Interstellar - 2014

Well, yes and no... I was liking it enough, but then there was that final... and it all went so down. I liked the story of this father, Cooper (Matthew McConaughey, not a big fan, but he's ok) who lives with his father-in-law Donald (John Lithgow), his 15 y.o. son Tom and his 10 y.o. daughter Murph in a future Earth that is dying; people deny this, but Murph receives code messages from a "ghost" in her room library and Cooper can decypher one: coordinates to a secret place where Nasa is secretly working out a plan to save humanity. There, professor Brand (Michael Caine) tells him of a mission: find a world where humans can go. He accepts and leaves his family not knowing when or if he'll ever come back. Tom tries to be tough, but Murph can't accept to lose him. Cooper goes with Professor Brand's daughter (Anne Hathaway) and two men through a wormhole towards a system with three likely worlds, where other expeditions where sent years before. First one they visit is so near a black hole that one hour there should correspond to seven years, but the man Romilly (David Gyasi, I liked Romilly a lot) counted wrong because they didn't stay long (the world was a continous tsunami and they barely escaped, and lost their fourth man) and yet back on board 23 years had passed. Sort of what happened in a Voyager episode, but reversed.
Now Murph  (Jessica Chastain) has grown up and is working with professor Brand. Tom (Casey Affleck, apparently. Sorry, I had not recognized him) works as a farmer in the family farm and has a wife and a son. His first son died, and so did Donald.
Now the team must choose one of the remaining two worlds: Brand wants to choose the one where the man she's in love with went, but Cooper thinks she's only listening to her heart, not her science, so he chooses the other one. There they meet Mann (Matt Damon, nice surprise! I was not expecting this!) telling them the frozen world they see has potential, a surface where they could arrange something.
The whole movie I had been expecting something to go wrong; at first the robots worried me a bit, but the robot TARS was not Hal9000 at all, it was actually the best part of the whole thing. So when Cooper and Mann walked far away alone, I kept expecting something terrible to happen, and I said so. I said, I keep thinking at any moment Mann is going to hit him on the head or something, and yes, it happened. He had lied completely, sending positive results so someone would come and he could be rescued. Now he wants to steal their ship, after almost killing Cooper. Brand saves Cooper, but Romilly dies in an explosion. Mann accidentally kills himself almost destroying the ship (I guess he wasn't thinking straight, because he should have known he would be sucked out after opening the ship's door, airlock or whatever): Anyway, now there's only two of them, a robot and very little fuel.
Murph discovers on professor Brand's deathbed that he had lied, there's no chance people on Earth can be saved. He solved his equation long ago but it wasn't enough, he lacked data, so lied to send Cooper up there with embryos to recreate humanity! Murph is hurt and shocked, but doesn't give up.
Now, I thought, Cooper is going to throw himself into or so very near the blackhole in order to retrieve all the data he can about it and send it to Earth so Murph can succeed, thus dying to save his family and all of humanity, and it seemed to me a good finale. I was prepared to a few tears, but all in all a happy ending, but it wasn't enough for director Christopher Nolan, or maybe for the American producers (they probably are): they wanted a full-happy ending!! Cooper and TARS let themselves fall into the black hole to allow Brand to reach the third world, where nobody mentioned that her beloved should be much older now, at least 23 years...
Cooper is conscious the whole time, nothing bad happens inside the black hole (...) and he finds himself into a five-dimentional tesseract where he can see his 10 y.o. daughter in her room and realises he was her ghost! Also that no good aliens were involved in sending then a wormhole when they needed one, but it was humans from a distant future that did all that to help them! and that the chosen one was not him but Murph! Cooper can still communicate with TARS, because apparently black holes are not as bad as I always thought, and with his (or its) help he sends me messages to Murph.  The coordinates, of course, but also lots of data, encoded in Morse alphabet in the movements of a clock's hands. Murph gets all that, finds a solution, saves all of humanity, and Cooper finds himself still alive drifting around Saturn where humanity now lives! He's saved! and still young, he meets his now old daughter who's about to die, apparently. She tells him nobody believed her when she told them how her father helped her, and also that he can't stay because he must go to Brand, now alone in a lonely world where her man has died. Cooper leaves.
What a stupid ending! Nobody explained anything to me, just said a few things for everyone to accept!
How could adult Murph suddenly look at her library and think: it was all my dad's doing, he was my ghost! Why? There's no reason.
This thing makes other little problems, other questions look less important, for example "How could future humans help them if nobody even believed her story?" = well, maybe someone in her family did, just one is enough, telling that story to their children and so on for generations, who knows. Although we are not talking about three, four generations, we're talking about hundreds, and it seems very unlikely that any family story could survive for so long and still be believed.
The fact that he survived a black hole! Nothing, after all I don't really know them and maybe it wasn't even a black hole, or maybe future humans catched him while he entered and brought him into the tesseract, who knows.
But Murph looking at her library and going: My dad was my ghost! is absurd. Why would she think that? She can't see him, can't hear him, she's alone in an empty room where nothing's happening. Do they want me to believe that it is because of her love for him? If so, they should have done it better, because I didn't feel love. Cooper finding her is explained by a few words about his love for her, and that's it, just accept it, I love her so I find her! This is what happens to her? She loved him so she understood?? But where was the feeling? I felt nothing in that moment.
Also, for Cooper to be saved, that was too much. Only him of course because he's the protagonist.
And how could old Murph know about Brand's fate? Or that she was alone? Or that she was the only survivor? And anyway, how old should she be? I mean, many years have passed because Murph was 33 and now is old, something like 90, more or less. Cooper was thrown to her in a moment by the tesseract, but the years should have passed for Brand!!
So now what, will Cooper bring her back here or will he stay there with her? Of course her man had to be dead, so we can imagine a romantic future for them. How predicctabeìle and boring.
The ending ruined everything. It makes no sense to me. Please, anyone has a good explanation? As it is, it was very disappointing, I must say. It would have made more sense if some good aliens had given them the means to save themselves, sending them the wormhole. It would have made more sense if Cooper had died to complete his mission, instead they made him almost immortal and Murph omnipotent, apparently. She was smart, yes, but she never suspected the professor's lie until he told her!!
I didn't like the ending as they did it. Maybe the idea was good, but not well rendered, in my opinion.
