    That pulled me out of the movie like a black hole. I loved the visuals, the music and everything. The fact that the guy sat alone in a spaceship for years really messed with me. Then there was the love dimension stuff and i was just like: alright, do i have dishes to wash or something?

      What do you mean with “love dimension”? Are you talking about the inside of the black hole? That was explained with the future humans constructing a space that Cooper could understand, navigate, and use to transmit the data necessary for human survival to his daughter. Love is what made his daughter believe in him and attempt to decode the message, but the space itself had nothing to do with love.

      Especially because they tried to shoehorn it in as some kind of scientifically unexplained phenomenon. It’s not unexplained; we have a fairly good understanding of both the genetic predisposition to form families and care for them, as well as the chemistry of oxytocin dopamine and serotonin, and although we don’t know exactly how they work, we know that they facilitate emotional bonds. This doesn’t make love any less precious, but it’s not some trans-dimensional thing that can connect us.

      If only they would have just used quantum locking instead lol.
