I absolutely love Interstellar...but... I have a few issues with it.
Mann's planet. Why would anyone want to live on that destitute planet? Why did they think it was a viable option? 67 hours of cold days, and 67 hours of far colder nights and no breathable air...seriously? I'd rather live out my days on Earth, even if it was dying.
Now, the big one for me is the ending. Coop has been through something that no other human had ever experienced...time travel and time dialation. He even experienced the tesseract. He finally reunites with his daughter, who is dying of old age, surrounded by her kids, grandkids, and great grand kids and she doesn't even introduce Coop to any of them. Then, she tells him to basically hit the road with the lame excuse that no parent should have to watch their child die. How does she know Dr. Brand even lived? Did Brand send her location to the Station?
The more I watch it, I'm starting to believe Coop died sometime in his travel..as did all of them, probably when he went into Gargantua. The Tesseract was his transition to the afterlife where he had access to the other dimensions and times where he had the ability to contact Murphy as a "Ghost". Mann says something earlier that could be a clue.. that the last thing we see before we die is our children.
It's been documented over and over that people who are in the process of dying see deceased loved ones. Could it be that Murph saw her Dad as a ghost and she released him so he could transition?
Now the only thing that throws that theory out the door is when Coop enters the hospital room, it's apparent that he is seen by at least one of the people.
