Christopher Nolan's next: 'Interstellar'
Script was written by his brother, and Spielberg was previously attached.

It sounds like "Contact", save for the poor science.

I don't think it's much like Contact. It's closer to 2001, although it doesn't have the inherent coldness of Kubrick's masterpiece.
Interstellar's a bit of a strange bird, because beyond the great visuals there's some very emotional moments, which is no doubt why I liked it so much. There's a reason that, while I love them both and have dedicated hundreds of hours to the Star Trek universe, I prefer Star Wars (OT...). I just gravitate more toward storytelling than I do science. Neither imagination or fantasy are to me dirty words, I generally don't give a shit if something isn't 100% scientifically accurate (like we could possibly know that for speculative fiction anyway, but that's another topic...) and I usually leave hard science fiction, whether it's books or movies or whatever, feeling like the tech was cool but the story just wasn't very interesting. But that's just me. I did not feel like that walking out of Interstellar. That is to say that while I do think that the Nolans were striving to be accurate with their science, they just happened to tell what I thought was a good, emotional story. And while I wouldn't put it on par with 2001, as I said last night I thought it was pretty great, and I'm sure I'll see it again, although maybe not this weekend. I want to catch Birdman while I can.

I love it when an overhyped movie get shit on by critics and fans. I go in with lower expectations and thnk the movie is great. A very emotional story that came full circle. I like that.
The only science part that I did not like and I am sure someone smarter than me will tell me I am wrong about is
Spoiler!
In no way did that ruin the movie for me. I loved it.

Every single movie is high on imdb on its opening day. It's because fan boys see it first, rate it high no matter what

Why does anyone really care about movie ratings?
Why should I give a shit what someone else thinks about a movie? |

I'll check rotten tomatoes to get an overall idea of how the movie is being received if I'm on the bubble about seeing it. Not a huge factor, though. I have a few friends whose opinions I respect what they thought of something, too. IMDB ratings are practically worthless, though. There's a very specific demographic that spams that site. It's evident in the top 20 list.
