?
- mcv 6y agoI think you're right about that. Certainly an unusual launch pad. But wasn't it also that they weren't planning on leaving anyone behind anyway? In that case destroying the office building isn't that big of a deal. Although it shouldn't collapse until the rocket is clear of course. Now I need to rewatch that movie.
