INTERSTELLAR - Grading & Discussion

[Trekker4747]

I dunno, I think far-advanced humans makes a lot more sense than advanced aliens who found humans interesting. Advanced humans at least have a vested interest in protecting humanity, aliens stumbling upon us, seeing we need help, and then feeling motivated to help us "because we're interesting" takes quite a few more leaps.

I mean, when Cole says it's advanced humans he's speaking mega advanced, like near the heat-death of the universe levels of advanced. To the point they're not "humans" anymore in any sense or meaning of the word beyond citing a likely ancestral point for these advanced creatures which, really, could be seen as advanced aliens who saw humans interesting.

I mean, we'd be talking mega, super, hyper-advanced. Not just advanced as in "us compared to the first single-celled organisms on the planet" but more "us compared to the first single-celled organisms in the universe."

Eons and eons, trillions of years more advanced. Advanced enough to have become Fourth/Fifth Dimension Beings and to have no concept of operating in three dimensions (necessitating the entire set of events in the movie.)

I understand what you're saying, but the movie as written can't work.

One thing that just occurred to me-
Wouldn't the water planet just have a large bulge of 'higher' water similar to our high tide instead of a giant cresting wave?

It depends.. Only if the plot needs it to.

Seriously yes there would be a bulge of water and one of dry land somewhere. It could not have been entirely covered in water.

The waves were breaking on the three foot deep underwater reefs that they landed on and were standing on, like this:

I think NDT concluded that the wave could be a possibility with such a close proximity to the back hole and the depth of the water.

The "back hole"

No the wave is possible but what I had an issue with is that the planet has not one patch of dry land anywhere? What didn't they do any orbital scan before the first person landed?

Must have been a crew of dumb dumbs.. And then she is killed..

Speaking of NDT he is such a player. Check out the body language here.
