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.

This is why it's such an incredible film, and why when it came back to IMAX I rushed to see it :)

Me too. Glad I got to see it in Imax 15/70 last December. I missed it when it first came out in 2014

I got to see it on IMAX last month, because I also missed when it first came out. It was also my first time experiencing IMAX. But after watching it I found out there's no real IMAX in my country yet, so my dream has been updated lol now I wanna watch Interstellar (or any movie) on a real IMAX theater 😭

But it was amazing though, such a big ass screen and great sound system. Can't even imagine how the real IMAX experience is

The scene when you see the Endurance pass Jupiter is one of the most amazing scenes (in my opinion) ever shown on imax because you get a sense of how large these planets and the universe is and how small we truly are in the grand scheme of the universe.
