12 Giant Plot-Holes You Didn't Notice In 2014's Biggest Movies

2. Why The Hell Does Coop Sneak Away To Brand? - Interstellar

A film worthy of two separate mentions, so riddled with plotholes and paradoxes is it. At the film's finale, Coop is on Cooper Station, waiting patiently for his daughter to arrive, which will take a few weeks (where the hell is she? Why isn't she on the same station? Did they suddenly build more of them?) so he goes and sits on his porch for a while and cements his odd couple relationship with TARS. When old lady Murphy arrives she says he should go and see Brand, who is all alone on Edmondson's planet, which seems to suggest that the rest of humanity has forsaken her and are letting her grow a colony alone while they enjoy their spaceship with tasty crops. And when he does decide to go and see Brand, why does he sneak away? Why does he have to steal a spaceship and hide his intent from everyone? Aren't they all on the same team? Why would going to visit/rescue Brand be frowned upon? Oh, and why didn't the future humans - who couldn't exist remember - help their past selves in a much easier way rather than making humanity fall to the brink of doom and requiring a ridiculous over-reaching mission that was destined to fail all along? They're not nice people.
