I'm not sure how you can say the film was depressing when in the end humanity triumphed, Cooper was reunited with his daughter, sadly he had missed her whole life, but she had clearly led a life of success and was surrounded by her family at the end. She also basically told him to hook up with Brand to have the life he was meant to have, and that's exactly what he was doing when the film ended. Had Mann (Matt Damon) destroyed the ship or killed Cooper, I could definitely understand your point that it was too depressing but the film's first and final acts were a high note of optimism. I didn't think the physics (time and gravity) emphasis was particularly important. Nolan gave just enough of that and the special effects of space to draw in the viewer, no more and no less.
