 I get the idea behind it, yet such a tide would slow down and stop the planets rotation over time. Even the weak moon's gravity has slowed down the earth significantly over time. Plus if the wave was that high from gravitational attraction, why are they falling off it in the lander... The whole planet would be deformed anyway and getting constantly torn up inside by gavitational friction. Unless it was some alien super sphere constructed from unknown strong materials with water dumped on it as a reservoir. Just as plausible at this point :) 

Then there's the little issue of 1 hour = 7 years. That's quite a massive gravity well to climb out of I would think. The difference between on earth and off earth is 0.0219 seconds less per year. I can't imagine what you would need to escape the gravitational pull that makes a year last 8.5 minutes. It probably would make that huge tide on that indestructable marble :p

Gonna watch that video now. Interstellar one should be fun too. Docking with a spinning space station out of balance, basically a giant wobbly wheel. Then applying thrust outside the center of mass to escape orbit. It would just start the station spinning again. Same thing later when one lander runs out of fuel before the other. The last hour seemed more plausible than all that. It was great to watch anyway and nice they paid homage to all the scientific principles before running all over them.

It can not slow the planets rotation because its not moving at all..to slow it down or to stop it it would have to be a much stronger force than a big wave,I think.. about the ship I remember they could barely walk which means there was no zero gravity so its only natural how the ship and the crew behaved. so how was the wave affected by zero gravity (or black hole pulling it up) but not the rest.. my best bet is that the planets gravitational field (when the wave was created) at some moment was off place and probably still is (probably fluctuating) so it got caught by the black hole in the higher orbit or there would be no wave AHAHHAA I dont know weird things happen around a black hole .. I blame the black hole.

planets and suns can orbit around a black hole for thousands of years..I didnt really get the part about those freakin years I cant even start thinking about them..

didnt they turn off the thrusters before docking ? then they applied forward thrust while the station was still spinning but that would not make it spin even more..
