In the months leading up to the release of INTERSTELLAR, Christopher Nolan and Co. took great care in releasing promotional material discussing the science of the film. Regardless of how you feel about the end result, you have to give the filmmakers props for attempting to deliver an experience that's as factual as scientifically possible. Acclaimed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson took to Twitter to deliver a plethora of tidbits regarding what he thought about the film. You can check out his Twitter here, but I've included most of the Tweets below. The following only contains some VERY LIGHT SPOILERS, so unless you want to go into the movie blind, it should be safe to read.

From the sound of it, most of the science of INTERSTELLAR cleared with Tyson okay. Personally, a film needs to entertain first and foremost but if it goes the extra mile to deliver something factual, then good on the filmmakers! If there's one given about a Christopher Nolan flick, it's that they'll get people talking. If you haven't already, you can jump into this article and discuss the flick with your fellow Schmoes. Surprisingly, INTERSTELLAR was bested by Disney's BIG HERO 6 at the box office this weekend, but which of the two films do you think will have the stronger legs?
INTERSTELLAR is now in theaters!
