Even though you enjoyed the movie, it is my pet peeve when people say plot holes for everything when it is actually by intent and/or supposed to be ambiguous. Nolan, even as recent regarding his films stated everything he puts and NOT put on screen is for a reason and wants people to artistically interpret it for themselves as to how, when, and why as well as even who.

For instance as for the question of how humans were able to build the tesseract, this was the exact same question that TARS stated to Coop. TARS stated that humans are incapable to build this thing in which Coop reasons that it was created by evolved humans (at the very least intellectually with technology) from the future that created it. That's not even a plot hole. It is left to our imagination as to "how" it was done, but to keep in mind, it was only just 150 years ago or so mankind learned to use Morse code, and today we can communicate anywhere in the world. Only a hundred years ago, a train was the quickest way of traveling, now we got a robot doing literal interstellar travel on a comet as we speak. It is purely NATURAL for humans to evolve with technology, to a point in which we WILL eventually master the mysteries of the universe and manipulate it at will to where it is indeed possible to create a tesseract inside a black hole or manufacture a worm hole.

And to answer your question. I believe mankind are running simultaneously. Plan B is supposed to be a fresh new start. It is strongly implied that there are definitely more space stations than Cooper Station. So, I don't think they going to collectively all get there at once IF that's the idea. I also think the plan for the people at the station to find a planet of their own OR wait the Earth is livable again similar to WALL-E. That's why there got those singular piloted ships to go exploring for to seek out new places to call home.

I called it a plot hole simply because I saw Neil Degrasse Tyson say that it was the one part of the movie that created a paradox that he thought wasn't explainable. I'm fine with Nolan wanting it be up to interpretation. The stuff I bolded I totally get, and I'm great with that answer. I guess my question was more about "how did future humans first survive to make the Tesseract – given that there would have been no Tesseract to save them) but Nolan leaves that particular detail up for post-viewing debate."

The answer of it's up to interpretation I'm good with. I also like your answer about the ending. I also took it as it would take a while for everyone to get there, if at all.

The BIGGER question should be... which set of humans evolved to be able to create such a thing like a tesseract? But if you are speaking as with a time paradox, and I mentioned this earlier and it was briefly explained while Coop was inside the tesseract that for the 5th dimensional beings, time being its own dimension is not bounded linear. Therefore, the past and present can exist concurrently (which scientifically speaking is plausible.... the whole time at the water planet is a good example to the manipulation of time). So, basically, The 5th dimension being created it in their PRESENT day which coincide with the Earth's past. (I HOPE this makes a little bit of sense to you).

If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
I don't know why people make a big deal about the score being much louder than the dialogue in some parts, and other audible being indiscernible. Right or wrong, Nolan doesn't think the audience has to hear everything to get the gist of what's going on in a film or a particular scene. This is the same dude that was like :yeshrug: when people were saying they couldn't understand Bane. This sound ambiguity is pretty much a Nolan staple at this point.

Well to be fair he did change Banes voice...and the score is the least of Interstellars problems.

finally watched it

so they sent those 10/12 astronauts to random planets with no way for them to get back :dwillhuh:

act 3 was a whole mind fukk :mindblown: im going to take it as the future humans are the plan b embryos who have developed into gods :wow:

the ending defo should of been better, they barely showed what Brand was doing and it was hard to understand what Murph was saying on her death bed

and also so they are all on the space station next to saturn now but they have no way of getting to planet Edmund?

i liked it but i hate films that end with so many unanswered questions

almost as boring as gravity
and that's no small feat
Gravity had many things going for it. Great cinematography, fantastic score, and a semi decent screenplay. Interstellar had nothing. The check boxes Nolan thought he covered for the Oscars were rebuked. That movie was awful. So awful, it made me remember that the last batman was atrocious. Six hours of garbage. That's what I think of when I think of nolan.

If the future humans who left earth and evolved to help Cooper save Earth.

Who got them off Earth in the first place?

That is the paradox....and made the ending BS....if the evolved humans were aliens...no issues

It's still my favourite soundtrack of the year. Hans really came through IMO. I saw all the films nominated for best score at both the Globes & Oscars and I like this one the best.
