Amazing worth its praise but don't expect 2001

He IMDb I just watched Interstellar yesterday and its amazing but a tad shallow.
The story is pretty straight forward, food is running out, McConaughey is a bitter over qualified rocket scientist farmer and he gets to prove himself by going to space and saving the human race. McConaughey is basically Mark Wahlburg from Transformers and is not original in the least. 2001 fans will be disappointed to see that the movie does not provoke deeper thought and ultimately caters to the lowest common denominator.
What redeems this movie is the stellar acting and direction given by Nolan and his cast.
The visuals are amazing, the sounds transcendent and the acting will remind you why McConaughey is a Oscar wining actor. It will fascinate viewers from all backgrounds and ages it will inspire our future astronauts. I think most people will enjoy this movie but just don't expect a Kubrick style thought experiment.
