From the Interstellar wikipedia page: The resulting visual effects provided Thorne with new insight into the gravitational lensing and accretion disks surrounding black holes, resulting in the publication of three scientific papers.[71][72][73]

      No, it’s really not.

      Christopher Nolan’s screenplays tend to be hit or miss, and Interstellar is deep in the “miss” category

            Interstellar is the sort of movie that would have done a lot better in the hands of a director like Spielberg. Nolan’s dry, clinical, super grounded approach is unspeakably jarring in a movie whose ultimate thesis is that love is a kind of fundamental force. It wants to be a magic-realist fantasy, but Nolan tries to treat it like a pseudo-documentary.
