Okay, to be honest, it doesn't totally suck. It has great visuals of space (not nearly as stunning as Gravity though), great acting by Matthew McConaughey, good premise and thrilling action sequences of interstellar travel. The movie is not "too complex to be understood by simple minds" or whatever the fans bring up every time someone criticizes this movie. If you know basic high school science, you are good to go. But if you are expecting another Dark Knight/Inception style movie with a lot of depth, you will be disappointed. Also, some people are even calling it the most scientifically accurate movie ever made. What?!! It has too many flaws that I will jot down below.
Also, I'm NOT a Nolan hater. I'm the exact opposite, a fan. I'm just disappointed with this movie.
SPOILER ALERT
Why I didnt like Interstellar:
So, it's not confusing cos it's scientific and too complex for my simple brain to understand. It's confusing cos it's stupid in many places.
They could have just stopped with the Matt Damon fight scene. He kills everyone and tries to get into the ship and accidentally destroying it too (when he desperately tries to force himself into the ship without proper docking). The greed of one man destroyed all hopes for mankind - nice anti-climatic ending. Well, at least better than going into his daughter's bedroom through a black hole... Much better than floating out of the blackhole, getting rescued with little oxygen remaining and waking up in a bright hospital room. Come on... people were laughing at this inside the movie hall.
Overheard in the movie theatre:
"1000$ for anyone who can write a synopsis of what the fuck just happened"
"I wish I could travel to a parallel universe in which I understood this movie after watching it"

Also, I'm NOT a Nolan hater. I'm the exact opposite, a fan. I'm just disappointed with this movie.
SPOILER ALERT
Why I didnt like Interstellar:
- Fuck Love. Love is this. Love is that. Can we get a proper sci-fi movie please?
- Black brother always gets it. "Nice black guy gets killed later" cliche. Or maybe coincidence. I dunno.
- Hero goes inside a black hole and reaches his daughter's bedroom. Please.
- Later, he conveniently floats out of the black hole. What?
- What are the odds of the survivors finding a human body floating in the space?
- Mann has to kill others to survive? Why can't he just admit that he lied and just walk into their spacecraft?
- Highly intelligent future humans had to just put a wormhole outside Saturn to help us. No other way to communicate to the three dimensional ancestors? Maybe even a wormhole closer to earth?
- Why is the tesseract inside a black hole, which they were anyway not going to enter?! Why did the higher intelligent beings assume that anyone would enter the black hole to find the solution?!
- How the hell did he push the books down from the shelf from within the black hole?
- Father: "How did you know that I was coming back?" Daughter: "Because, my father gave me his word *sob*" - Cheese.
- Scenes copied from the movie Gravity - camera spinning, challenging docking maneuvers, silent space explosions, hero sacrifices his life for the heroine without telling her. Maybe not copied, but in Gravity, all these were done well and naturally.
- Adult Murph throwing the paper sheets down the balcony and shouting "eureka", kissing the guy standing next to her - Cliche and cheese galore.
- Cooper's daughter actually doesn't talk to her father for 23 years even though she knows he had to leave to save mankind? What a bitch!
- "You walked into the best kept secret on Earth... NASA". So, how do they get enough funding to keep making these explorations while people are starving everywhere?
- Too much background music and too loud that it drowns the cheesy lines down. That actually could be a positive!
- Ms. Brand sacrifices mankind to meet her boyfriend. Cheese? Cliche? I dunno.
- Then she delivers the cheesiest lines about love of all time. "Love is a quantifiable physical force, the one thing that we can feel that transcends time and space" bullshit super cheese.
- Pacing - Too slow in the beginning, too fast towards the end
- Matt Damon, who is an astronaut considered to be "the best among them" in the movie, has no idea that he shouldn't open the door to fucking space until the docking is complete unless he wants to be blown into subatoms? What is he, 5 years old?
- Soooo many cringeworthy lines - Brand's love quotes - 2 times?, Old Murph's promise related line, "Can't we just let it go? It didn't hurt anybody"... rage into the good night whatever - 3 times, this one... You can actually feel the cringey feeling growing stronger and stronger inside you.
- Cooper, our hero, sends his daughter all the information required to solve the scientific problems related to interstellar travel through morse code and a watch from the inside of a black hole in future. Even if we assume that it is possible somehow and that such a device was created by future humans, couldn't he go back further and talk to some intelligent scientists BEFORE the calamities struck the earth.
