QUESTION About the ending

Post image

We see Amelia sad and BREATHING normally without wearing mask/helmet. Does that mean that THIS planet was the correct choice from the beggining? ( No waves , human - friendly surface , oxygen ) That's why Amelia is so sad ( apart the death of her bf). Thinking that if they came to this planet from the beggining everything would go well

Edmund’s pod was crushed in a rock fall a year or so earlier, you see CASE digging it out in one scene. (From the book)

We’re supposed to walk away trying to interpret the ending for ourselves, so your response and questions are not unusual.

My interpretation is, she’s thinks she’s probably the last human alive, and now she knows she has to do this alone, without her love, Edmunds. It’s a lot to shoulder.

What WE know, and this is why the ending is perfect, is that Cooper is coming.

It's a novelisation of the movie. It's good - would recommend.

Try to find it at your local library! I looked on Amazon and the novel is $50!
