[QUOTE=Relentless;20283601]@********** just a quick note on spoilers. I didn't mention any spoilers until after warning people early in the thread. At this point anyone reading should already have seen the spoiler warnings by now.[quote]

I hate it when people spoil movies (I didn't even click this thread until after I saw the movie), so I'm just being over protective.

If you look at interstellar as a comedy it does do a nice job of making fun of science. Perhaps it fits more neatly in the scifi genre where you'd find Idiocracy. As unintentional comedy this film did have me laughing at the plot several times.

Trust me, I wish science-fiction movies were more scientifically accurate, and knowing Kip Thorne was involved in this movie boosted my expectations for this. At the same time, the artists behind the camera have to make creative decisions and dumb shit down sometimes, which sucks. I love Sci-fi that is grounded in reality, but I don't mind giant leaps either.
