Inception was easy-peasy to follow, so I can only imagine how Interstellar feels in comparison.

All is well. All was always meant to be well, overreactions across the board are hilarious.

In general relativity, the future is already set. Maybe, they're trying to obtain something from earth that's available only a million years later from the current time period.
If this is a serious assertion, there's a lot wrong with the idea. For one thing, multiple planets are visited within a linear timeframe. Secondly, Earth is not and never will be next to a supermassive black hole. Third, this trope is pretty played out in sci-fi, and I can only imagine that there would be a hint of this in the reviews, not to mention I don't think Nolan would go for it.

Also, going into slightly more spoilerish territory (stuff slightly beyond what's shown in trailers but which can be gleaned from various bits of info from official interviews and articles):
Certainly, time dilation will play a role in the film, with his daughter growing up into Jessica Chastain. But it isn't some surprise reveal like in the Planet of the Apes where they go to a planet and eventually realize it's Earth in the future, instead we're shown what's going on on Earth while Cooper and crew travel in space. Time dilation plays a dramatic role as a ticking clock element, putting Cooper and crew in an almost literal race against time where the last generation on Earth is quickly slipping away.

I wouldn't put it past Nolan to add something weird at or near the end of the movie that we don't expect, of course. Maybe the crew actually attempts backwards time travel as a desperate last resort when they fail to meet their deadline? Maybe they return in time to save humanity, but there's an emotional gut punch when Coop sees his daughter as an old woman? (All just speculation, I don't know any more about the movie than most people on this forum). There's many surreal and surprising possibilities with theoretical physics that could be employed for an unforgettable climax, so I doubt Nolan will rely on a sci-fi cliche.

I ain't giving a shit about any of these reviews. As long as the film stays close to this, and gives me the same feeling I get after watching this, then I will be the happiest man on Earth.
