Yeah yeah there's some pseudo-science and some logical issues here and there but overall, awesome movie.
So, imagine if a less terrible, alternate version of the movie Prometheus and the already-great Gravity had a baby. Okay, now imagine that baby was directed by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Inception). Interstellar is basically really, really great sci-fi. It's optimistic and hopeful, yet it keeps in-tact the human condition, which gives it a sense of realism.
In recent years, sci-fi ('I, Robot', Elysium, Oblivion, etc...) and science-focused films (Gravity, Apollo 18, etc...) have been very....dystopian. If not that, then they just play on our fear of the unknown to give us "What if" worst-case scenarios. Yes, it makes for entertaining movies, but at the same time, it kind of sucks that we've lost that excitement of the 20th century. I mean, Star Trek was about how exciting the future is. People weren't complete psychopaths because of technology, and the technology wasn't completely psychopathic because of humans. The possibilities were endless.
Interstellar is much in the same spirit as this older generation of sci-fi film.
I could go on, but I don't want to give away too much. All in all, it's a refreshing sci-fi film that is well worth 3 hours of your time. Oh, and you will cry. Like, probably a few times.
