Pretentious movie with huge plot holes and absence of logic

Rating: 1/10 (14 January 2015)

While watching any SCI-FI / action movies it expected to belief certain unexplainable theories and accept that good guys are more lucky then bad guys etc. I am OK with that. But, if you want to make a good movie, you make people actions/emotions believable. Well, apparently, Interstellar's writers do not care about that much. Absolutely pretentious movie with convoluted plot that does not make much sense
beware of SPOILERS !
Let me just name a few story holes :
1. Reason for the dust storms never explained and it seems that humanity gave up so easily and somehow certain "bright" individuals decided that it's time to leave Earth instead of fighting. You can grow crop underground or under the cover. Why not ? Seems like the weather is really bad and yet baseball field and corn fields do not have any evidence of the dust . Nolan could easily come up with more believable story like random and uncontrollable sun rays coming from the sun etc. He is shown as caring dad , yet he is OK to drive children across unknown terrain in a truck with a blown tire just to get the drone under control. And what's the purpose of this chase ? They did not get anything useful from drone.
2. As others pointed out it's hard to believe NASA would not know a former best pilot lives nearby. Also why on earth Cooper (in 5D) used the sand to show NASA coordinates.
3. First planet (with huge tidal wave coming our of nowhere w/o any wind etc): You see a huge wave approaching and yet you try to find some piece of equipment when it's clear this planet cannot be used for colony. If I were a female, I'd call the director a chauvinist pig for showing Ann's character that stupid. Also, how come time is so compressed on the planet surface but run at regular speed on orbit ? And why the guy waited for them on orbit did not use cryogenic chamber while waiting for them (or may be he used and I just did not hear it due to "heartbreaking" sound effects).
4. Second planet (with Dr Mann): Even assume Dr Mann got mad for failing to choose a good planet, why he did not just leave them on this icy planet stealing the ship ? It does not seem like he wanted to kill them all (at least he did not try to kill Ann's character) . Then again how he or Copper's crew did not check the planet before landing to it ? Just a simple drone would show the planet potential.
5. I am not going to comment to the travel to 5D hole. Even if he (along with the robot) managed to stay alive, what kind of information he sent to his daughter and how it helped to change the Earth climate to normal ? It's never explained.
6. Cooper relationship with daughter is awkward. It seems he wants her blessing to go on a trip but what he expects from 10 years old who's father is leaving and mom is dead. She is quite disappointed but to assume she would hold a grudge on him after 10+ years is preposterous. Somehow he (or the movie director) does not seem to care at all about his son. Why ? Is son just not good enough ?
7. Any colony on the new habitable planet is likely going to struggle with some natural disasters . it's an absurd to assume it's easy to find the planet with the exact nature/climate/air as Earth has. Again, why not to fight the weather on your home planet. If the explanation is that it was "THEIR (future super humans)" plan
8. Assuming that Cooper survived the second (time-changing) trip through the black hole, how he expects to find Ann of the same age he left her ?
In summary I can say that Nolan tried to make sci-fi movie and drama movie altogether but failed in both directions. It does not seem like a solid drama movie , neither it's a good sci-fi due to so many plot holes and absent of common logical sense. I'd rate it 6 or 6.5 if I did not feel the rating of the movie is bloated by people I am loosing faith in.
