....in this film. The "human level" aspects of this film did dominate the surface. And with the physics of Einstein's theory multiplying the years of separation (for those remaining at home)it seemed only to add grief and depression for the astronauts.The movie was over-wrought with honey dripping emotions of love, grief and depression. With the astronauts what hope there was from the onset became systematically replaced with depressing news. At a critical juncture what should have been a calculated choice of destination among our astronauts was chiefly driven by emotion.
And it seemed that the ultimate salvation for the human race was not "plan A" as had been envisioned. Plan B did succeed. But that is where the movie gets complicated. Messages sent via Morse Code to the second hand of a mechanical watch from Coop to Murph. But by means of a 5th dimensional Tesseract where, from within, time and space can be crossed. Depicted as the insides of (between the shelves) a library. But to activate the second hand of Murph's mechanical watch assistance from the crews robot Tars was necessary.
Ultimately I was not involved with the events of this movie. Rather, I was repelled by the depression of it and found myself not really caring one way or the other about the outcome.
A downer of a movie.