- Fellow astronaut has to teach the more experienced astronaut Cooper what a worm hole is with a pencil and paper. That scene exists only to inform the audience that they are stupid. This could have been done in a better way, and maybe BEFORE they got into the space shuttle!?
- The weird scene in the beginning - "Dont kill us", "Lol, we are NASA", conveniently opens a door revealing a space shuttle. What? How... But... Aarrggh. That was like a bad advertisement on TV.
- Tars - "They didnt bring us here to change the past." Conner - "Say that again?". "Side character says something simple and the main character gets a mind shattering idea from it and says 'say that again?'" Cliche.
- Wasted Conner's son character. In fact, Conner doesn't give a crap about him. Poor Conner Jr.
- Did they just copy paste Saturn V launch video when launching from earth? The rocket even had Saturn V written on it.
- They used a big ass rocket to launch from earth (escape earth's gravity), but when leaving from the first planet which had higher gravitational pull (125% that of earth), they were able to fly away like it was no big deal using their puny space craft.
So, it's not confusing cos it's scientific and too complex for my simple brain to understand. It's confusing cos it's stupid in many places.

Indeed. Sitting thru this nonsense is like having Nolan, pardon my french, have his way with you for 2+ hours, and then having him asked you if you liked it. The shame, the shame....
Made me appreciate was a master Kubrick was.
I was looking forward to seeing this film in the theater today and disappointed that it totally sucked. I get what you mean Anonymous I, but mentioning Kubrick in the same breath as this travesty should not be done.
This movie way way too long, the music way too loud, and what dialogue I could hear was way too cheesy. Thumbs down.
1. As much as this is a sci fi film, Nolan has said in interviews that this is a very personal film, about a relationship between a father and her daughter. Can't get around something as beautiful as love, well, fuck your self.
2. Which movie isn't without cliches.
3. Please try to follow what the movie is about. They have proposed that these beings from the future have access to time as a physical dimension. This is what he finds inside the tesseract. Where every section of his life, he has access to as a physical dimension
4. He flouts out as the tesseract and the black hole is destroyed
5. The same odds that are of a dumbass like you of writing a blog.
Goes back through the wormhole, wormhole was near Saturn. They knew where the position of the wormhole, wouldn't take so long for them to find him where he left.
6. Supplies. Food supplies.
7. There are ways to communicate but I'll get to that later. A wormhole needs a support system to prevent it from collapsing. This is an arc of energy, which if made near the earth could have destroyed the earth.
8. They didn't assume. They knew the answer is inside the black hole. It is theorized that data from the black hole can be used to unify quantum mechanics and relativity. And since this tesseract is a theoretically a 5th dimensional object it needed to be in space where this condition is true. On earth this hadn't been done. Hence inside a black hole.
9. One conclusion they made in the movie is that they can use gravity to exert a force across dimensions. I can't spoon feed you as to how he pushed the books now. Think about what this means.
10. Sigh
11. Everything gravity does, interstellar does 10 times better
12. Do you even have a good point?
13. Emotions.
14. Uh, did you even watch the film?
In the starting when Cooper goes to talk to the school teacher, and talks about his son going to college, he questions where the taxpayers money is going. Answer: NASA
15. Deliberately loud. To give an amazing experience to the ones with brains to understand the film.
16. Uh. Did she? The idea of love that the propose in the movie is what this is related to. And was she wrong with her intuition that, her BF's planet is where humanity can survive?
17. Point from the start.
18. You think YOU are a critique?
19. He left earth years, years ago. And moreover he was the leader, possibly maneuvering the ship, The robots did the docking as shown previously and later. But I can give you this one.
20. I weep for you
21. The tesseract only showed sections from HIS life. And I can also say, possibly people he loved.
22. This scene was done only so that dumbasses in the audience can also get what it is. Cooper was surprised to find it in a three dimensional form, something that you don't think of when you hear the word "hole".
23. Uh. What?
24. I feel sick now.
25. Seriously?
You're right, it's not confusing cause it's too scientific for your brain. It's cause your brain is too undeveloped to understand this stuff.
The movie has its flaws, I even wrote a uni level essay about the science of interstellar. And I can stand for my word as I am doing astrophysics in uni. Going by your level of intellect I'm not sure you must have heard that before, but the black hole and wormhole stuff, that falls in astrophysics.
I can explain to you the real flaws in the film but your pitiful brain would not be able to comprehend it.
