Interstellar, the Matthew McConaughey-starring, Christopher Nolan-directing science fiction action flick, is a story about a group of explorers who use a wormhole in space to surpass the limitations of human space travel and achieve new grounds in interstellar exploration.
Fortunately for its investors, the nearly-three-hour movie, which cost approximately $165 million to make, has opened to rave reviews. Among its fans, perhaps a bit surprisingly to many given the high level of criticism with which he reviews popular science / technology-based forms of entertainment, is American cosmologist, physicist, and author Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Dr. Tyson took to Twitter this past weekend to share his feelings on the new science fiction action flick, and not since 1998’s Deep Impact has he given such positive reviews of a movie about space and the scientists / engineers depicted there within.
