Interstellar was worth the price of admission. The science was sketchy at times -- the human race no longer has MRIs but we have the propulsion to transport human beings to Saturn in two years time. But the story was great. I agonized when the characters chose to go to Miller's planet first, at the risk of decades expended in just seemingly a few hours time. That's the sign of a good movie when you agonize about the bad decisions that characters make.
My favorite part about Interstellar was the choices that Chris Nolan made in telling his story. There was no deviation to entertain the frustrations of living in a tin can for years on end. No cliche about the horrible food in space. No fear of just whisking from one planet to the next without adequate anxious lead time. Nolan has a recognition that the audience has all this stored in the collective memory bank from 2001, Alien, Gravity and other films about space travel. Nothing gets in the way of a good story. I appreciate that.