The movie actually has more depth than Dark knight. And the people who call it one of the most scientifically accurate film of all time, are actually ones who understand it.
Including great physicists of our time, Neil DeGrasse Tyson and the the astrophysicist Kip Thorne who worked on this film. And you think you know better than them? I feel sorry for you..
University professors are taking their students to appreciate the film. My professor calls it brilliant, and I've heard of sessions in other schools talking about the science of interstellar and Mr Smartarse here thinks it has way too many "scientific flaws".
And FYI, this is the first movie of christopher Nolan I have watched. Later after realizing his genius I looked at inception etc.
The point I'm trying to make here, is don't bullshit, if you don't know about the crap that comes out of your mouth. If you feel lost, you may as well read up on some stuff, look at reviews of fellow scientists, and then you can slack any opinion you have of yours.
And if you have any sort of self respect, I suggest you take this down and actually think before shitting out of your mouth again.
The Nolan disciples have arrived to tell us all how we are so unable to understand the movie and science! Yaay!! Nitwits, the lot of them. This film was the worst "sci-fi" movie of the year, but maybe the best comedy.
To the idiot who just can't stand to read criticism about your "genius" (lol) hero Nolan...go back to the loony bin. You have embarrassed yourself enough.
"9. One conclusion they made in the movie is that they can use gravity to exert a force across dimensions. I can't spoon feed you as to how he pushed the books now. Think about what this means."
Hitting against an object is not "gravity". It is kinetic energy. Nolan (and you for that matter) couldn't even get that right. But I don't want to "spoon feed" you now...
I’m not the author of this blog, but when I read one of the comments trying to “refute” the valid points the writer made, I had to chime in. First of all, his grammar is atrocious. His spelling is even worse. But what is truly astonishing is that the arguments he makes are so ludicrous that it’s as if he didn't even see the movie. Ironically, something he chides the author about many time. In fact, he may actually be a troll. If so, please pardon me for feeding him.
So with that out of the way, let’s begin!
1. “As much as this is a sci fi film, Nolan has said in interviews that this is a very personal film, about a relationship between a father and her daughter. Can't get around something as beautiful as love, well, fuck your self. “ Who cares if it’s “a personal film”?? The author is stating that he wanted to see a proper sci fi film, not “Love behind a Bookcase”. Understand now?
2. “Which movie isn't without cliches.” So you admit it is clichéd? I don’t understand what your point here is. You seem to be saying that since other movies are flawed Interstellar has the right to be flawed. I see, so it’s ok when you say so. Got it. Thanks.
3. “Please try to follow what the movie is about. They have proposed that these beings from the future have access to time as a physical dimension. This is what he finds inside the tesseract. Where every section of his life, he has access to as a physical dimension.”
Yes, the author knows what the movie is about. He is stating that it is absurd. And I agree.
4. “He flouts out as the tesseract and the black hole is destroyed” First of all it is “floats” not “flouts”. And you must have seen an extended cut of the movie. For, no where is it shown that the “tesseract & black hole are destroyed” Plus, how will Brand survive is the black hole is destroyed?? It is the only source of energy in that system. You did the movie “Interstellar” right? Ok…just checking.
5. “The same odds that are of a dumbass like you of writing a blog. Goes back through the wormhole, wormhole was near Saturn. They knew where the position of the wormhole, wouldn't take so long for them to find him where he left. “ Resorting now to name calling champ? Wow, you are quite a specimen. The author is stating that it is LUDICROUS that without even knowing when, where or if he was coming back that they just stumble upon him in deep space. Oh, with just enough oxygen left I might add. Cooper himself had no idea where he even was or what happened, let alone shown that he called ahead for a space cab to pick him up.
6 “Supplies. Food supplies.” What??? Here is where I call bullshit that you even watched the film. Damon actually states why he is doing what he is doing (trying to kill cooper). He states very clearly he is doing it to keep the others from knowing he lied about his planet so they would come and get him and what he did to cover it up. His plan is to take the ship, fly to the other planet and start a colony with the new human race. Hence Plan B. You are really something. What is wrong with you?? Did you even pay attention?? Supplies? What supplies? Do you really think he just wants to stay on that ice world and eat their supplies? The author is stating that it is crazy to believe a man who is so lonely for other humans that he would kill the very people he needs to live. It would have been much simpler and believable if he just said “oops, I screwed up. Sorry. This world sucks, let’s all go to the next planet!” But no, he has to act like a madman so the “Endurance” will explode and Nolan can plot can move forward.
