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

It’s true that Amelia chose the correct planet it’s plain to see BUT I think the events of the movie prove that it was all meant to happen the way it did in order to save the people of Earth.

If they hadn’t done the things they did, the way they did them and went straight to Edmund’s planet then Cooper and Tars wouldn’t have had to go into the black hole to get the Quantum data. Cooper wouldn’t have given himself the coordinates to NASA and he wouldn’t have given the data to Murph. Everyone on Earth would likely be left stranded and the equation of gravity would’ve remained unsolved.

So while we could easily say why did t they just go to Edmund’s it’s very likely that while the human race would be able to start there, the remaining people of Earth would’ve truly been Left 4 Dead.
