Question -
with the collection of eggs or embryo's or whatever it was that was going to populate a planet, was there ever any explanation about how that would happen?
is it like a pop-up-tent where you crack a couple together and out pops a human....or, was she going to put them in her then pop kids out of her 'soon-to-be-wizards-sleeve' as quickly as she could?

The 'Difficulties implementing the solution' section makes me feel a little better about not having a clue what they were going to do

The only downside and this is purely a cinema operator issue given the previous posts, the music drowned out the dialogue on a few occasions.
INdeed. Really sucked out some of the enjoyment, a real cock up. Makes me wonder how they et it slip.Lovw the science. It touches on stuff that the best sci-fi authors do, with quantum. Illium and Olympos spring to mind. If you like your science crazy as it goes into the future with what humans may be able to do, then read those two books!
I thought it was an excellent film, and although it had the odd issue overall it was a very enjoyable bit of sci-fi that paid a few homages to older films. The similarities to 2001 were fairly obvious, and I really liked the robots, who seemed like a throwback to the buddy-type robots you saw in the majority of 80's sci-fi movies.
A visual feast and although there were a couple of instances where I couldn't quite hear what an actor was saying, it seemed more like it was because it was deliberately set that way as opposed to the music being too loud due to error.
I found a mildly interesting article the other day that has a short comic strip drawn up by Nolan and an artist to show the story of Matt Damon's character shortly after he landed on his planet http://www.wired.com/2014/11/absolute-zero/?mbid=s...
A question about the ending though: What was the information that Cooper told his daughter? I assume it was something along the lines of how to create an anti-gravity drive or something, otherwise how else could they have gotten that giant office/colony ship off Earth and into space?

It was "quantum data" describing the singularity, obtained when the robot "glimpsed" the naked singularity as it popped inside the event horizon. Somehow this was enough to bridge the quantum-gravitational gaps in the theory and learn how to manipulate gravity, such that they could build that stationA visual feast and although there were a couple of instances where I couldn't quite hear what an actor was saying, it seemed more like it was because it was deliberately set that way as opposed to the music being too loud due to error.

I just noticed the thread on this, rarely in this section of the forum.
I went to see it last Sunday at the Glasgow Science Centre Imax. 60'x80'ft screen and a very powerful sound system.
I'm a big Nolan fan, only one I haven't seen is The Prestige. I thought it was brilliant, as did my two mates; yes you could pick holes as mentioned above, but it definitely entertained! Almost worth the £12(!) ticket price, which is something I rarely say about a cinema trip.
And that explosion made me jump too!

Very true.I don't get the audio complaints, at all.
The only occasion you struggled to hear was during a particularly emotional scene where the characters were struggling to comprehend what was going on, too. The camera was also often slightly out of focus.
Given the massive budget, the flawless effects and production values on display, and Nolans command over the final edit (he's probably the most respected commercial filmmaker out there), just who would sit there thinking...
"This is rubbish; the audio mix is all out of tune!"?!?!
My mate 'So and So' is probably the stupidest human being alive today. He warned me off going to see Intersellar because "It's s
t"
I look forward to hearing his full in depth review.
