So you actually enjoyed the cloying sentimentality and the sloppy editing?

A thought, not sure if it's in this thread already but wanted to type it out:
I was imagining how the time paradox could be resolved - if humans are the "they", the helping hand from the future, how would we have been able to access the 5th dimension of space-time and thereby effectively "go back" in time to save Earth when no one from that past would have been sufficiently evolved to build a Tesseract in the first place (where Cooper's character could have sent a message to save humanity back from.) Would it be possible that Amelia's colony was affected by the gravitational effects on space-time faster than regularly perceived time? These then super-sped up humans were the ones who would have then evolved to learn such manipulations. And let's say that Amelia tells the story of Cooper's family and it gets passed from generation to generation and THIS is the tool the future humans use to communicate through because it is a story they know from that time where a person is an a position to use the data to help save all of humanity? (Eh, I know, why not just send the message to Amelia's Dad instead?) And, why might they create the Tesseract? To know that more humans are now alive elsewhere in the universe, that for aeons they were they only ones? Who knows. But that was a fun idea I thought of here as my husband and I were discussing the elements of the film that made sense / didn't makes as much sense.
eta: and I guess the first thought I have in these types of movies - if we or an alien race are evolved enough to plant a wormhole and build some sort of 5th dimension tesseract - wouldn't they have the tech to just come for a visit and say, "Yo, your planet is dying but we can totally help you out with that. Here's a short-list of habitable worlds, a giant spaceship, some handy lessons on spacetime and hey, good luck peeps!"
Too many plot holes. Was not great as I expected it to be. To slow and too long.
A GHOST WOULD HAVE MADE MORE SENSE.
Name one plot hole in INTERSTELLAR.
Shit I hope I don't have to argue with a real believer here.
The main issue I have is - assuming it was humans who made it possible to create the 5th dimensional whatever - how did they create it in the first place if humans died out? It is obvious that the humans survived because of the communication capabilities.
This could be solved if: it wasn't humans who created that whatever or the human colony advanced faster than that of humans on earth.
Major plot-hole in a ST:TOS episode "The City on the Edge of Forever."
McCoy goes mad, beams down to an alien planet and plunges through a time vortex on the planet, visiting Earth's past and changing history. The Enterprise is now no longer in orbit because it never existed, causing Spock and Kirk to be stranded on the planet. But then how did Spock and Kirk ever get to the planet in the first place?
Nevertheless, a brilliant episode and the most popular ST:TOS episode.
3. Did they haveanti-gravity boots? When they landed in the ocean, they were able to walk on the water.
I think Hibberd was trying to be more "amusing" than "maddening," as many of his items aren't really plot holes but just points of preference or things that weren't focused upon.
Were Spock and Kirk near the portal when it happened? I guess they can say the portal was kind of creating a time-warp / neutral pocket, since it was aware o the change itself rather than being caught up in it. But yeah, otherwise... ooops.
Of course, they credit it to harlan ellison, and he disowned the episode; his original screenplay won awards, but it was changed a lot for the episode. I still really like this episode, however.