7. “There are ways to communicate but I'll get to that later. A wormhole needs a support system to prevent it from collapsing. This is an arc of energy, which if made near the earth could have destroyed the earth.” What?? Bwaaahaaaww!!! “A support system to prevent it from collapsing / an Arc of energy”? Uh, no. No where is this stated or shown in the film. Seems like your own excuses now. And not one place in the film is it shown that if the worm hole is near earth it would destroy it. Um, pardon me, but it’s near Saturn and it seems just fine. You know, non-destroyed? Wanna know the real answer? Nolan wanted an excuse to do a fly by near Saturn to have his “Kubrick / Jupiter” moment. Ya know, show all them pretty rings? You never did get around to enlightening us of the ways to communicate btw.. Just sayin..
8. “They didn't assume. They knew the answer is inside the black hole. It is theorized that data from the black hole can be used to unify quantum mechanics and relativity. And since this tesseract is a theoretically a 5th dimensional object it needed to be in space where this condition is true. On earth this hadn't been done. Hence inside a black hole.”
Wrong again. The point was why would “higher beings” put the tesseract inside a black hole – somewhere they were not going to even go at first? If these beings already knew the “answer to gravity” why not put it somewhere else? Understand now? Hint – Stop, read, then comprehend. Got it? Ok, moving on…
9 “One conclusion they made in the movie is that they can use gravity to exert a force across dimensions. I can't spoon feed you as to how he pushed the books now. Think about what this means.” Uh, no. Someone already stated this – hitting stuff is not “gravity”. it’s kinetic energy.
10 “Sigh” Um, I dunno, sigh back? Seems cheesy to me too. Very cheesy..
11. “Everything gravity does, interstellar does 10 times better” Ya, just keep telling yourself that, Pal. That’s why Gravity got best director Oscar award, best picture nomination and Interstellar wasn't even nominated for either. And what are you a song from “Annie Get Your Gun”?? “Anything you can do I can do better!”
12. “Do you even have a good point?” Seems like he’s got a helluva point. That scene was beyond bad.
13. “Emotions.” What??? Holding a 23 yr grudge for doing the same thing she’s trying to do? Save the world? Uh huh. Sure.
14. “Uh, did you even watch the film?
In the starting when Cooper goes to talk to the school teacher, and talks about his son going to college, he questions where the taxpayers money is going. Answer: NASA “ Seems like he did see the film. More than you! The point was if everyone is starving, where’s the money for all these missions? Ya, I know.. ”taxes”. The author is saying the money is better spent elsewhere. Ya know, like saving the earth?
15 “Deliberately loud. To give an amazing experience to the ones with brains to understand the film.” Right. Big brains like music so loud it damages eardrums while they can’t hear dialogue. Uh huh. Sure..
16. “Uh. Did she? The idea of love that the propose in the movie is what this is related to. And was she wrong with her intuition that, her BF's planet is where humanity can survive”? Again, PAY ATTENTION! The author is stating that a trained scientist sent on a mission to save entire humanity would ignore all their scientific training to follow luuuuuuv and her boyfriend. Got it now? Geez this is getting exhausting!
17. “Point from the start”. Ya we know. Idiot point from the start.
18. “You think YOU are a critique?” If not he could be. However, they are valid observations. And I agree with them.
19. “He left earth years, years ago. And moreover he was the leader, possibly maneuvering the ship, The robots did the docking as shown previously and later. But I can give you this one.” WRONG! All the docking was done by humans. WATCH THE MOVIE! First by Doyle and then by Cooper. What is wrong with you? What movie did you watch?
20. “I weep for you.” Nah, I weep for you. Actually, since you’re a troll, I’d rather not after all, so I won’t.
21. “The tesseract only showed sections from HIS life. And I can also say, possibly people he loved.” Wow, really? That’s convenient, huh? Well then how about getting info about to himself or others about his wife’s cancer sooner so she won’t croak like he complains about earlier? Didn't think about that one huh champ?
22 “This scene was done only so that dumbasses in the audience can also get what it is. Cooper was surprised to find it in a three dimensional form, something that you don't think of when you hear the word "hole". “ More name calling. Sigh…Anyway the point was shouldn't they have done this before they took off? You know, logically?
23. “Uh. What?” That’s right. That scene was beyond awful.
24. “I feel sick now.” Come to think of it …me too.
25. “Seriously?” Yup…seriously. Unlike Nolan‘s intentions and film. We don’t even know what the hell happened to his son??? Really? Cooper never even asks? Wow, hell of a parent.
