Nice one ChroniC! That's practically word for word my theory too. I think it fits perfectly even if the movie didn't spell it out entirely.

2nd viewing on Wednesday. As previously mentioned, my first viewing at IMAX was visually stunning and thought provoking in how intricate the loops and connections between space, time and human emotions were with the two main characters. The more I think about it the higher it ranks in my all time top films.

Watched this yesterday afternoon at Crawley IMAX.
Amazing. Its not all space and science fiction, there is a great story there. The visuals are stunning, you could freeze a thousand frames in that film and be quite happy to have them printed on your wall. The sound was used so well, between intense loud scenes that made my hair move to utter utter silence where entirely appropriate. Nolan gets the whole "its silent in space" thing and uses it.
My only negative is that I think the last 15 minutes were unnecessary, a little too neat perhaps.
Go and see it and make sure its on the biggest loudest screen you can.
Will be going again next week
I noticed that Nolan didn't focus properly on both of the old people in their hospital beds, nailing the focus on there pillow rather than the face with a shallow DOF, I think it was to convey their age or to stop people picking holes in the makeup. The face of the person talking to them was perfect so I have to assume it was intentional.
Other than that no, all spot on.

I felt the same, at no point did I think wtf even at the end, it was more a curious "Oh that's different and I understand that angle as it's just as plausible as any of our other possible futures, in theory".
It is definitely different to other films in this genre for sure and in a good way.
Imax isn't about 3D! It's about the screen filling, on point image quality!
Did anyone guess a large portion of the story?
Still didn't distract from what might actually be considered a masterpiece
I'm not one to over think films while watching them, but I knew almost instantly that time travel would be involved as his daughter was clearly going to be Jessica Chastain in the future.

Loved it...
The last time I was awed by a film was Inception but this had many more awe moments. I thouth visually it was stunning everything from the ships and suit design to TARS who almost stole the show at times.
I really really want a TARS action figure for my desk that says sarcastic phrases when you press a button....please make this someone.

Your comment should be in spoilers for sure!
Kept away from nearly all trailers, reviews and stills so that never even registered I had no idea of the plot other than Space....didn't even know she was in it!

I was quite shocked at the start that they choose to say the moon landings were fake, and have it as a curriculum in school. I assume this was to convey the public dislike of science at the time.
Shocking though, like the USA would go that mental.

Yep, agree. Spoiler dat yo!

Not against science, but against focusing that science away from Earth and its problems. Earth populations in severe decline, mass food shortages, lack of raw materials and resources and huge swathes of the Earth no longer able to sustain life are all implied. It's about focussing (the context of the film suggests wrongly) society on basic survival (of that society) and not (as the context of the film suggested) expanding humanity as both a species and individually.
It's, in reality, a common revisionist educational tactic employed across many societies today.

Astonishing film. Everything I was hoping for. I don't think there are many other directors/writers out there who could have pulled something like this off. It was entering into the realms of 2001 at times. A proper, intelligent, sci-fi movie. My only gripe is:
I was a little disappointed by the human centric element to the story. I loved the idea of inter dimensional aliens providing a helping hand to humanity in their hour of need. When the plot switched that around so it turned out to be future transcendent humans I was a little gutted but it's a minor story point really.
I prefer my interruption, since what you spoilered seems based on conjecture.
Based on the actual film and its Script. Everything I said is mentioned in the dialogue in one form or another at one point or another.
It was even explicitly explained in the schoolroom..."teach kids about this planet, not tales of leaving it"
