Has to be the 'Nolan Factor' or something that this film has a higher overall rating than masterpieces like "Chinatown", "The Shining", "The Big Lebowski" and "2001 A Space Odyssey" to name just a few. This is absolutely not a better film than any of those and it's way too long and completely unbelievable to boot.

Nolan does a decent job getting the audience to suspend their disbelief (as he always does), even going so far as to hire experts in astrophysics and astronomy. Certainly some of the plot devices are theoretically plausible, but as a person with an education in physics (up to two semesters of quantum mechanics) and a strong interest in science fiction, this part of the movie just didn't add up.

Again, the film is VERY long, and Christopher Nolan has MANY fans (of which I am one), but let's get real here. "Interstellar" takes on a lot and does a decent job of tying it all together, but this isn't enduring classic cinema on any level and the writing could have been better.
