A huge disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (24 December 2014)

It is normal for films to have some plot holes, like driving through a corn field at high speed with a flat tire. I can live with that.
It is to some way believable, that the US government should deny having been to the moon and at the same time having NASA running with star-trek-like technology like cryo-sleep, advanced robots etc.
But here is a key point, where it failed utterly: The books say STAY. He left Murph, while she was making a big issue about it. I thought at that time, that it meant: Don't try to leave the earth (don't run away from problems) - stay and fix the problems instead. That would have been a very good point.
Instead, it is one big contradiction. Cooper himself is - through his daughter - trying to make himself stay and not leave.
Of course this is because of love for his daughter. Not hard to find out. But if he had stayed, then there would have been no mission, there would have been no "quantum-message" sent/received from the black hole, and the population on earth would have starved or suffocated to death. Is this what he wanted?
By the way - I never figured out if the earth was saved or not in the ending. Murph finds a solution to the magic equation, but what does that yield? Did they leave the earth in a massive space ship, or did they save it? We never know.
As others have pointed out, it is not easy to relate to the characters - I personally lost track of how many people were on the Endurance, and frankly, I lost interest too. I liked the robot,though.
