Eh.
“Interstellar” was a visual masterpiece, but it was yet another one of those friggen’ mopey “space is awful, the future sucks, everything is bleak and doomed” flicks that Hollywood seems incapable of not making. And for a movie where so much was made of its scientific accuracy about black holes and how so much effort was made into making everything right, so damned much of it was nonsensical or outright bad/wrong science that it yoinked me right out of the story. For example: the “Ranger” spaceplanes that were launched into Earth orbit atop a heavy lift booster of some kind: sure, that makes sense. But then… the same spaceplanes were able to dive *deep* into the gravity well of a supermassive black hole, rendezvous with a planet, land on it, launch back into orbit and CLIMB BACK OUT of the black holes gravity well. The planet was so far in the well that time dilation was massive… years went by outside for every hour spent inside. This meant that this spaceplane not only had a phenomenal thrust-to-weight ratio, it had a delta V of a *large* fraction of the speed of light. Which means that not only would it not need a booster to get to Earth orbit, it wouldn’t take months to go from Earth to Saturn.
Bah.
At least it wasn’t “Ad Astra” though. Shudder.
