In typical Nolan style, Interstellar confuses bigness for greatness. It's three hours of monumental pomposity, corny emotionalism and anti-science mysticism dressed up as real science.
There is nothing wrong with escapist fairy tales, of course, but Interstellar is being hyped for its fidelity to science fact rather than science fiction. Much publicity around the movie has centered on the involvement of Kip Thorne, former Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech, a friend of Stephen Hawking and a world expert on Einstein�s general theory of relativity. Thorne�s producer credit lends the project extra intellectual credibility, but only if you take the fantastical plot with a Saturn-sized pinch of salt.
There is a derisive phrase used in theoretical physics: "not even wrong." It describes speculation that is so far off target it fails to qualify even as bad science. Large sections of Interstellar are not even wrong. Anyone can debunk the junk science in Nolan's movie in just 20 minutes on Google. Thankfully, there is no need because London-based astrophysics expert Dr. Roberto Trotta has already done the work in a Guardian article which unravels the good, the bad and the plain stupid pseudo-science in the film.