To the troll...You did not write a "uni level" essay on the "science of Interstellar". You can't even make your points on a comment section of a blog. You are a troll and a liar. You point out Neil DeGrasse Tyson as a back up for your arguments. You do know he has come out publicly with a statement about all the flaws and plot holes in this movie right? No? But you're so well informed! Oh and Kip Thorne is not the Emperor of Physics! Interstellar is not science. It's FANTASY. And a bad one at that..
"University professors are taking their students to appreciate the film. My professor calls it brilliant, and I've heard of sessions in other schools talking about the science of interstellar and Mr Smartarse here thinks it has way too many "scientific flaws".
Hilarious. What "University Professors" are taking their students to see Interstellar? So Professors are going on field trips with grown adults now? Oh my god. I know you will never grow up and actually attend college so let me tell you...THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. How old are you anyway? Ten? Eleven?
Personally I thought the movie was brilliant until the black hole was entered. But from then onwards it was just stupid. I think it would of been a better ending if the black hole had of led to a parallel universe and somehow took Mr McConaughey to just back to the start of the strange ghost like happenings within the household and he went home to try to talk to his daughter and realised he was a ghost and moved all the books to try to alert the other him. And in the end his daughter realised and together they both solved how to save the world even though the other him left the daughter knew her father in some way was still with her. And this would repeat from universe to universe with some small differences in each timeline. I'm no scientist and I'm not pretending to understand the ins and outs off how the universe works and yes theres probably lots of flaws in what ive said but from what ive read that would make more sense to me than the black hole scenario in the movie.
Thanks for the comments. I wanted to reply to the criticisms, but someone has already done. Thank you, kind anonymous sir :)
Hi Aswin,
The reply to the person who "criticized" your review came from me (Jack). I was just so annoyed at his infantile, uninformed, lazy, name-calling, attack on what you wrote I just had to respond. To make matters worse, it was as if he had never even seen the movie and yet he still went after you.
I think he's one of these teenage (or younger) Nolan worshipers who thinks he can do no wrong.
Anyway, kudos again on your review.
Best,
--Jack
Thanks Jack.
I have nothing against Nolan. In fact, I really loved The Dark Knight and Inception. I just didn't like the media and fans hailing Interstellar as the most scientifically accurate sci-fi movie ever. As a sci-fi fan who has seen masterpieces like 2001, Gravity, Moon and District 9, I felt completely let down by this movie.
And, I didn't expect that you'd see my reply. I'm glad that you did. Thanks again :)
Hello Aswin,
I agree and also have enjoyed Nolan's past films. I was an admirer all the way back to Insomnia when many people didn't even know who he was. I didn't care much for Memento, nothing against Nolan, it's just that I'm not a fan of "gimmick" movies. But "The Prestige" is among one of my favorite films. Nolan nailed it with that movie. His style fit the material like a glove. Just superb. And I believe "The Dark Knight" was a triumph and damn near flawless. But beginning with "The Dark Knight Rises" things started to go off the rails with Nolan. And it has culminated with "Interstellar". Just about
everything with that movie, with the exception of the effects, is severely flawed. The plot, acting, dialogue & structure are all awful. And don't get me started on the "science".
Let's hope Nolan can reverse course and return to his level of excellence with his next film.
Thanks, Jack
You're absolutely right.
"Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of all things."
- Shawshank Redemption.
Cheers :)
You're absolutely right.
You're absolutely right.
It's called Science fiction. All other arguments are invalid.
I just read the first reason, and I laughed and could not agree more.
Nothing is more irritating like quotes like "You cannot explain love by science" or "Love is the most powerful thing in the universe", when the actors really mean it (not metaphorically).
Science can already explain what love is or how it has been evolved and certainly love is not a power at all (unless it is metaphorical).
I think movie producers are pandering to the general public who are afraid to see the real world as it is.
@Jeong-hun Sin Yeah, it's definitely not a dimension-transcending force :D
To the anonymous guy above, if it was just a fiction, there is no problem. But since they're pushing it as the most scientifically accurate movie (and unfairly criticizing Gravity), I think my arguments are valid.
I would like to weigh in here. Having read through some of the comments, seeing some ridiculous accusations by the anonymous and obvious troll, and reading some well worded rebuttals, I would still like to point out to the author why Interstellar is being pushed as one of the most scientifically accurate movie of all time.
