Revealing mistake: After returning from the ocean planet, the crew has a long discussion on board their ship. Directly behind Cooper, the grey control panels are the pneumatic and pressurization control panels from a Lockheed L1011 airliner. (01:26:30)
Interstellar (2014)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Elyes Gabel
Visible crew/equipment: Murph sneaks into Cooper's truck to get to NASA. Once Cooper closes the vehicle door after placing some blankets into it, a boom mic can be seen in the left wing mirror. (00:22:05)
Trivia: The wormhole was placed near Saturn as a reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Stanley Kubrick had wanted to set 2001 near Saturn, but its rings proved too complex for the visual effects of the time.
Question: When Cooper is walking into Murph's hospital room (when Murph is on her deathbed), why do her family members appear to completely ignore him? Not even a "hello" or any kind of acknowledgement of his presence. You would think that because of what he accomplished in saving the planet or the fact the he is the reason all those people in the room even exist would garner some type of attention.

Answer: Cooper would have already met his other family members (grandchildren and great-grandchildren) when they first arrived at the space station and before going in to see the frail Murph, who made the trip while in-stasis. Because she is so frail, everyone would discuss beforehand how the meeting should proceed. Also, it is already a long-running movie, and adding an extended "meet and greet" scene would drag out the ending and lessen the emotional reunion between Cooper and Murph.
