Insanely brilliant...but not everyone's cup of tea!

I remember dragging a few friends for a 2001 Space Odyssey run at home. One ended up falling asleep, one just focusing on too much salt in popcorn and one cursing me 3 days straight. Despite that I believe 2001 was a classic which waited 40 years for another cinematic representation of sci-fi to come even close enough.
Finally Nolan has come close enough with Interstellar. There are quite a few meta-physical over-simplifications and some downright imagination to fill out the gaps left out by physicists. But yet to even try and explain general theory of relativity, bending of time space, time dilation and put them all in a context of human events is nothing short of a huge leap of creativity in film making. Especially when most academics in touch with all these concepts are said to have not fully understood the even meaning of general theory of relativity at the first place.
Just like any other movie, in Interstellar Nolan's representation of science gives you a lot to think about, some of them with far reaching philosophical interpretations. Absolutely a great watch and quite a few reruns. I promise it will take you to some other "dimension"...;)
Having said all that, this is not for everyone. If you are just looking for explosive entertainment, order the James Bond. This movie is all about interpreting the unknown.
