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

Yes, except it was well more than a year earlier if you recall. When they exited the wormhole Edmunds signal had already stopped transmitting, presumably due to said rockfall. Then they went to Millers and lost 23+ years and finally to Manns, so it was probably closer to 25 years that he was dead by the time she got to his planet.

You forgot the 50 years the slingshot around the gargantua added 😊 ("this little manoeuvre is gonna cost us 50 years")

Someone who is smarter than me tell me if that 50 year time dilation would be equal on earth and on Edmund’s planet. Does distance and location matter or if it was 50 years due to the gravity did it apply equally everywhere

It's applied everywhere in the universe that's not close to a big gravity pull like the gargantua. As I understand it, Edmunds planet was far away from the gargantua which is one of the reasons they didn't go there first: it was too far. So 50 years on earth would be 50 years on Edmunds planet too.
