Added DiffLines:

* If you have claustrophobia or a fear of isolation, this film will ''not'' be kind to you.
* Mann's breakdown over the length of his mission and FaceHeelTurn is both this and a TearJerker. The man just doesn't want to die, but a lot of the things he says and does once he's revealed to have gone off the deep end are pretty creepy.
* Although the ecological aspects of the movie are [[ArtisticLicenseBiology shaky]], the ways in which Earth and society are gradually breaking down, and in which people are trying to keep them going, are strongly reminiscent of previous disasters; as a result, they have a [[RealismInducedHorror emotional weight]] that partially balances out the limitations of the science.
* The waves on Miller's planet, which, courtesy of the same gravitational forces causing the extreme TimeDilation, are so huge that they're initially mistaken for mountains. They killed Miller before the ''Endurance'' reached the planet, and by the time Cooper realises what they are, one has snuck up on the Ranger and is about to turn it into the log flume from hell.
