So Earth is flat because I say so?

*** THERE ARE SPOILERS BELOW - IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE, YOU SHOULD SEE IT FIRST ***
To begin with, I think Interstellar is a pretty decent movie with some outstanding visuals. Nolan plays in a league by himself, and Interstellar is no exception. It's the type of movie that stays in your head for a long while after seeing it.
That being said, I will not review the plot or the actors performances further. The reason I felt compelled to write this review was in order to raise some critique regarding the "hard science" of the movie, and why - in my opinion - those aspects of the movie can be unhealthy.
In "The science of Interstellar" you can listen to Kip Thorne, a renowned scientist (and one of the sponsors of the movie) saying that he helped keep the movie very close to the science. A famous and respected science guy named Neil deGrasse said in another interview that he gives Interstellar a "8 or a 9" on a scale from 0 to 10 on plausibility.
Let's be frank: this is the movie where a guy travels into a black hole and drops books from his daughters bookshelf some 50-80 years back in time and millions of light-years away. He is then teleported out from the black into space, millions of light-years away.
Now, there is nothing remotely plausible with that - in fact, such scenario has no support what so ever from current science. It is totally OK to portray in a movie anyway (even if I would except more from Nolan) - but it is not science.
