Exploration trips would be very short and exploration would be let alone very soon.
However I agree that PvP is very adrenalinic.

Talking of similarities.. was that 5th dimensional tesseract stuff supposed to remind people of Terry Pratchet's L space? And no, I never imagined Larry Niven's to be like a library.
It's a time travel movie. I consider every time travel movie a comedy. I don't mind the fact that future humanity built the tesseract so that Cooper could bootstrap their own technological advance. What I didn't like was the flabby ending. There was no need for the extra bit in the space station, even though I did like the fact it reminded me of Elite's stations.

No. Games can have dangerous elements other than being ganked by Mr Donuts.
one could imagine a 5th dimensional lens so that a 3rd dimensional entity could sit in said 5th dimension, and see the slivers of life as They do. It.. would be confusing for such a being.
Regardless, peering down 2 dimensions (Like us peering down into a dot on a piece of paper) could very well be "seen" as seeing any space in that realms from "the other side of the walls"
If we were to look close enough into that (zero diameter dot)- we would be seeing their world in much the same way.

When you start playing with time, especially the past, you alter the present. There's nothing about changing the past that makes any sense at all. Only in a parallel universe scenario does it make sense, and even then once you've touched it from yours you've contaminated the experiment.
I'd like to see someone explain how anyone can affect the past without also affecting the present. The "butterfly effect" would exist unless you have an infinite number of possible worlds and you can interact with them all, but even then all that matters is the world you changed, because change would still persist in that world. For us it's the only world we know.
+1 simply for yer PJ Bond avatar : )))
who is to say that the test subjects were not in a closed loop of time- a laboratory?
See, claiming that it is future humans doing it all is the trap- at that point you can no longer make sense of it.
But an outside agent, applying these paradoxes from literally outside of our universe.. and its as simple as cut/paste (for Them).
There is no point arguing; those that didn't get it simply did not get it. They could try to see the bigger story, but first they will have to want to.

Its not up for debate. The tesseract is built by future humans. It is a paradox and intended to be so by the writers. It is a circle. A Theme running through the whole film! If you somehow conclude aliens built the tesseract then the core theme of the film falls apart.

All those cut scenes of TV interviews was so non-immersive just as the time travelling scenes in Lucy. I hope they stop that non-sense film style. I guess they got it from 2001 embryo in space!

Like prometheus, i really wanted to like this one but there was too much daft hollywood stuff going on. I wish they would take something gritty like The stars my destination, The forever war or one of Iain banks novels and have a go.

There are no pan-dimensional mega beings. The great thing about Time Travel movies is that the plots are so ridiculous you can stretch and pull them any way you want. Here's my attempt at adding logic to the plot...
Just because I think time travel movies are crazy doesn't mean I don't enjoy them. 12 Monkeys is one of my favourite films. You say it's a shame that the brilliance of time travel movies are wasted on some people. It doesn't help when Hollywood themselves don't understand the plot. One of my favourite short stories of all time is "The Golden Man" by Philip K . I was thrilled to hear it was going to be adapted into a movie. Nicholas Cage. He is a great actor. He was in "Raising Arizona" and "Adaptation" was one of the best films ever.
The movie they made out of "The Golden Man" was called "Next", and it was as good as the remake of "The Wicker Man" <sigh>. All the great ideas and the uncomfortable ending were ripped out to make room for a popcorn action movie.

The buliders of the tesseract are humans. Any evolutionary process they may have underwent has nothing to do to the plot of the movie. The reason why they built the tesseract at that exact point in the space and time of the multiverse is because they know this is the instance when Cooper locates Murph. He thinks he is using the mumbo-jumbo superpower of "Love" to find his daughter but there are an infinite number of times where he didn't find her. Future humans know for a fact one of the few times where he succeeded, because it is part of their history.

It was OK, trying to be Space Odyssey but dumbing it down ruined it really. I really had to look past the whole holywood "small town america" thing and enjoyed thinking about the science behind what was happening. It was thought provoking at least which is more that can be said for most other modern films.
EDIT - And it didn't end in fist fight!
