In general, to love or hate this film and Nolan became a matter of fashion, self-determination and faith - in 2014, viewers were divided between those who prostrate in prayerful ecstasy at the words "Nolan" and "Interstellar", and those who ostentatiously challenge the crowd, branding them with shame. I'm not going to review this crowd, I'm not going to review the personality of the director and all the mass hysteria of that distant year. I only write about the movie.
1. You're our best pilot, lead our rocket to the stars. True, an hour ago we did not even mention you, we did not look for your astronaut file and did not send you an official invitation, but since you came with a fomka to break our gates, then lead our ship!
2. We have a wormhole 10 years near Saturn, you can fly back and forth. Saturn is not hanging still. Is she orbiting him? If it opened near Saturn, it will soon be elsewhere.
3. One astronaut says to another: “Look, there’s a black hole, nothing can escape from it, not even light.” Yeah, I know what an accretion disc is. But when one thing is said and the opposite is shown, it looks like a comedy.
4. I never thought I'd see a robot worse in a movie than Star Wars' R2D2. There was a completely non-functional bucket, which is not clear how it exists, moves, fights. But here... A galloping “chumodan”, who does not bend his knees, but nevertheless, he somehow can run, while carrying a woman in his arms, although in theory this monster would simply collapse and wriggle.
5. There are planets around the hole! It is emphasized that the first of them almost scratches on the surface. Tidal forces? Roche's limit? She'd be wrapped in a thin thread of nucleons. And where does light and heat come from, if only the stars give them, and BHD lets nothing go?
6. On this planet, an hour is equal to 7 years in the rest of the universe – let’s go there fast, let’s see. Of course, it is so easy and promising, will miss the lives of everyone we know, just business! Did they not realize before the landing that the time of the reconnaissance cosmonaut was also slowing down, so she would not have had time to collect any convincing information? What kind of communication devices do they have that they can't distinguish a landing signal from a suitable planet signal?
7. Dr. Man was a coward who thought only of saving his ass. How did he get into the astronauts? This project? How could he sign up for such an intelligence mission? Why didn't NASA's psychological tests reveal this?
8. "Man, you scoundrel, there is no surface on this planet!" - what are you worth, clown? "You lied to us that the planet is fit" - you saw for yourself that there is ice everywhere and you can't even breathe. What claims?
9. There are two plans: the evacuation of mankind or the transportation of embryos, and the heroes are tormented which of the two to choose. You could supply scout ships with germs and colonization equipment, and get a few colonies for free, and only then you can think about which one to take a large ship.
10. Glavger falls into a black hole and... You know, in science fiction, this is one of the favorite themes – this is what happens if you fall into a black hole. They write about it, they theorize about it, they film transmissions and what options they did not come up with. I remember walking with boys when I was 6 and one of them asked the other, "What happens if you put your eggs in the fan?" That's the same question. Your eggs aren't going to fall into the parallel universe or the fifth dimension, no, they're just going to be ripped to figs and wrapped on blades, that's all. The same thing will happen to a person in BH. And then a man fell into it and got into a bookcase! Oh, shit now. By the way, the hit from the BH in the bookcase was already described by Roger Zelazny in the half-witted story “Three attempts by Jeremy Baker”. I doubt that Nolan came up with the same thing independently, just stole it.
I could have listed a lot more, but I chose the main ones. Suffice it to say that the film is absolutely secondary - this is an expanded (mistakes and follies) version of "Space Odyssey": a man, led by the mystery of powerful aliens, flies to the beautiful far, on the way communicates with the robot and arrives in the end in an ordinary room.
