Very entertaining but has plenty of poor decisions

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2014)

I'm not going to talk about the unanswered questions and paradoxes. Those were probably never meant to be solved. My problem with this movie was that some key events happen spontaneously with no explanation or reason, other than poor writing (probably). Things that people do. For example, Murph looks at her old note that says STAY and figures out that it was her dad who sent the message. Yes, we do know it was him, but she didn't. How was she able to figure it out from that note alone? What made her so sure? Also, while Coop was in tesseract, how did he come to the conclusion that future humans themselves created it? He seemed very sure about it too. I don't think any person would take any paradox (and this is a big one) as the best answer to any question. It's a very intriguing idea but the movie gives no more thought to it than blankly stating it as a fact. A shame... To me these events seemed like the movie needed to push some ideas to the audience, couldn't figure out how and just made the characters say "Oh, I get it now, it's like this!" without any justification. Otherwise, the movie is really exciting, but we all know that. Is it as good as the ratings show though? I doubt it.
