12. Why Cooper?
Just a few minutes into the movie, we are told how much NASA wants Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) to pilot their spacecraft on an Earth-saving mission after he lands up on their base by accident. This raises some major questions about the plot – Why is Cooper so perfect for the mission? Wouldn’t it require extensive training to go on such a mission and since NASA had been planning its course for years; doesn’t it make sense for them to have trained someone beforehand? And, if Cooper was indeed so perfect, why hadn’t they gone looking for him before?
11. A Crashed Government Pumping Out Millions?
We are told that the government is army less and on the verge of collapse then where exactly is all the money to pour into NASA experiments and plans coming from? Couldn’t they have just figured out how to grow crops in greenhouses or on spacecraft or anything instead?