1. The wormhole, its description and depiction is best seen until now. Its simulations are based on real physics and are led by world renowned expert Kip Thorne.
2. The sequence of travelling through the wormhole is very accurate, in the sense that the character lost control of the ship while passing through what is called the bulk.
3. The solar powered drone which stayed up for decades. If the near future scenario depicted is to take place that is what would happen to such drones.
4. The mystery “gravity equations”. It’s a nod to unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics, two polarizing fields of study which puzzles physicists till date.
5. The effects of time dilation, both on the planet, and while manoeuvring a slingshot around the black hole are brilliantly done. And while I’m on it, gravitational slingshots, that is a real technique used by NASA in space flights to distant planets. (New Horizons is the latest version)
6. And lastly, the most important point of them all, the black hole. The visual description along with its details, stunning as it may, is also ground-breaking to say the least. A lot of work was put into constructing the black hole, and there was actually a discovery about the accretion disk of the black hole being warped as well due to extreme curvature of space-time. If I’m not mistaken, Mr Thorne also announced that a couple of scientific papers are being written as a result of the work that the production team put into forming that black hole.
I’m hoping that the idea is getting across to you. There are other elements, some of which you have pointed out rather hilariously, which are wrong with the film, the truly scientific blunders, although have been missed. I won’t mind pointing it out to you if you’re interested.
I wouldn’t care much for characterization or the clichés that you have talked of, but all of the above is few of the truly brilliant things about the film, and things that I purely enjoyed. As someone who has some understanding of the physics they have used, I enjoyed the film, perhaps more so than you did. As for the ending sequence, in my opinion, there’s more to it then what you’re letting on.
And lastly, Gravity was a brilliantly done film, but if one talks of pure science, they got some very basic things wrong.
I’m hoping that this is read in the way it is intended to get across, not as a defence or attack, but as a mere stating of some the facts associated with the film. Cheers.
Hi Sarthak,
Thanks for sharing your arguments.
Yes, I've read somewhere that the wormhole modelling in the movie is accurate. I'm not an astrophysicist and so, I can't argue with that. Solar powered drones may be created and gravity equations may be solved in the future. All that's what makes a sci-fi movie sci-fi. Slingshots were depicted in other movies like Armageddon and is a real technique. Black hole was visually stunning for sure.
But although they introduced so many ideas through the movie, they got so many simple scientific facts wrong. You can't call a movie the most scientific film ever when a guy can push books in his daughter's bedroom from within a blackhole and then float out of it as if it's no big deal, instead of getting torn into infinite pieces. And all the other blunders that I mentioned in the post.
I'm really interested to know your thoughts on the ending sequence and the other mistakes that I missed. As a sci-fi movie fan, I didn't find so many basic mistakes in Gravity as in Interstellar and that's the reason why I enjoyed Gravity so much. But, it'd be nice if you could point out the mistakes in Gravity too.
Thanks for your comments and for checking out my post :)
I couldn't care less if the science is technically correct(ish), if the movie is boring, the movie is boring.
Thank you so much for this. I agree about everything. I thought I was the only one who thought the movie was really dumb, with everyone calling it a masterpiece.
It had potential but sadly it sucked.
@Irial, You're welcome. I thought I was the only one too :D
Completely disagree. We live(or possibly always have lived) in an age when cynicism is regarded as more intelligent, intellectual etc. People, who have never, and will never create something as profound as any number of fantastic works of art feel free to disdain whatever perceived imperfections they deem discredits said art.
" You can't call a movie the most scientific film ever when a guy can push books in his daughter's bedroom from within a blackhole and then float out of it as if it's no big deal, instead of getting torn into infinite pieces. And all the other blunders that I mentioned in the post".
addressing this qualifier, it is made very clear, by many prominent theoretical physicists that at a certain point, the ideas in the movie become THEORETICAL, open to vast amounts of interpretation. The common understanding of event horizons and black holes do not preclude the events in the movie from happening, precisely because no ones actually knows exactly what will happen for sure when you mix together black holes and five dimensional beings. Please spare the commonly held scientific thought on the matter, the movie is fairly accuarte, and if people like Neil Degrass Tyson and Kip Thorne are willing to ponder possibilities, I think we should all be able to.
This Blog post strikes me as pretty trollish. So in summation - Get over yourself, The movie was freaking fantastic, and if you really don't think so, at least somewhere deep inside, behind all that posturing bullcrap, than I feel sorry for all of you.
